Nor mine. But I don't want to let the cult win. If nothing else, we must preserve for that.
Someone once told me that the most important thing in life is to protect those you love, but failing that, vengeance is a decent second goal. [and this was delilah so you should listen to her words of wisdom.]
[a bit wistful. she does have a nasty temper, wanting to lash out at anyone who hurts her, but after it ebbs she always feels like she lost a part of herself.]
But not letting them have their victory at out expense, even if we must claw and drag our way to the end bleeding, sounds right to me.

I wish we could too. [she rubs at her face.] Gods, there's really nothing to be done about it. We just keep marching until we die.
This isn't exactly how I wanted to spend the rest of my life.

Hah. Guess that's not a bad outlook. [...] I wouldn't say revenge even feels all that good, but you've got to do what you've got to do, sometimes.
