[ from experience? badly. but he's not gonna say that. he rubs the back of his neck a bit ]
... I dunno. I guess I prefer not to. [ that's another way to say badly while also, at the same time, being a non-answer. ] I think it depends on the circumstances. Never really gave it that much thought.
[ Preferring not to is very reasonable, and is the answer most people would lean towards even if they don't admit it out loud, Minato thinks. He can be the same way, with his 14 hour naps. ]
I guess it's not really something people should have to give thought to... I asked because I don't know what to do with myself right now. Lune said to rest. I don't know if I can.
[ that's ... relatable, really. axel frowns a bit, looking to the side]
Honestly... I've been going around, trying to figure out what's gonna happen tomorrow. I've got a hard time just lying back and waiting. And it sounds like you're the same.
[ he heaves out a sigh ]
It makes me antsy, not knowing anything and not being able to do anything about it.
[ If it were him of a year ago, it wouldn't be so difficult to just turn around in bed and go back to sleep, believing that none of this involves him and none of this affects him. It's really too bad he's gotten the character development that makes him want to do more- anything he can for the sake of others- because anything he does will be just wasting time and energy spinning his wheels in place, with nothing to go off of.
Frustrating is an understatement. ]
Yeah, tomorrow... we're supposed to all come together and figure things out. But I dunno why we couldn't just start today...
[ Maybe because it's kinder to give people the time to cool off and gather themselves, to face a new day with a fresh mind, as Lune had told Minato. Doesn't change the fact that he's still antsy, that this isn't something he can fight or talk his way out of. ]
I dunno. I don't think... that was entirely their choice.
[ those shadow hands that came up to stop them from talking... Axel's worried about what those could possibly mean. ]
Something's making us play by some kind of messed up rules, and I don't like that we don't know what those are. I think we've got our work cut out for us.
[ Yeah, the shadow hands really doesn't help the void face theory, and the other one that's starting to be a sinking thought of the cloaks being something of a prison, rather than comfort. What's behind those hoods...? ]
Sol said the "universe" brought us here. The universe... isn't good or bad. [ He looks up at Axel. ] Right?
[ Even if it were a conscious entity, something as- well, universal as the universe can't be good or evil. There's an ebb and flow to these things, a karmic cycle, something that's not purposely going against them. That's the sort of universe he wants to believe in. ]
[ Axel's not sure he knows what the universe is, in this instance, but he still nods at Minato's statement. ]
It's not. [ he didn't always necessary feel that way, but his existential issues as a Nobody are in the past now. for the most part. so. ] I don't even know that the "darkness" they talk about is one or the other, either.
[ he's not sure that anything necessarily fully fits that dichotomy, but moral quandaries can wait. he thinks, immediately following it by a minor one: ]
If the "universe" is the thing dictating how this'll play out... I wonder what its reasoning could possibly be.
[ It's a simple, hypothetical question, but whether or not it's minor may be up for debate. At least for Minato, the question makes him frown slightly in thought, and he poses one of his own: ]
Do you think people need a concrete reason to do things, or can they just do what they feel like?

[ which isn't an answer, but. ]
When it comes to reasons... people are a lot more complicated.
no subject
Yeah... At the very least, though, we can talk to people, even if the universe stays silent.
