[Oh. He knew that Nico would outlive his mortal friends due to having a vampire's lifespan, but losing them to conflict, war, and/or oppression?

That's far worse. Far more heart-wrenching.]

...Hard, isn't it. The suddenness of it all.

[crimsin]

It is. It is one thing to expect a human to grow old, but…

[ His gaze finds something innocuous to focus on, the menus they’ve left scattered on the table. ]

I hope it is worth it, in the end.

[reverso]

[All that death, all that sacrifice. Was it worth it? The cycle has ended in a way that no one expected, but it's debatable if it was kind to anyone other than himself.]

To be free? Is that not always worth it?

[crimsin]

[ He laughs a little, and for once, the sound is more sad than it is happy. ]

You are right, of course. It is just… difficult to watch, sometimes.

[reverso]

[...He gets it.]

I'm sorry, Nico. How is that fight faring in your world, now?

[crimsin]

As you can imagine, change is not easy to come by.
