	Call it personal experience... Anyway, that still doesn't mean you aren't making some wrong conclusions... Don't decide just yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Deciding to go with... [shrug...] Maybe we can convince him not to go through with it, maybe not... But when you say you'll go with him... 'cause he cares about you, it has the effect of holding yourself hostage, which I know isn't what you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would prefer to find another way entirely, yes. But if he won't listen, then I should let him go alone instead? What about what that will do to the rest of the team? Maybe it will upset him if I go, but... standing idly by and allowing those I care for to be hurt is not something that I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think more people from our team going will put the rest of us more at ease. What's more likely to happen is everyone will want to follow... Cepheus has always been bad about that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

If this plan goes though, there's merit to making sure everyone takes every precaution they can and... if he still decides to go, letting him be Cepheus' only representative... 'Cause pretty much what he needs is support and faith from us that he can do this, and what this team needs is having as few people in a dangerous situation as possible.

Haah... Well, maybe it's against your very nature or whatever and I'm just saying something useless, but I think sometimes more good is done by staying back, basically...

	You saw Red. You can't tell me that he would be okay if Claude went. Do you think he should go, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well you can't tell me he wouldn't freak out even more if you follow and just decide, "may as well go with, since half the people I care about are doomed anyway." For the record my personal opinion is that it's not 100% guaranteed doom, just very high probability of it... I'm pretty much imagining the dangerousness of Mirror's heart will increase exponentially with however many members of her target teams go in, so better if Claude stays out.

	What do you mean by "target teams"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ EXPOSITION, BONUS SEGMENT ] fill_the_blanks 2011-11-09 06:22 am UTC (link)
	Mirror has some teams she specifically likes to target when it comes to causing blanks harm. Cepheus and Lacerta are two of them. That's kind of why Red's as bad off as he is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ EXPOSITION, BONUS SEGMENT ] fill_the_blanks 2011-11-09 06:29 am UTC (link)
	I don't know him as well as Syaoran and Red do... [shrug] My impression is that there're a lot of other people important to him involved, and aside from that... he feels a sense of responsibility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...sighs] He would be going with others whose main focus was to break Mirror. They aren't there to ensure that he comes back in one piece. Why do you feel so strongly that he can go but I should not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think that means someone won't make sure no one gets mind-fucked along the way... Or if they don't have someone reasonable like that I'd rather grab someone from a team less likely to get targeted by Mirror if she notices...

I just feel strongly that you shouldn't go just to watch over him, because this "follow each other into danger" thing happens enough on this team and usually just sort of tears everyone up. I'm not saying he should go either, but I'm talking to you right now, addressing your reason for going in the scenario where he does go. [rubs his shoulder...] I don't want you to, whatever he chooses.
