... You'd be risking your life, so... only if you're prepared for that.

[bookpapers]

...If this was earlier, then I would say no.

But after that stuff about partners being able to survive if they link up with someone else...

[There's still a chance we can survive it. I don't want to die, but I don't want Kate to die because of me either. But if I become a monster and I get executed...]

Do you know someone you can partner with if I get killed?

[sootprints]

Yes. Do you?

[bookpapers]

[at that he grins, a little ruefully]

...Yeah, I figured you would.

[then he shakes his head]

I don't, but I can ask around.

[sootprints]

Do you want to confirm now, then, or should we wait...?

[bookpapers]

Is it okay if we wait until Friday? I need to talk to Yuu about it.

I won't tell him that you asked me, just that the possibility's come up.

[sootprints]

[ she considers that, and nods. ]

That sounds reasonable, yes.

[ I hope we're both still here by then...

... and there's a little wince at that thought. ]

[bookpapers]

[at that, he looks rueful.]

Me too.

[...But if I'm gone, then Kate could find someone who'll say yes.]

[sootprints]

I hope you're not thinking about how your death could be a convenience to others.

[ sternly. ]
