Ah, but you see... that's where you're wrong, little Ikuri.
Choice is ALWAYS stronger.
It's why demons prey on mortals.
It's why fae fear mortals.
It's why the restless dead long for the life of the living.
I don't trust you in the slightest. I don't trust anyone here. And yet... I CHOOSE to help you. To help everyone. In spite of what truth dictates I should do.
And you wouldn't think to call me weak, would you?
[He gives her a teasing, warm, and yet very powerful grin. He knows his strengths, he knows his weaknesses, and he's asking Ikuri what she thinks.]
The weak are those that cannot change their path. Those that don't even try. Fate never bends to the whims of those souls. Choice is the option to defy fate. To tell the universe how things are going to happen, and to make the universe listen.
If you're evil... Then you're evil. But what of it? If you need to kill, then by all means, kill. But CHOOSE to kill. CHOOSE to be evil. Or choose to be good.
The only thing holding you back... is what you let yourself be. You can fall into old habits, old routines, old nightmares... Or you can look at those things, and say "No. We're not doing this the way you say to. We're doing this MY way."
Ask yourself, Ikuri.. wouldn't it be easier if I looked at you, and dealt with you as you would expect me to? Do you think I couldn't do it?
