Alluka hadn't been the first tell her such a thing. The fox and even a mental version of her sister had told her as much, to live, even when she didn't feel like doing so at times. Her plan certainly didn't count on her making it out alive in her battle with Zero, even if she achieved victory. It was all to wipe out the flower.

But the flower wasn't here. Not even her sisters were. It was just One versus all of the guilt.

One can't help but chuckle, closing her eyes. "It's certainly what I'm trying to do now. Grief is a powerful thing, but I doubt my family would prefer I do nothing."

And accomplishing nothing in the library had been her biggest failure, months spent grieving each sister lost and her plans coming to ruin. Repeating it and drowning in despair, she couldn't afford to do it again.
