❰ emil has a lot of sympathy to give other people at his core. he's never wished ill on anyone else, no more than an inconvenience or fantastical accident. so it's not as if he would want, in this hypothetical scenario, all those people stuck in the hole to perish. if he were directly there, in this moment, he himself would offer a helping hand in whatever way he could, albeit he would have no real forethought about what to do.
but the reality is they are far removed from the scenario, and there's a hierarchy of concern emil has established in life. however many people might be trapped in some sadistic well, none of them come before his care and concern for lalli. and especially in a world where their vitality could be so easily snuffed out. ❱
I wouldn't die. ( spoken with a scowl, as if it's a stupid thing to suggest - but that scowl fades a moment later, perhaps the only indication that he does indeed recognize the validity in emil's concern.
a sigh through his nose, and, ) They said you come back if you die, didn't they? So it doesn't matter. ( which isn't quite the point he wants to make, but he doesn't know how to articulate 'i've always known i'd probably die protecting others, so it's better me than someone who might actually be haunted by it'. )

And what if you went and you died?
