I..I don't think that'll work.

[Oh god I'm going to have to die, I cannot let this pure round creature come to harm]

[makorelief]

It might! We've got to try!

[wherethewildthingsare]

[He. Keeps his hands under his the uniform's cape. Mainly so she can't seem him clenching his hands. And trying to remain as calm as possible.]

...From what I've heard, there aren't loopholes like that.

But... you don't have to worry, okay?

[Cause I'll do it.]

[makorelief]

Hey....hey no, we've both got to live through this! It's just like school, right? We just have to believe!

[wherethewildthingsare]

[What the hell kind of school did you go you Aventurine]

...Is there even anything we can sacrifice? We don't even have many memories yet..

[makorelief]

[ One ruled by a teenager where it was kill or be killed obviously that is what real high school is like. ]

Uhm...clothes? All of our clothes? Our hair? Our modesty?

[wherethewildthingsare]

It has to be something equal to one of us dying..are any of those that important to you?

[I'm trying to think myself. BOY THIS IS ROUGH..]

[makorelief]

My womanly virtue is even more important in the face of my impending death!

[wherethewildthingsare]

[He has to try not to snort a little. EVEN IN THE FACE OF DEATH...]

...Well, we can each come up with something, but.

Let me be the one to die if it's not enough. I was a Knight. It's my job to protect people. Let me protect you.

[makorelief]

...Okay. But we won't let it come to that, alright? I don't have the courage to face death, but I have the courage to support you as much as possible!

[wherethewildthingsare]

[Oh my god you perfect tiny girl]

Right. We have to think of something they'll take.

[He's really trying to sound nonchalant but there's a noticeably shakiness in his breaths.]

[makorelief]

[ what if I hug you fiercely ]

I'm not sure. I guess 'everything I've remembered' isn't really that big, huh?

[wherethewildthingsare]

[I will pat your head.]

Yeah.. they probably wouldn't accept that unless you remembered something really important...

[makorelief]

I'm not even sure what's important to me right now, other than my friends!

[wherethewildthingsare]

Well...it's kinda gruesome but I don't have much else..so I guess I could give them my right arm.

It's pretty important as a Knight.. and I am right handed..a knight who can't fight is pretty worthless.

[makorelief]

[ !!!! ]

Ahhhhh, but you need that! I don't even know what I have of value, but you make such a big decision so willingly!

[wherethewildthingsare]

I-It's not like I want to, y'know...

I just can't think of anything else that's so valuable..

maybe my eyes..

[makorelief]

Maybe...maybe I should give my eyes, then. Those seem pretty important. Or my sense of humor? My good fashion sense?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Your eyes are pretty important, but they might want something more personal.. but we don't have any memories..

[This is so hard!!]

[makorelief]

I could give up the ability to smile. Maybe it doesn't seem like much, but I'm always smiling. What if I just didn't remember how to do that?

[wherethewildthingsare]

[Oh no Aventurine baby.]

...You don't have to do that.

[makorelief]

Mm! I do! Because I don't want anyone to die! And if I forget, you all can teach me how to smile again. I believe in you.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....Alright then. If you forget how to smile, We'll teach you how again.

[makorelief]

Alright. Then...that's what I'm going to give up. You'll have to all work together as a team to help me remember.

[wherethewildthingsare]

I promise.

[makorelief]

And I promise to quest hard, and long, to regain your very own arm as soon as possible!

[wherethewildthingsare]

And if we can't remind you how to smile. I'll quest so you can get that back!

[makorelief]

Okay! It's really nice to have a team, you know. I don't remember much, but doesn't seem like my school was full of teams.

[wherethewildthingsare]

Really, what was your school like?

[makorelief]

It killed people for fraternizing with the enemy.

[wherethewildthingsare]

....

....

[Creaking noise.

Mouth hangs open.]

[makorelief]

It was a fun school, though! Ryuko saved me from being fried alive.

[wherethewildthingsare]

[LEANS FORWARD

CREAKING INTENSIFIES.]

..Fr..ied..?

[makorelief]

Mmm, delicious shrimp.
