Even when trying means others are paying for it?

If there's a chance that it'll make things better, it's better than not trying at all.

I probably would've done the same thing.

You probs wouldn't ignore your teammate.

[...oh come on there was nothing said about a teammate being there and having a dissenting opinion.

He'll just hack off another piece of vine to burn because seriously.]

If I wasn't the only one playing? Then yeah, I guess. But that's not really the point.

Look. If you hadn't done that, if you'd just shut up, and it had been dragged out, and it turned out that they were seriously that blind and everyone ended up dying except you, you'd regret not having spoken up, right?

Three teams.

If the wolves played along, at least three teams would have lived.

You had no way of knowing that everybody would die, Roxy! Last I checked, you're not psychic.

[What's funny is that's honestly debatable with how Homestuck works.]

I should have!

I ignored my teammate, I ignored what so many people were saying, and I shouldn't have because then maybe I would have seen what was in the rules sooner!

So learn from it!

But don't blame yourself. Blame the Echo who ran this dumbass excuse for a game instead. 'Cause if it wasn't for that? None of this would've happened. Even if you had stayed quiet? Teams still would've died. If the Yaksinis hadn't been assholes, though, nobody would've had to.

...

So it's not... It's not your fault. Please, just don't blame yourself for this.

There's always assholes. I'm suppose to...supposed to stop them.

And you tried.

You're allowed to not be perfect at it, you know?

[She scoffs.] I know I'm not.

And that's okay!

You're allowed to make mistakes. You're allowed to not always succeed. As long as you keep trying... That's what matters.

And if I get people killed?!

How many people do I have to have die around me before I can just give up?!

Well, that's where the whole learning from past mistakes part comes in. You'll get better at it.

Haven't yet.

But you will. I know you will.

[She just looks away from him, staring at the bodies.]

You don't believe me.

No.

I don't.

...Well if you don't think you can get better, I guess you must think I'm pretty hopeless myself, huh.

Haven't seen a lot of failure from you.

Really? I'm failing pretty hard right now. Light's knowledge and clarity, right? You'd think that'd mean I'd have some idea how to help you out here.

Besides. You're a goddess, you just don't have all your pieces back yet. Far as I know? I'm just some kid who can play with fire.

I didn't want to be a goddess. I don't want it, don't want this power, don't want ANY of it...

You help your friends. You protect 'em and lead 'em and know how to use your powers to help others. People like you and what you do.

You're amazing.
