["But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point --- I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you."
Hmmmm. Let's not use that argument I used in canon here, shall we?]
I do not consider it murder. But if one were to, you can see how it would cause hurt feelings.
This is the best way for me to try and get it . . . It's like if Silencchi, Song, and Symphony all fought one another in the same body until only one is left? Like for example, Song winning as the strongest personality and "consuming" the others into herself?
Of the three, one would have been the original, the source, from which the others were sheared. It would not be a manner of whom 'won'. But you are correct. The source would consume the others.
Yet you discount everything else. If Song was the source, would he not have a right to her lost memories, her lifespan, her abilities. What she was before? Once shattered, the original 'Song' is gone until all that was is restored.
But the others didn’t ask to be born like this either, Emecchi!!
[frustrated sound]
I mean, yeah, I already said I’d wanna do what I can if it meant fixing up a Kurokocchi who lost a part of himself! I get that! And it’s not like other people here haven’t killed people...
[His fists clenched tighter, remembering his own time when he killed Belial.]
Do not think I have not pondered the alternatives, carefully and considerately. I do not enjoy this path of bloodshed. But I will not abandon them. Their hopes. Their dreams. Their prayers.
For who would toil for them should I divert from this path?
But this way isn’t right! There’s gotta be better ways than that! I know you said you tried thinking alternatives already, but there’s no way there isn’t a different answer! Who wants to live knowing that someone had to die for them to do so? I mean, I definitely hate it.
Two options lay before you. Take the time to reflect. To ponder. I doubt the answers you seek will become apparent in the next few moments. It is a great deal to take in.
Should you find in the end that ignorance is truly bliss, then come to me. There is an ability on BARiTONES that would make you forget.
Then take the time to reflect. Allow me to change this to a more comfortable environment.
[He pulls back and raises his hand and snaps his fingers. The surroundings are Wildfire's school, his home, his world as much as he can remember from the details of watching those memories.]
Suddenly seeing his own home up close after everything that has happened in the past hour...no, in the past month, it just becomes overwhelming enough to make him buckle over and cry.
[Well, shit. He can't just portal yeet out of the area now.
He exchanges his Ascian robes for his BARiTONES garb with a mere thought (thank you dream powers) and kneels down next to him. He wraps his arms around him trying to provide some amount of comfort.]
[Wildfire’s pretty sure that the right thing to do would be to shove him away. Yell at him. Anything.
But he’s still selfish, immature, and maybe just plain terrified of the possibilities of the future, so he can’t help but still find comfort. How can this kindness be so sincere?
But he allows it this time, mostly cuz he’s too tired to think that hard.]

Emecchi . . . is this the "morally questionable in the most favorable lights" thing you mentioned back at that game? Or is that something else?
no subject
Oh, you remembered that. I'm impressed.
It is.

And your example is close.
Of the three, one would have been the original, the source, from which the others were sheared. It would not be a manner of whom 'won'. But you are correct. The source would consume the others.

But it’s definitely taking someone’s life away!
