Coup de Grace

"You shouldn't even be having this idea. Even if I'm dead, you should keep going," Himmel Soan said seriously.

Seeing that Firey wanted to retort, he knew she didn't agree with her. His tone softened. "If a person is remembered after they're dead, their life would mean something. Otherwise, they're completely gone.

"It's the same with me. When I'm dead, you're there to remember me. You're the proof of my existence. If you're dead, no one would know I've ever been here."

The speech was too profound for Firey to understand. She couldn't fathom philosophical theories.

"Just remember. Even if I'm dead, you must live on. Or else, I'll never rest in peace.

"That's not all. Do you remember what I told you about dignity? You shouldn't be kneeling before anyone, yet you begged him on your knees because you wanted to die. I feel so ashamed of you."
