[ This time it's Mithos that looks like he's been struck. He takes a step back and shakes his head, before he finds that his whole body is shaking from this. He clenches his fists. ]
Why are you being so stupid?! No one said anything about wanting you to die! Killing yourself wouldn't have done a damn thing except hurt everyone else around you! Why are you still failing to understand that people care about you here? If you had done that what do you think Eliza would have thought? She'd be alive, but she'd be hurt that all her efforts to help you were in vain. Is that something you wish would've happened instead?
[ He pauses and his face falls before he finds himself laughing a little. It's a cold, bitter laugh, and the words he says after are the same. ]
I can't forgive you Humans anymore. Yet ... I wish more were like you, Minato. If more Humans cared less about themselves maybe I wouldn't have lost ...
[ He stops talking. There's a silence before he lifts his head and looks at Minato with a neutral expression. Yet his eyes betray the expression as they're filled with nothing but sorrow. ]
But to care so little about yourself ... Without giving people a reason to stop caring first, wouldn't killing yourself be the cruelest thing you can do to their hearts? Do you think the people here would be able to take that?
cw: suicide talk yeah we'll stick with that
