[It's the answer he sort of knew that she would give. It's an answer he's all too familiar with and he thinks of other people who are just as self-sacrificing. Martyrs who were thrust into things without permission and have just accepted their fate.]
...someone very smart once told me something about how things work. [His words are careful then.] He said: "the thing about how things are "supposed to go" is that they're not always good, and they dont always have happy endings. A lot of deadend timelines had better things happen in them. More people survive or some different, better choices were made. But by the rules, those things did not count because they weren't how things were supposed to go."
And I think, maybe, because of your answer...you know that. Instinctually, I mean. Even knowing what you know now, you just said that you would still do it because you want to help. Because that is how things are supposed to go. But I also do not think this is the end. That's the thing about time and fate? It sounds very scary when you only know parts of it, but there's still the end to meet. So...I think there is still time and a way to find a solution. There has to be a third option outside of letting this happen to you and not letting it happen at all.
It may just need to be something unexpected. "Something that works outside of things." [That part wasn't supposed to be directly quoted, but it is something he has given thought to for some time.]
Dirk is still new to his aspect, but I don't think that will stop him from trying to find an answer. Just like I do not think you will stop being a magical girl who wants to help. And just like I think you will not stop being yourself just because your soul isn't in your body. It's. Still yours, isn't it? It's still in your hands. [Like...literally.] It is still yours to decide what to do with, and I know you want to help but don't forget there are people that will help you, too. No matter what you decide.
