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?

no subject
[ 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.
