Not the mercenary type at heart, are you-- think most would consider the job over as soon as they were dead.

[but- hmm.]

...was it in battle, then, for you?

[hardrocklife]

Well... our paths had crossed a few times before then, too.

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.

[voidshift]

...can't blame you for that. But-- it's just as likely that she did live, then, any amount of time can make the difference there.

[hardrocklife]

... I hope so. I'd like to believe there was meaning in my death.

[voidshift]

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.

[He shakes his head.]

I'm not concerned about how my deeds will be judged. All that matters are the results.

[voidshift]

What, not at all?

[a little surprised, there.]

...very practical of you, I suppose.

[hardrocklife]

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.

[voidshift]

Suppose that makes sense. People always want to make things easier to understand, in that way.

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

[hardrocklife]

Is that what you'd like for yourself? To be remembered by someone?

[voidshift]

I think most people would, you know, but- yes.
