[ she thinks he's not stupid enough to not get healed. she hopes he's not that much of an m, but.... if it'll make him get healed faster when he won't go and get killed, well... she won't say no. ]
It better be.
[ or she'll kill him herself? but she doesn't want to be nerfed. ]
Even if you're dead, there's no reason to prolong pain.
[ unfortunately, four doesn't think it's that unhinged. ]
That was what I was expecting, too. [ a beat. ] It was more what I was hoping for.
[ to simply cease existing. there isn't any wistfulness to her tone, only simple admittance, which or may not be just as unhinged. it's something she should have or used to say with much more melodrama. ]
Even if souls exist, that doesn't mean they have to last forever.
[ if reincarnation doesn't exist and there is no where for souls to go, they can simply go away. go out. go bye. ]
[that's more or less the direction of lavi's thoughts too -- that the war would be over.]
It gave so many their purpose. [he's not so naive to think that the war ending could save everyone, but it'll help the others. the science division. the head nurse. lenalee and komui] But maybe that'll give them some time to think of what else they can be. Like us.
[their wars have ended, with or without them.]
'Course, I'd just have to move on to the next one after.
[he doesn't say anything for a moment, just absorbing this moment, this brief touch of understanding even if the topic doesn't bring him joy. Then, since it calls to mind another subject,]
...I talked to almost everyone on that side. Some of them said they want to win, when I asked 'em.
Apparently, they're planning on getting all of us out of here when they win.

Stop. That has to be the twentieth time I've heard that since I got back.
[dryly, though he props his chin up with his good hand,]
Bixing and Gid told me that Rosé can heal wounds. You wanna come with me and ask?
no subject
It's quicker that way, Lavi. [ because they're double dead. ] Why would I want to go with you? I'm nearly healed by my own ability.
[ she sighs. ]
But if it'll get you healed faster, I mind him less than the others.
no subject
Thanks, Clover. [he's touched that she'd still go with him.... it makes him fond, reminds him of his own intentions.]
If my arm's still broken, then I'll come and pick you up. Think it should be fine by tomorrow though.

Lavi's quiet at that, maybe a little more quiet than would be warranted at such a sensible statement.]
I always figured that pain would be the first thing to go, after I died. That's what I was hoping for, anyway.
no subject
[ unfortunately, she's still too much of a bitter person to wax too much philosophical. ]
That seems to be a sentiment made for those who go to heaven, if you believe in that.
no subject
[there's a wistfulness to his voice that would probably sound unhinged, considering how he sounds a little disappointed.]
Even though I know souls exist in my world... But maybe they just float around and sleep.

...Me too. [how many times had he wished for it in that room? it's been a while, but he still remembers the exact number.]
My world would be better off that way. No souls, no way for the Earl to manipulate them. Can't put nothing in a machine.
no subject
The war you're fighting would be over.
[ or at least that particular conflict would be. she doesn't know enough about the Earl to know if he'd find some other means to wreak havoc. ]
Or it'd be simpler.

[ how much that is like them is up in the air. even if they don't have much purpose now, she at least thinks they were more than a war. ]
... For your duty. [ her voice grows quieter. ] It wouldn't end for you.
[ in a way, that's even sadder. ]
no subject
Bookman are meant to be recorders of history, not wars. But war is the only thing that happens, so what else are they supposed to record?]
Only if humans decide to stop fighting one another.
[in the tone of someone saying a joke, because can they? he doesn't think so.]
no subject
she smiles, as if finding his joke funny except there's little mirth in the curve of her lips. ]
We both know how likely that is.
no subject

Apparently, they're planning on getting all of us out of here when they win.
no subject
[ not all directly, but it wasn't too had to see it or notice the sentiment amongst some of the single dead. ]
Not all of us care about getting out of Hell, however.
no subject
I think it's nice that they're thinking of us, in their own way. [of course lavi would think that's nice, softhearted as he is.]
I feel like it'd be a tough sell though. Only one person can win, and maybe they can include the others in that, but all of us?
