“……Your head.”

I choked on my words.

It wasn’t the words of an actor who had ten different roles on a stage and was calculating everything. My emotions were swelling up.

“Raise your head.”

She did as I told her. Pure black eyes stared back at me.

“I ask you this. Why do you wish to make yourself an eternal piece of trash?”

“O Great Being, that is because I cherish myself to an insane degree.”

Her lips curved slightly.

“I cherish myself so much that I cannot lie to myself. I may one day think to myself like this: forcing Luke to die is a sin, but ‘it could not be helped’ for the sake of the village. I did nothing wrong.”
