I still miss Kreutzer a lot and I would do anything to be with her forever. Even dying and becoming a reaper if that's what it took. I'm not afraid of death.

... Coco, that's not good.

[CW: Mentioning suicide]

[shyformerassistant]

I know, but I'm not going to kill myself if that's what you're worried about. I'm too much of a coward to do that.

[While she hasn't had thoughts of doing so yet, she has been feeling a bit desperate to be with her again.]

[CW: Mentioning suicide]

That's still not a good thing to think. It's okay to want to be with someone, but it's not okay to actually want to do something like that, even if you aren't willing to go through with it. It's not a good thought to have.

[shyformerassistant]

I'm aware of that. It's just Kreutzer is already dead because she's a reaper and I don't really want to go back to my old Equestria. Even if there's that job with Rarity's friend, it's away from my friends and my parents are just going to reject me just like my parents here did.

[twotailedgenius]

But if you did do that and became a Reaper, what do you think your other friends would think about that? You'd probably never see them again. Or me. And we'd all be going through the pain of knowing you died, no matter how it was inflicted.

If it happened naturally, that's one thing. But now you've got me worried that one day if the opportunity arises and it's due to outside forces, you'd take it and we'd all lose you.

Fluttershy and Fluttercruel are reapers too even if they are alive again.

I...wish I could say I would never do that but I can't...

[twotailedgenius]

Coco... what you're talking about sounds less like love and more like... desperation. And I know it hurt seeing her in that dream. But... that's not the answer. It's never the answer. You should never change yourself for one person, even if it's the one you love, because you're not changing something for yourself. You have to be true to yourself, no matter what that might mean.

And this kind of path is not the kind of path you need to go on, or even think about doing. And especially not just because you want to be with her. Like I said from the beginning: that's not good. It won't ever be good. And it might hurt, but it'll hurt less now than in the future when something goes horribly wrong, or you find out that you hurt way more ponies and people in what happened than the one person you're doing this for.

[She lowers her head in guilt.]

I'm being selfish, I know.

[twotailedgenius]

You're also wanting to be something that neither of us understand. Is it worth it to become something that you don't know much about? [Personally he's curious about what it entails simply for the knowledge.] You're being hasty, and you're pushing yourself into something you don't know.

I need you to understand that it's not worth all of that for one person. I wouldn't even ask you to do that for me. I don't know her well, but I'm almost sure she wouldn't ask you to do this either.

[And while he's at it, he's going to hug her.]

Just... be patient. Things will work out, somehow. If they don't... I can always come look for you if we're sent home. I have a way. And then I can help you find her. If that's what you really want.

[cruel_kindness]

Coco, no.

[shyformerassistant]

B-but I want to be with her again. I-I'm sure I have what it takes to become a reaper. I'm not afraid of dying at all.

[cruel_kindness]

It's... it's not about that. When Mom and I were Reapers, some Noise started attacking us. One of Kreutzer's friends had disappeared from existence. Reaper work in the game is dangerous work, even if it doesn't feel like it at times.

And let's not forget that you could end up a Player, and that there could be some Reapers challenging you that miss the entire point of being a Reaper. Their intentions would be to just wipe you out. And then you disappear forever, unable to exist anymore. It's called being Erased.

And how do you even know you'd end up in the same location as her anyway? Each week, you jump around to a different location.

So do us a favor and wait for her to come back. In fact, that's a Reaper Challenge.

[shyformerassistant]

[Oh wow. She had no idea. Granted she had never really asked what being a reaper actually meant or what those challenges were actually like.]

Okay...

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy takes control and hugs Coco.]

We're sorry, but it had to be said. She'll come back. We just have to be patient...
