Anemone From the Greek anemōnē, "daughter of thew ind." The Anemoi were four wind gods in Greek mythology. Protection against evil or ill wishes. Red: Death or forsaken love
[it's fine i'm debating what of aerith's terrible lore to inflict on him so actually if you have a choice you tell me.
she means it both ways, in theory, but she's not outright asking because she's figured with someone like kanda it's easier to ask an open-ended question and let him pick how he wants to answer it. she does frown slightly at the notion of not being sure how much time is left, but that seems to be the story for so many people right now.
why are so many of you weirdly soupbrained, god!!!!!!]
Little concerning to hear, you know. [a light comment.] I'm sure you can. I don't doubt you're more than capable of figuring things out. But...I guess I just hope it's not all up to you. You're not in major trouble right now, are you?
After this? Unless we lost the war while I was gone, I'm going back to the Order. [He'd t̶o̴l̷d̷ ̴A̸l̵l̵e̶n̴ ̷w̸h̶a̸t̵ ̷h̶e̴ ̵n̷e̷e̸d̷e̵d̸ ̴t̵o̷, after all. All he can do now is trust him to pull through. If he doesn't... well. Kanda has a debt to repay. He won't leave Allen trapped in his own body. But that's not something he needs to do right away, so--] I'm still an exorcist.
[As long as the war goes on, there will be Innocence to find, and Akuma to fight. It's what he'll do until he dies, probably. (He doesn't know that he's going to become a general soon oops.)]
It's not a big deal. Most people go their whole lives without ever knowing it's even happening.
[No she's right DGM-world sucks. But unfortunately he and Lavi aren't the sorts to go world-hopping somewhere else, so... it's what they've got. Kanda doesn't know anything different anyway.]
Because people like Exorcists are busy doing everything they can to do damage control? [that's an assumption, but.] ...I think I understand. It's something only you guys can really do, and so...there's no other option. Even when it can mean terrible things for you. I guess I just wish that wasn't the case.
[they're both still young, and she doesn't think it should just be about a life bound to the order, but she also knows she can't say anything to change his mind. so instead, he gets to see another example of doing something even if it hurts you (01:17:16:17.) the video seems strange because she's both alive and not, but that's because things are. happening. the end result is aerith being dead regardless. wahoo. gives kanda something emotional he might not know what to do with.]
[Well, it's not like she's wrong. He wishes it wasn't the case too. And sometimes he wonders if he shouldn't have died in that cave three months ago, freed from the fate of the world and all the horrors that come along with being made to save it. But... in the end, Kanda chose life. He's always chosen life.
Which makes this memory interesting, actually, even though she doesn't have the full context. There are a lot of emotions, yes, but truthfully, there's so much of everything happening that he can't even really :man_standing: awkwardly about it.
After a minute:]
Why are you worrying about other people. [GIRL YOU'RE DEAD WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF!!!!]
[it's an age-old question. which is better, to life and to suffer knowing you're still alive and have a chance to do something, or to die and escape the horrors? it isn't like there's an easy answer either way.
also that is fair, she's actually looking a little surprised this showed up because nobody else has seen this. so she's frowning a little.]
Can I not worry about other people? [she's dead! what else is she supposed to do!!]

But he shakes his head.]
Not me. He's the problem.
["What about your arms Kanda" well listen Hoshino wrote him out of the story again so we won't know for another 8 years what's going on there]
no subject
she frowns a little to that though.]
...so what are you going to do?

And how long has this war been going on, exactly? Guessing there's no chance of an ending anytime soon either...
no subject
Over 7,000 years.
[So
Maybe! But probably not.]

...every time I learn something new about where you two are from I worry even more about both of you.
