Yeah, we had no choice but now we're living with it! All of us are!

[Zack lets her go, his wings opening up wide.]

If I had a choice I'd rip these damn things off. But they're a part of me now. And for now, it's better than being dead. This might be the only world some of us get.

[Lightning backs off the moment his wings open up, her nose wrinkling. If it were her, she might have already torn them from her back; the antlers she grew two months ago were a nuisance, and she's seen first-hand what extra limbs are capable of ruining. She isn't thankful for what she does have, though, and although she'd much rather be alive, she isn't dead yet, and she isn't going to die before she finishes what she started, if she has anything to say about it. She has a sister to bring back.

But... Zack's words give Lightning pause, and the wrinkle in her nose lessens. Something about how he words it makes her stomach turn.]

Is this the only world you get?

[Maybe that's why this is all such a sore spot for Zack. Seeing Lightning fight against the flow of these things gets under his skin so much and that's probably because she does have a world to go back to. The entirety of this world could be a joke to her, actually. Why else would she resist this much.]

Yeah. Back home I'm a dead man.

[Wow, that's blunt. He folds his wings back against his back and turns away.]

So some things about this world aren't so bad.
