(Flayn feels a little sick with herself for that thought, but she can't deny that she thinks it, for just a brief moment, and that the thought of the snake being wiped from existence isn't wholly unpleasant.)]
...do you think that it will? I keep thinking it over, but... truly, I do not know what our chances are.
[ Shinobu would have been fine if they did destroy each other. Some things, after all the suffering they've caused, should be wiped out. After every choice made is a result and a consequence, and creatures made of suffering, creatures who only want to cause cause suffering are better ended. ]
It accepted some of what was presented, so there's a fifty percent chance.
[ Those are not the greatest odds, but anything is better than zero. Shinobu isn't made of optimism, but she doesn't want to spend this night being all doom and gloom. ]
It depends on the child. [ ... ] Some lose the ability to be, after what they experience, but I think this misbehaving child we have to take care of is.
[ It's just snaby doesn't seem to be entertained for long. ]
But when you're young and don't know much of the world, everything is new and attention-catching.
[...it's like that when you're old and don't know much of the world, too! But Flayn won't say that out loud.]
So long as their attention is caught long enough for a way to prevent them from hurting other people...
[even if that means finding a way to, uh, kill their angst baby, it'll be fine, won't it? if the snaby's attention can be caught long enough, they can find some more permanent solution.
