>Focus on Beatrix. She can't exist if you give up on Bri.
Except… she still can, can’t she? Either through surrogate or… you know, seeing as Krotos was Xuv first choice… maybe he got the same blessing as you do?
>Xuv only opened the way for you. The rest of what happened was all you.
…maybe it was. Maybe you truly do love her…
>...But you know that she is her own person, and if in the end her love was really for Krotos then you will accept it.
Love her enough to let her go even…
>Love is not just an emotion. It is a choice, shown in actions. Actions you actually took in the other timeline.
You did so much for each other… endured so much… sacrificed so much…
>When the mental influence waned in the other timeline, you chose to keep loving her and work toward making things work…
You did, didn’t you… you never did give up on her… and neither did she give up on you.
>Go see Belseth. See if he's super mad at you or something.
Part of you really wants to just leave all this and go see Belseth instead… but you get a feeling that in doing so you’ll… close some doors to open others…
>He is not Briannah. She is who you saw your future with. Who you saw having children and raising a family with. The one you'd stand by through thick and thin, and her by you.
You did… yet… weren’t many of those fantasies conceived by a mind seeking something impossible?
>Yep. All the chemical processes in your brain were flooded, and now your subconscious is compensating to justify your overwhelming emotions, which aren't there anymore because of the temporal collapse wavefunction.
…you… what? You guess it can be some kind of aftereffect from what Xuv did but… um…?
>Marry a body pillow of your waifu Briannah. Life will find a way, remember?
…you’d like to believe you love her for more than just her visage.
>Spend some time, all three of you, looking through that book.
Huh… it seems to be written from… my perspective? It’s start with a nightmare I had a few days ago… err… in the dream, I mean.
Wait, I can’t remember the dream lasting that long.
Really? I mean… you was kind of dead by that point so…
What was the last thing yah remember?
I remember… being furious… someone had betrayed me… and was trying to kill father. Then… there was an assassin that I bested and… um… I was attacked by… something… something inhuman, some kind of monster… and I felt how it toke control over my body, turning me into a puppet… and then I woke up screaming.
Aw, yah poor thing. Come ‘ere.
Briannah lifts your brother up and embraces him while licking the top of his head lovingly.
…
I wish I could ‘ug both of yah like this… but yah’ll just ‘ave to wait, Kronos…
Don’t fret, brother...
It’s… fine… but going back to the bo-
Wait, so yah didn’t remember ‘ow yah died? Or when yah attacked the Zadian military summit?
Err… no, I don’t? I remember I was planning on attacking that summit and take everyone there hostage but… wait, how did I die in the dream? What did I do after my dream ended?
Oh, it’s not important.
…it isn’t?
Nope. Hey, do you remember that one time when were in the mountains…
Hmm? Oh right… when we built that snow couple… yeah, I remember that… and that night as well…
That’s right… those were the times…
>Love is not just an emotion. It is a choice, shown in actions…
Each lick feels like a dagger piercing your heart…
I-
Or the time we “borrowed” those raptors and went for a ride through the wilds?
I still remember when we saw that wild wyvern fly over us…
And-
Why, we rode after it as fast as we could…
*Sigh* but in the end it got away…
>...But you know that she is her own person, and if in the end her love was really for Krotos then you will accept it.
Each embrace feels soul crushing…
…
OH! And that time we crashed that performance? You had to dress up in full custom to make sure no one noticed that you were Varkian. Why, the scandal if they knew…
Ah, yes, that! How did that song go again? “Something something yes you can?”
…
“Take my hand, won’t you understand… yes you can…”
“How did you get so fine… lose my mind….” Yeah, I remember…
>Point out that, according to the book and what Life told you, you can father Bri's children.
You can…? That sounds… well, I would say implausible, but with everything else that’s been happening…
I wonder if that includes Krotos as well? I always wanted to have children of my own…
Really?
I always dreamed of finding the perfect ‘ubby whom I loved more than anything and start a family with ‘im…
I-
Well, if the dream say it’s possible…
B-
We can always try and ‘ope for the best, eh Krotos?
