[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.

...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.

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. ]

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.

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.

[ 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?
