You could have also left before this took off. You can jump out with your own two feet now, too.
[ there are so many options. ]

[ The thing he was fiddling with earlier is revealed to be a little woodblock of a five pointed star. ]
I guess you can earn some traumatic memories from "dying"? Death isn't a real death if you just come back, but everybody treats it like you'll be gone for good like last night's conversation. Or maybe they don't want blood on their hands despite them being willing to "die" for the "cause", or the achievements.
[ He pockets it and takes out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. ]
You can jump out too, you know? Instead of wasting time being trapped in this hot air balloon with me, you could be doing other things. Is time something you can waste?

[ she doesn't know why he wants to die, but that's a reason for someone out there probably. ]
Everyone was aware it wouldn't last forever, but the point is that people care about who dies even if it won't last. They care in general, and even if someone is used to death, it's normal to not want someone you like to die.
[ she sees but won't comment on the little woodblock. ]
Most, if not all of us, have some blood on our hands. If not from one of these games, then from home, for one reason or another.
I may not be normal, but I'm not going to do anything that's a waste of time to me. The view outweighs the empty feelings behind your words.

[ He got his pack and lighter out, but he puts it back into his pocket again. Seo thinks about something while looking out at the ocean and then reaches out in an attempt to ruffle her hair. Messily. Please get tangles. ]

her voice is quiet and calm as ever. ]
You do not have permission to touch me like that.
no subject
I don't respect you at all to ask for your permission. I actually really like people, but you truly test that.
[ Perhaps he would have like how he was just trying to get Roxana to stop doing things when she was cursed, but that was really the extent of it even back then. She said that she would go for one of his earrings, and he thinks she deserves to die. He's not as much of a mystery as he appears to be, and just painfully human.
And that's why he attempts to fling Roxana above the burner part of the hot air balloon. Death by 1200F heat? ]
no subject
she doesn't need him to like her or his respect, but if he wants people to leave his earrings alone, he should be less obvious. he broadcasts how much that's the only thing he treasures. of course it's an easy button to press. the math is simple.
if death were more permanent, she'd maybe fight this more, but she doesn't really want to be around him either. maybe he shouldn't have tried to hinder her while she was obviously cursed and crazy in love if he didn't want his earrings threatened.
she's nothing, if not petty and vengeful. ]
I don't need your respect or your permission.
[ her grip is strong enough that even as he starts to throw her, she uses the momentum to try to shove him over the endge of the hot air balloon basket.
he can die, too. ]
no subject
He is truly a man of his own making--his own errors, his own actions, his own consequences and has no one else to blame but himself. ]
