If I am protecting the world from... myself, and I continue to exist for that purpose along with the others, then it's another day that I still care to protect.
...Rook did nothing I am not capable of, Akira. He just enjoyed it more. So yes. I find it reassuring.
[As for the next part, Tiernan waves it away with a light huff and a vaguely amused sound.]
I promise I am entirely capable of feeling pleasure and have done so as recently as yesterday. More seriously, my emotions are less severe, more controllable, but you if anyone know they certainly exist. I'm detached, not absent.
[Tiernan settles next to Akira, listening. He gives a quiet sigh and rests his chin on curled knuckles.]
No one told you about the other timeline, did they? The one that was undone as part of the last game. The Foundation killed Nicholas in it. And I destroyed them for it. That is how much I care, and why it is so dangerous. I would do the same for my children, for Lucifer, and for you.
