[ She's quiet for what likely seems an absurd amount of time. That's not really a question that comes with an easy answer, deep down in her gut Kaga knows what her response is of course but what's the best way to convey that in words?

Honestly... you're a death deity of some sort, aren't you? [ While she talks one of Kaga's tails comes up and gently dabs at Ereshkigal's cheek, wiping her face somewhat clean of tears. ] When mortals justify taking their own lives with that old standby, what would you say to them?
[ Another beat, another shake of her head. ]
As long as you're alive you can fight against things, you can make another way. If you die... well, then there's really is no other way. You just... need to remember your reason to fight. For some people that's themselves and that's fine, other people fight for their country.
[ Her voice grows that much softer as she gently touches the fingertips of her metal hand against an ornate jade broach she wears on her kimono. Kaga smiles sadly as she feels the cool gemstone under her artificial touch. ]
But if you ask me...? We get the furthest when we have someone we want to fight for. A person who even if they maybe don't see us the way we want, just getting to see them is reason enough to fight back against oblivion.
[ Creator's sake... she's talking about Amagi and Enterprise, isn't she? Why has she never realized what a mess her personal life is until coming to this place? ]
