i cannot stop thinking about allura saying this... these are the words of someone who has been passively suicidal for SO long slowly realizing she may actually want to live. she’s never been able or willing to envision a future where she survives the war, so she’s never had to think about her own future and where that leaves her when all is said and done. but now….maybe she does want to live after all, and surviving is an even more daunting thought than the alternative. because what will she do? where will she go? she was kept alive those 10,000 years for this purpose, but what purpose does she have after? she’s so haunted by the grief and trauma that will never leave her, and dying would be easier than having to find the way to live with that forever. than finding a future where maybe that doesn’t have to be all she lives to do, to carry that grief and fight and give and give and give until there’s nothing left.
