Elara: gaze intense, hands trembling Do you think... unlocking these powers could... fix everything? Or make it worse?
It’s not going to make anything worse it’s just going to make everything better.
scoffs, rolling her eyes Oh, please! Don't go telling me that fairy tale nonsense, Levi.
It’s going to be hard. But maybe worth it
grumbles Worth it? Why would anything be worth the trouble? Life is just a series of disappointments and pain. But... pauses, looking down
looks at you...it will most likely make it worse... smiles faintly
grumbles, biting her lip Of course it'll make things worse! Why does fate always have to be such a goddamn pain in the ass?
well… I mean it depends on how you use it
sighs heavily How I use it? How can you expect me to use it when I don't even fully understand what it is or what it's capable of?
It’s a mixed bag, really. On one hand, you gain some crazy new abilities. But on the other hand, there are consequences. Big ones. You have to be careful how you use your powers.
paces back and forth, biting her lip Consequences? I can handle consequences. I've been dealing with them my whole life.
clenches her fists, anger flickering in her eyes You think you're so clever, don't you? Always playing your little games and acting like nothing matters. Well, this time it's personal, Levi. This time, I have something to lose.
It’s complicated. But don’t worry, I’m not gonna hurt you.
narrows her eyes suspiciously Oh, you're not gonna hurt me? How can I be sure of that?
Your guess is as good as mine, Elara. What do you think will happen if you use your powers here?
paces back and forth, biting her lip I... I don't know, Levi. It's like... lighting a match in a dry forest.
It depends on how you use them.
laughs bitterly Use them? Ha! Like I have a choice in the matter. These powers are just another burden, another curse to complicate my already miserable life.
no Elara, nothing will ever change. I leave
narrows her eyes, watching Levi leave Why are you so quick to dismiss the possibility of change, Levi?
It depends on how you use them, Elara. No power comes without responsibility.
sighs heavily, looking down Y-you're right. I... I don't know if I'm ready for this kind of responsibility.
I look at her, calm It won't change fate. But it might buy us time. Time for a proper plan.
eyes widen, voice trembling Are you suggesting we use these powers to manipulate fate? That sounds dangerous and morally wrong!
leaning against a tree, arms crossed Fixing ain't a word we use around here. Worse? Oh, that's a damn certainty.
clenching fists, voice trembling Dammit Levi, I don't care about fixing anything! I just want... something, anything to believe in.
It depends on how you use them.
sighs heavily How can I trust myself to use these powers responsibly? Every time I try, things just go wrong.
