I think you're expecting me to think a lot harder about how I word things than I actually do...

You're certainly cagey enough for it.
[He sighs.]
Still, the point is...
You're allowed to feel the way you do. Even doing things for survival. Sometimes doing things, even if it doesn't change the situation...still matters if it helps.

I know. But saying things out loud isn't one of those, for me.

Maybe. But being willing to voice it....
Maybe people will give you options.
Sometimes it takes other people to think there's options. Like when Hermes saved you.
Not always. Maybe not even most of the time.
But sometimes....

Can you think of another option here, then?

There's always plenty of work to do in winter.
Maybe there isn't another option.
But it doesn't necessarily hurt to ask. Sometimes people surprise you.

We can serve a unique role in their society as "heretics," so I assume that's why they don't really want to offer alternatives.

What do they even do if you refuse?

You fend for yourself in the snow. So... either death by starvation, or freezing.

So against mercy killing, but good assigning death to people.
How lovely.

Is that surprising to you?

So? Do you want to do it tomorrow, or should I?

No, but it doesn't make me any less disgusted with them.
....I'll do it.
Not going to put it all on you.
[And this is a weird...not-real space. So it doesn't REALLY mean anything if he kills someone.]
[But maybe it means something to Kino.]

There's weariness that shadows their eyes, but at that moment...
...Just a little. It eases things, just a little.

...I see.
Thank you.

And then...
There was the sound of a roll of film ending. And beyond it lay...
