Re: major EW spoilers

Somehow, that is worse.

Phillip looks up from his braid, his eyes sad. "...We shouldn't be judged by our worst day or our worst feature, is the point," he says softly, "At least, not it alone. There is more to us, all of us, then that. And, for the most part, we try our best to make it all the best it can be."

He's quiet a moment, before dropping his hair and stepping closer again, though not yet touching. "There is an old saying, that it is better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all." It is a saying he holds dear, and Gustavain may remember the time where it all came lose, where he'd said as much- that even though he was doomed to live years beyond Gustavain, he still wanted this, wanted the time they could have together. "Is it better, then, to have existed and suffered, or to never have existed at all?"

That is, essentially, Hermes's question, with Meteion answering in the later. But Phillip can't believe that. Not for a second. Life is too precious to just throw away because not all of its parts are pleasant.
