It's not like she's going and scooping up innocent women and children or something...
Hell, even for that barbecue, it was people who wanted to wipe out our neighbors, man.
[He doesn't want to say they deserved it, but it's definitely implied.]
I know she's a mermaid, but she's not slippin. She's standing pretty firmly on her own two feet when she's got'em and a level head on her shoulders! She's not looking to hurt people for funsies, she's just looking to survive and protect her people. :/ Pleeeease you gotta have more faith in her than that.
Then you should have insisted harder! It's bad enough it had to happen at all, but to celebrate it?!
Do not get me wrong, I killed villains ALL THE TIME back home, but that was too far! You can't change my mind on that, I AM going to make sure it doesn't happen next time.
The other option would be to let their sacrifice be in vain, dude...
Plus I'd celebrate you if you sacrificed yourself to save your friends and family! It's literally what you do as a hero! You put your life on the line for the sake of others! That's what they were doing!
cw for suicide mentions now that I can't be as vague anymore oops
That isn't the same and you know it. You can justify it as much as you want, but I meant it, you can't change my mind. I won't stop her if she plans to do this again, but I will make sure the only humans involved are our enemies, not our friends. There were faces missing when I came back, Hanna. It hurt.
and dont think for a second that i dont hate that we couldn't stop them. or think that maya is happy that she's lost her friends and neighbors to this. but the only thing we could do was honor them the way we thought they should be honored after making that choice.
if you think you're convincing enough to talk people out of sacrificing themselves for god, then by all means give it a try, but you'd be surprised by the strength of some's devotion.
