[Endgame: rise or DROWN]
[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]
[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]
[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

Minato, haven't you-- [clenches his teeth, sucking in another sharp, pained breath] -- haven't you given up enough?
no subject
It's not about that.
[ gently and calmly. ]
Nessa's suffering. She's been suffering a long time.
We can finally... do something about it. So I'm going to do my part too.

[why is it always Minato?? why is he always the one asked to sacrifice something for someone else??]
no subject
Maybe not. But... this time, it is. And that's okay.
Maybe next time...
[ it won't have to be that way. ]
no subject
[still pleading]
Why not now?
no subject
Because this time... I can do this.
Maybe it'll be enough.
no subject
Fuck, Minato. . .
[he is very unhappy and he still doesn't think Minato has to do this, but-- it's a losing argument, isn't it?]
no subject
... I'm sorry.
