Yeah. It's kind of funny, actually. If I got a wish, I was going to ask to live. That wound... I thought it meant my brother had killed me.
... What I forgot was that we both died that day. Instead of playing by their game, we'd decided to escape to another world and live on together—but things didn't work out that way. He was killed, and I was still bleeding out, so... I made a decision for myself, for the first time.
[he remembers now. why, he doesn't know for sure, but... there's really only one thing he's done differently here than others, isn't there?]
I chose to abdicate the throne and die with him.
So, you don't need to feel bad about this. I'm already dead, and I don't need any wishes this place can give me. I already made one on the Amaranthine.
