...Where I come from, we believe the dead can't rest if they've got unfinished business. It might or might not surprise you that there's evidence to support that bit of superstition, though who of us can say how it is for all worlds?
[ The grim determination that the end is inevitable, that Oblivion only waits if they don't end these lives by their own hands, is something Yuri can't begin to connect with. It's clear this man genuinely believes it, but what if it's the opposite?
What if the act of killing is what brings that entropy? They don't even know whether their own worlds are truly gone — they're words without proof, without sight. Yuri is a man possessed of faith, but not in destruction. ]
You're right that these moments aren't mine and aren't yours. We don't know their will — and we can't know which choice would consign them to Oblivion. It's a hard sell for anyone who doesn't assume the same things as you, yeah? One man's mercy is another's murder.
