[which isn't, like, justification for her potentially not giving a damn. agni, who has cared about human lives when the other gods wouldn't, is the last person who'd say, "well, it's not a big enough scope, so boohoo."
but also brilith is very difficult to deal with.

Though she's never had to deal with other universes before, so I can't say one way or another how it might change things.
... And part of why she prefers death is to forget, but it doesn't sound like that'll be the case here. So... that might help to dissuade her.

[I mean, it's not wrong that even the entirety of the Burnish is a small scale. That's the end goal of any genocide. Lio has to think about it for a minute, arms crossed, pacing in a little circle - he isn't really . . . angry at-- Agni? Babo Kim? Whatever name he prefers now. He's just frustrated.]
No-- I . . . don't think you forget. They're still somewhere here. Trapped, like us.
And, to think of what will happen in the long run. Regardless of what happens to us, if we don't figure out what's going on, there's nothing to stop this place from taking others in the future.
If it takes certain people, then it really could place entire universes in danger. Ours, especially.
I don't understand any of this. I won't try to pretend to understand your lifespan, or Brilith's, or the workings of this place. We just can't give up right now.
[He starts to walk away before he turns back around, arms crossed. He's not very emotionally intelligent, it's taken him a while to get to this point at all.]
[tbh he's fine with either? there've been people who're like WOW YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR NAME but babo kim is actually more of a nickname than a fake name, so.

. . . What about you? Do you feel the same?

Hoping to burn out.

... I am the fire of my universe, Lio. It doesn't matter how I feel—I have a duty to remain in the world, no matter what.
[such is the nature of being one of the highest gods.]

Do not let it go out.
[That's like, a super mean way to say "please do not die."]

You as well, Lio.
