If an existence's sole purpose is to serve as anti-existence to another existence, would the elimination of one existence also be the end of the other? If there is nothing to be the anti- of, after achieving the goal of eliminiation, what will be left?

Something different.

Such as?

A new existence could rise for the anti- to be opposite of, the anti- could become the existence, or... could simply become neither. Something different. Not one or the other.

Interesting. The change of one's own existence is what you believe in?

Yes. It's always possible to change. To rise above.

I have seen you posting on the network a lot. About your powers. Are you planning to 'rise above' as well?

I've risen.

Interesting. I do hope things will become less bland in the near future, then.

I'll try my best.

To protect. A new existence, to protect those who are important to you.

Is it really that simple?

It ...

I was not created to destroy a single person, but instead to protect a country. So my purpose in that way differs from yours. Even after I succeed, then I still have my original purpose to return to.

Except the ... the country is reforming as a different country, now.

You have to make your own purpose, I guess. It's simpler to say than it is to do.

The question that rises is, if you were created as someone's anti existence, wouldn't you cease to exist as soon as that existence disappeared? The 'you' that was created as anti existence. Even if you 'change' and find a new purpose, it wouldn't be that form of 'you' anymore.

No, because of the ... the effort that went into you, right?

But even if it's not the same 'you,' it's still the ... same person, because... it's just like a name change. It doesn't change your nature. Just because you were a weapon made to kill one person doesn't mean you'll break in his chest, right? Then you'll be the same weapon, wielded for a different purpose.

You sound like Rubedo. A little. It's eerie.

Hm.

I do not want to sound like him.

I am going to hold a barbecue on the beach sometime soon, I think. Would you like to come? You can bring any of your friends.

It isn't really a bad thing, right now. Just that thing about protecting being your purpose... he abandoned his duty and claimed that protecting someone was more important than his real purpose.

...A barbecue? ...I don't mind, I guess. And I have no 'friends' to begin with, so I don't think that will be an issue.

A "sole purpose" to life sounds too simple to be realistic.

Oh? And what does sound realistic to you?

Making your own meanings for life. Otherwise I'd think one'd become aimless far too quickly.

I'm merely thinking. Those whose purpose is something finite will lose their reason to exist after that duty has been fulfilled. Something continuous such as "protecting" might be the reason how people can justify their existence for so long.

Maybe. If you do a well enough job about it, protecting the people you care for is incredibly worthwhile.

That would require caring for someone, wouldn't it?

That's a kind of important part of it, yes. I'm sure there's someone out there you care about.

~~The only person I would protect with my life is not here.~~

I guess you can't call it caring and protecting, but I might just make it my duty to keep you out of trouble since you're so eager to throw yourself into it for others.
