Sometimes protecting us necessitates protecting Existence. But it doesn't have to. He doesn't go to a lot of battles.
I’d much prefer that, honestly. Any amount of compromise is better than nothing.

When your internet is out, you ponder why you spend so much time on it. When it comes back again, you ignore any deep, profound discoveries you make about it taking up time and go right back to it.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>
My dad says that his priorities are us, then the Earth, then Existence. If protecting the latter would stop him from protecting the former, then it's not worth protecting.
I suppose they have opposite philosophies then. For mine, it’s, “If there’s no Existence for us to live in, what good do my efforts do on Earth?” Earth being metaphorical, here.

I like that. That's how we were raised.
I can’t protect Isaac, or Dad, or Ruby, or Techi or anyone from what they want, though. I can’t stop anyone from fighting the good fight for all of Existence, even though I wish I could.

What do you care about enough to protect?
Family and friends are all that really matter to me that much. I’d never let anything happen to you guys.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>
Oh...
*Places my hands next to me in the sand*
Yeah, you're right. I think that when someone tries to carry the weight of the world, it ends up being too much. If everyone protected what they really cared about, we might all be a lot better off.
Exactly. Then, people would overstep their boundaries less, and there would be far less conflict. But it was my choice, that’d be the world we live in.

What do you mean?
No matter what happens, all the people I care about will still put their lives on the line for everyone else when they don’t have to. And one day, there won’t be a miracle quite like today’s when something happens.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>
Then not much will change in that regard.
Sadly...
*Sighs*
That’s the worst part about the whole thing, from where I stand.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>
Do you still hate danger?
It was never danger that I hated specifically. I hate fighting. And I hate when people I care about are in danger because they took on too much responsibility... But yeah, I do.
<Snipped quote by Intrepid>
After all of the... "craziness" has worn off, what do you think you'll do?
I won’t do too much different from what I did before, I suppose. I do have to figure out exactly what I’m all about now. I don’t want to accidentally do something dangerous and hurt someone because I didn’t know what I was doing.

*Looks into the sky*
Hey Vi, if it means anything, I really do like your new look.
*Smiles, and plays with the sand with my finger*
Thanks, Rhythm. That means quite a lot, actually.
