...I can't imagine.

[It really isn't fair at all. He can understand that pain and anger. However, right now it's him who needs to be that shoulder.]

It's time to get angry...and to cry if you need to.

[ the corner of her mouth quirks up for a second. ]

... I got most of it out of my system earlier. I think? I don't know, it's... [ her hands tense a little. ] It's a lot.

... And I found out what really happened. When I sealed Nyx. I think I already knew some of it, on some level, just...

[Come on Minato...don't you just want to go apeshit? Hen tentatively puts a hand on hers and nods, before releasing it. A sort of silent 'I've got your back'.]

It really sounds like a lot.

[Just...]

Talk about it, if you like. That's why we're here.

[ she nods at that, looking down at her coffee. ]

... The Seal wasn't to trap Nyx. I said before how... Nyx wasn't really evil, just answering what people wanted, right? Well... apparently, there's another Shadow called Erebus, made from humanity's despair. And if it reaches Nyx, the Fall comes. And as long as the Seal's there, that won't happen, but...

[ she grasps ren's wrist, taking his hand back. ]

... I didn't just make the Seal, Ren. I am the Seal.

[It is a lot to take in and he is silent for a few seconds, just letting their hands touch in silence. He looks angry, but also sad for her.]

I'm sorry. [Having the entire world on her shoulders. Literally.] No one deserves that.

[And yet, he knows.

He knows if he was in her shoes, he would have ended up doing the same.]

[ she cracks a weak smile. the sympathy, the agreement at how unfair it is--it helps. it's something, anyway. ]

I guess just dying for the world isn't enough, huh? [ it fades. ] ... Yukari didn't want to tell me. And I was... I knew there was something, but I didn't want to ask for a while, you know?

I can understand why she didn't want to tell you...it must have been hard for her too.

[...]

Humanity's despair...I never met Erebus but I do know people wanted to be controlled. That's how Yaldabaoth gained its power.

Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing. About the feelings that caused Yaldabaoth. I know it's not totally the same, but it's coming from the same place, right? Despair, giving up...

I don't know. I guess it's not my problem anymore, right?

[There's a small, bittersweet smile on his lips.]

No. That's ours.

[He takes a small sip from his coffee before adding;]

I know it's not exactly the best answer because I'm not sure what I'd do if I knew your fate. But this world is giving you an opportunity. You can be who you want. Discover who you really are. Be yourself as much as you like. No Velvet Room or Igor to tell us what needs to be done.

[He doesn't know if that helps, but it's worth a try.]
