[color=fff79a][b]“You live for nothing else but to survive,”[/b][/color] Anari summarized. [color=fff79a][b]“Instead of lifting your hand to help others who cannot help themselves you decide not to, not because you can’t, but because you see no use in it. What good is surviving then if you are going to die in the end regardless, Blank? Have you given your values as much thought as you claim to, or is it easier for you to not think about anything at all?”[/b][/color]

She grew tense in stance and tone, doing nothing at all to conceal how shaken up she was becoming. To live day-after-day and do nothing with your life felt depressing and senseless. It was either a lie he was telling her to justify the rot in Gamorria he stood by and did nothing about, or he was selfish to the core and thought only of himself. 

[color=fff79a][b]“Better to cling to those at the top and feed from their cruelty like a parasite. [i]Behaving that way is normal I suppose,[/i]”[/b][/color] she said mockingly of his words. [color=fff79a][b]“A chance to tell someone of your ambition and survival is the only response you can give? We are all trying to survive, Blank, but some of us choose to make something better of this galaxy before we leave it. You may think you aren’t part of this problem, but you aren’t part of the solution.”[/b][/color]

Anari fearlessly stepped forward until she was within reach to grab—just as Blank was. Her stare didn’t waver from his face. Her body was motionless. They were both armed, but it wouldn’t be her that struck first. That was a choice he would have to make. 

[color=fff79a][b]“I don’t care about anyone else’s reason for joining your organization. I’m not talking to anyone else. I am talking to you,”[/b][/color] she said. [color=fff79a][b]“You choose not to feel anything for others because you want to survive. In some ways I understand that. What I don’t understand is how you can’t see that the people you aid are the people who cause those ten others to suffer. Have you really become so numb to the suffering that you can’t see your hand in it?”[/b][/color]
