[ ookurikara nods. that's good. as much as beau dislikes him, he'd rather not condemn someone without knowing.
that said. ]
As long as it isn't Lili tomorrow, I will fight to live. I won't give in until one of us breaks.
[ still, he hesitates. ]
...I would have asked Dimitri.
[ except that he is, you know, dead. the one ookurikara is being sent to death for, as if he'd ever raise his blade against him. it would be funny, if it weren't quite so awful. ]
If I break tomorrow... Take care of Lili. Make sure she gets through this.
... It'd be this place's sense of humour to do that. But... I'll hope it isn't. [ anyone else and he'd say she'd have a fighting chance, right down to the wire. but not facing off against kara. ]
...
She's stronger than this. You're allowed to trip and fall whenever, the big thing is whether you get back up and keep going again afterward.
She will.
[ ... ]
But I'll give her a push to get her started, if she needs it.
[ he nods. that sounds right. lili would never give up completely, but after all she's lost, and all that she still stands to lose, ookurikara expects that it will be harder this time than it's ever been. ]

That's all I can ask.

[ he snorts. ]
But you didn't have to ask in the first place. I'm not enough of a jerk to leave her alone if she really does have to go through losing you as well.

I'll keep an eye on her tomorrow. Take over when you're done. [ even if the worst happens, might as well talk positively. ]
