Death and life both have the meaning we give them, I think. You were-- you meant to do something good, with yours, I don't think that stops counting regardless of how it turned out.
I've spent a lot of my life being called "villain" or "hero" and pushed into one role or the other. After a while, the notions of good and evil start to feel meaningless.

Who is she?
no subject
I was hired to protect her, so I would like to know if I succeeded at that.
no subject
[but- hmm.]
...was it in battle, then, for you?
no subject
And... yeah. Didn't actually think I could win... Just had to buy some time. I thought this body was durable enough to hold out for longer.

I'm not concerned about how my deeds will be judged. All that matters are the results.
no subject
[a little surprised, there.]
...very practical of you, I suppose.

Still, regardless of judgment, I'd-- like to think all of us will be remembered.
