Sorry, I just... I don't know if we can make it, in the long run. Even in the short run. And since being honest is the thing now, t-that scares me.

[Glancing at the jackal though!!!]

[desirestruth]

I know. I'm scared, too.

[HANDING SMOL YAPPER TO HLASOH here hug this no one will judge anyone for hugging a soft animal.]

[Petting! It is good and soft.]

[desirestruth]

I don't know if it helps, but...I guess in the end, the best I can offer is that if we keep fighting, and keep trying, then even if the end comes, I'll never have to wonder if it'd been different if I hadn't given up.

Maybe it's an odd way to keep hope going, but I don't know that any bright-hearted speeches would go over that well.

[nihilmancy]

There are things that I need to accomplish before I die. If I am consumed, along with my world, where will my soul find itself? Heh, I won't even be able to haunt my enemies, but I can't find them.

So even talk of "fighting" until the end, isn't good enough for me.

[desirestruth]

Of course not. But if I told you we'd surely win, you'd never believe me--and with good reason, since I can't really guarantee it, can I?

All I can tell you is this. The only antidote to hopeless odds is to find reasons to keep going anyway.

[nihilmancy]

You're right about that much. I probably would have gotten more pessimistic.

...Yes. I think I know what you mean.
