[ on a base level, it's something she could see herself doing, if it had nothing to do with demons. she's incredibly racist against demons, for reasons like they kill everyone, which dokja only confirms.
but shinobu is someone who would choose to be killed over having to kill everyone. it's terrible how much she won't disagree with him for his choice here even if she can also understand the pain of those he made cut him down. ]
Is there no escaping fate in your world? No changing what's predetermined?
When a fate like that is brought on by a Nebula... I've never read or seen anything change its course. Fortunately there isn't a risk of another happening.
[ of course, one time is enough for it to mean something. it could've gone worse... given everything that happened after. there's t least confidence in that another fate like that will be thrust upon him.
he blinks a few but he smiles lightly. ] Given the time that I've arrived from, yes I'm still alive. I'm living quite a peaceful life actually. Until this situation happened, of course.
...I am. It's the kind of happy ending anyone could ask for. More than anything I'd like to go back but, well we do have our hostages to consider. [ and his hostage is incredibly important to him. ]
If that's true, I'm glad. I'll admit I saw some worrying things in another memory about you. [ three guesses where and who and the first two don't count. ]
So if the time you're from is happy and peaceful, I hope it remains that way once you return safely with your hostage.
I'm sure you did. I have a history of dying... nine? times now, so I'm sure some things were bound to come up from any of my companions that could be worrying.
[ a considering thought. ] Long as I'm able to get her safely back, that'll be enough.
[ dying feels awful, but sometimes if he has the means of coming back... well, then so be it. ]
...Mm, it's fine. Aikawa and Mikazuki Munechika are aware of who it is by name so. [ it's fine. he'll even reach for his locket, pressing it open so Shinobu can get a glimpse of something very large with white fluffy fur and a horn. ] Her name is Biyoo. Technically a child of mine, but she's a dokkaebi.
I saved her soul back home to not risk the system using her again. The opportunity for her to be reborn was through a dokkaebi egg. ..I had promised to keep her safe so, it's why I'm here now. [ there is fond, protectiveness, and clear love that he holds for her. this is his child... ]
shinobu..... accepts with skepticism because she sees their similarities, and they're not great. she understands and utilizes self-sacrifice, but she does understand the scars they leave behind with how many scars she has of her own.
she looks at his locket. cute... ]
I'm sorry it seems she's being used by another system now. I want all of us to leave here safely.

I am starting to wonder if Yoo Joonghyuk-san has the right of it now.
[ she chose to die multiple times over the course of multiple games, but she wouldn't choose to make anyone suffer her death nine times. ]
... Is it too personal to ask who she is?
