[dying, and coming back, and dying again. the same thing every time. the same result, the same cycle, unable to be stopped even though he's supposed to-- he's supposed to be--
...it's not what it was back then, but it hits too close, eyes squeezed shut, fingers tangled a little tighter in midnight's hair out of reflex. he wants to ignore kaveh's words, but even if kaveh doesn't think this is the time to make netzach fulfill that promise... isn't agreeing with him or denying him still netzach's choice? in that sense, he is still either breaking or fulfilling that promise. what kaveh is asking him to do is exactly what he asked before. to choose midnight and to put him first.
in this case, to protect him and keep him alive. to spare him death at netzach's hands again.]
It won't please Midnight to watch either, will it?
[the subtle implication here being: if midnight says it would harm him to watch kaveh die, then is kaveh doing what he thinks he is?]
