Allow me to counter with a question. What level of crime would I need to commit before you would actively prevent its success?

[HM,,,,

He stays silent, staring at the machine thoughtfully... before moving to try and pick up another plushie. God, why are you such a drag, Emet.]

I am not quite certain what you mean by crime. But I would say that the main line I draw is hurting people who do not deserve it or have no chance of fighting back. Of course, there are once again considerations of the reason why you would do so, of how you yourself view your deeds. As I've told Five, while I do not approve of the things he had to do to save his world, I understand and accept that there was no other feasible way for him. And a good part of why I understand and accept it is because he, too, does not take particular joy in it.

[Annnnd plushie get! It's probably Vergil.]

[If the plush doesn't have a tail bow, Emet will find something suitable to ensure it does have one. Accessories are important!

And why? Well, because he is, unfortunately.]

Five does have quite the disadvantage, but his heart is ever in the right place. And are you saying you would not oppose Five had you the opportunity?

[JUST LET HIM GET HIS PLUSHIES.... GOD............. RNG says it does have the tail bow!! Very good merch here.]

...I'm uncertain as to what you mean by disadvantage?

An entire organization exists to keep the timeline in check. That the apocalypse is meant to happen. That would keep events so that the would lose all, including his beloved family.

Quite admiral, isn't it? That he would stand against all that. But to run in head to head would lead to ruin. Thus he is forced to take paths less ideal.

But can you imagine shouldering such alone? I wouldn't be able to.

[He stays quiet for a time, digesting this.]

...I likely would not be able to, either. I already cannot handle many things here, while others weather them much more easily.

Externally they weather it, but that doesn't mean the scars are not left. He does fall back to that survival, self-reliant nature as it was his means for quite some time.

Truthfully, no one should be forced to handle what is thrown at us here. So do not fault yourself.

[He does motion at the plush.]

Are you going to name is Ligrev?

[He opens his mouth to comment, but--]

Ligrev?

Upon his arrival, Vergil participated in a live and used the name to hide his identity. It was quite endearing actually.

[Oh my god............. adorable. Levity can't help grinning at that.]

Ah, I'm beginning to understand. I misspelled his name the other night because I was drunk, and he said that was a "new one" and thanked me for it.

Then perhaps you could name it that. I'm sure you would enjoy the inside joke.

Only if Vergil knows about this, and it embarrasses him. Though I was originally planning on giving it to either Cosmo or Nero.

How thoughtful.

Is there anything you wanted for yourself?

[Hmm...]

... I'm not sure. Most of my relationships at the moment are either too complicated or not developed enough for me to get toys of others.

Truly? Perhaps you think too deeply.

Why not a small collection of Future is Now stickers. Or perhaps those you've simply enjoyed spending time with.

[Hmmm--]

Oh, maybe one of Nero! We only really met last night, but we've really hit it off. Oh, and maybe Glory too...

There we are. If we meant to be idols and stuck here we might as well make the most of it. Indulging in small trinkets is hardly a vice.

[He smiles, a little sadly.]

Well, it's not as though I see it as a vice. It's more that right now there aren't many people I feel entirely comfortable with keeping trinkets of.

Too many painful memories?

What of Cardinal, Lily, or perhaps Vergil. A collection of those whom you met on your first day.

Mmm... A feeling of my own inadequacy is perhaps the better way to put it. As I've told you, I've made up with Ardyn, so I do not hold a grudge. But it's simply complicated.

Time will help. Creating pleasant memories to offset the negative ones.

Do you know how to play chess?

[...]

I did learn for him.

[his RELATIONSHIP DRAMA,]

Truthfully, I'm looking for activities you can do together that would be relaxing and pleasant, but if you would like me to desist, I can.

[He fiddles with the machine controls for a while.]

I... do want to see him. I just don't know if it is yet a good idea or not.

[Isn't it weird how he feels kind of nauseous when thinking about Absinthe, they made up, things should be fine,]

Serenity has helped me with the memory, but... I still cannot predict how exactly I would react. We spoke after the game the other day, in fact, but... I was not exactly in a regular state at the time.

[Feelings don't go away just because one wants them too, unfortunately.]

I do agree. I would not use after a game such as that as an accurate measure to judge. But time will help even if it feels as if it won't now.

If I recall, Duality is quite fond of cats if you are looking for a gift for him.
