[video] late at night enough that the mask slips, for a moment

[maddest]

I would never wish for anyone to be forced to stay here, but I mourn for their loss all the same.

Human selfishness again.

There is a school of thought that says certain types of selfishness are good.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a bad school.

[thelightbringer]

Well I know you don't prefer the school of martyrs and self-sacrifice.

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I could make you some tea if we have some.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes. Then maybe you could introduce me properly to our new houseguest?

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

Sure! His name's Jet. I'm sorry no one did. I'll be right down!

[He shuts off the feed and heads to the kitchen and starts working on tea, without bending oh noes!]

Is it selfish to miss someone?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes, if they're somewhere better.

[daath-vader.livejournal.com]

That doesn't seem right, though. That it's selfish.

[He's thinking of how Killua lost Gon from this place twice, his expression every time he mentions him...]

I don't think it's selfish, necessarily. You care about said person enough to feel their loss.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You cannot feel loss.

[video]

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

...
...You can mourn their absence.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Is it only human? The death gods have mourned.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Have they? Perhaps they have human seeds.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I believe they do.

[video]

[hardcorecute.livejournal.com]

Me too.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Who are you missing tonight?

[bunny_flower]

We are allowed to be selfish every once in a while, Break-san.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Who says?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Everyone's inherently selfish. Some are just better at admitting to it.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Do you believe that too?

[video]

[unreadability]

And therefore, many of our noblest actions are founded on a note of egoism.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well, everyone likes to seem noble.

[saucey]

Nothing wrong with it every once in a while.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

It feels a little silly!
