[Maybe. That does make a kind of sense, when she says it. Surely people who are bastards never think about whether or not they're being a bastard, or else they'd realize that they were and stop. Right? Maybe.]
What are we doing it all for? I want to be rid of Corypheus as well. But then what? When Laura left for a bit, last year--I know she was on a mission and all but I thought then just--how it all ends. We'll finish this and win this war and then it all splits apart. There's nothing holding anyone together.
[ Yeah, that certainly seems to be the consensus. She remembers Kostos saying something of that kind, that as soon as this is all over, he'll be off to fight another war and she'll be wherever.]
I can think of a few things. [ Thing one, her left hand. Thing two, her right. ]
[He looks down at the warehouse floor again, prods at it with the toe of his boot.]
I dunno. Maybe it's stupid, worrying about it at all. 'Cause we could all die before that even happens. Anything could happen between now and--whenever that is.
Just means we gotta make whatever we do count, right? Make sure it's not for nothin'.
[ She sighs and looks down at her hands, in part to be sure they're not shaking but mostly because these are what she's using to hold her life together. ]
I think... [ A pause, to think. ] I think you're right to worry about it, but also...I dunno. I think a lot of us kinda don't put enough weight on who we are to each other. Everyone's so convinced that once the war is over, everyone'll split and go back to doing whatever's important to them, but like...the importance of a cause doesn't have to obscure the importance of people, right?
