It was the first one that came to mind.

[ this feels like a trick question, but...well he's been told he takes things too seriously before. maybe this is the same. still... ]

Why?

[galling]

[ wow, see if he's ever serious again. ]

we all gotta believe in something

i don't think i've ever really sat down and asked you what you've invested your faith in

[ or... he... has... and maybe he forgot, or is just conveniently bypassing the fact he hasn't. ]

or maybe you've never really put a name to it

[unequally]

[ ever serious again**** fixed it. ]

I don't think 'conviction' and 'faith' are the same.

[ but if he had to answer re: faith, he'd say he...doesn't have any, honestly. not really. and he can't imagine gojou actually is genuinely curious, but if he is there has to be a reason, and megumi would rather know that reason before giving his own answer, which very possibly leaves them stalemated. slightly. maybe. ]

[galling]

[ excuse me, princess!! ]

brat, we can argue semantics all you want until we're black and blue in the face, but the meaning remains the same in the end

then again! it's fine to live selfishly, illogically, or even driven by the tides of impulse... you saved yuuji back then because of that, right? you're a kid that thinks that good people shouldn't die

[ yuuji probably shared it with him, suddenly, in the midst of some stupid b-horror movie, watching someone stupid make some stupid decision that ultimately made him die a stupid death. fushiguro-kun... is a really good guy, huh? ]

but in the end, someone's going to ask you again why you're fighting so hard, and you're going to end up questioning yourself if that's really all there is to it

and at that point, you're either going to keep fighting, or give up altogether

so?

[unequally]

[ :) ]

'So' what?
You already said it. I think good people deserve chances over bad people.
Are you saying I'll need to defend myself?
If not, I don't see the point of this.

[ though it's not out of line or out of imagination: the idea that each and every jujutsushi on the whim of political convenience could go from being unofficial government deployments to criminals.

he supposes if that happened though no one would be interested in reasons anyway. witch hunts don't tend to. ]

[galling]

nah, no one else really gives a shit about your motives

[ most of the time. but no one's nitpicking if they know what's good for them. ]

except for yourself, anyway

you're going to ask yourself if it's even worth it, and if you don't give the right answer, you're going to die

[unequally]

Why would I do it in the first place if it's not worth it?

[galling]

you're like twelve years old, don't backsass me

[unequally]

I don't have any other answer though.

[galling]

ah well

you're young, you've got some time to think it over

but if you do give up in the middle, don't expect one of us will always be around to bail you out

[unequally]

I'm not asking anyone to "bail" me out.

[ for all that he's a dog person, megumi's hackles are raised like an offended cat's. ]

[galling]

when i said we die alone, i didn't say anything about living alone

[unequally]

I live in a school.

[ if a text can be deadpan... ]

[galling]

[ the Audacity, honestly ]

are we going to take this time to air out your grievances, or should i just send a comment card to your email

[unequally]

[ and yet, the Reprise... ]

I don't really see the point either way.

[galling]

megumiiii

didn't you know? you keep being such a grump grump, your hair will turn white before you're twenty

just look at what happened to me!!

[unequally]

[ ✓ READ ]

[ he somehow thinks if gojou is the example then he doesn't have to worry but also he doesn't know how to reply to that. he can't even figure out the point of the conversation anymore, supposing gojou had one..... ]

[galling]

then! what about a hypothetical?

let's say you save her, and she tells you to stop being a sorcerer

[unequally]

Why are you asking me this?

[galling]

why aren't you answering?

[unequally]

I don't have an answer.

[galling]

because you don't even want to think about it?

ah... the joys of being young and ignorant...

[unequally]

Because I don't know.

[galling]

ah

really?

[unequally]

Right now, without hearing it from her, I think I would say: I promised to do this and can't quit. It's my responsibility.

But I don't know what it would be like for her to ask me.

[ how it would feel, if it would change something for him -- free him instead of bind him -- or indeed if he even could deserve that (probably not.) ]
