[Empiricist]

"I think that was something Victoria was implied to have been considering anyway. Plus killing Selina may be a bad idea when she's still pregnant..."
"But... I should be okay with it... the only reason I'm not is because I'm doubting you... and it hurts to know that I am..."
Victoria still feels that her suicide is inevitable...

[RangerCado]

"No... y-y-y-you don't h-h-have to be... o-o-okay with it... I... I will a-a-always love you... e-e-even if you d-d-don't know it..."

[Xantalos]

Then have them go to the headmistress and have her reality warp the baby out of her womb and into an artificial one until it comes to term, then.

[Twi]

<Suppose that is the case. Your goal is to maximize Selina's happiness, is it not? The best way to do so is to be there for her. If you don't believe me, I would submit to you this evidence.>

Marie sends Victoria images (shamelessly stolen for this purpose) of Selina being happy with her!

< If you accept that, then you must also accept that the best way to make her as happy as possible is to hang around as long as possible.>

[Empiricist]

"What sort of pathetic abomination can't even trust the person they love? *sigh* I don't even know what I want anymore..."
"That could work... wait, can't she just remove Selina's succubus urges?"
<But then she'll be even sadder when I die...>

[Xantalos]

Presumably. You have to remember, most of my plans are centered around my satisfaction, not anyone else's. Though I appear altruistic here I'm actually doing it for the purpose of getting their angst out of my face.

[RangerCado]

"No... i-i-its okay t-t-to doubt... i-i-its okay..." Selina hugs her tightly.

[Twi]

<Not so. When people grow old, they learn the inevitability of death, and if they are wise and patient and fulfilled, they come to terms with it. Both of you would be happier at the end of your days, not more sad.

Besides, one  moment of sadness cannot make up for a thousand little moments of happiness.>

[Empiricist]

"It is still coincidentally altruistically for me since I also want to get rid of all that angst."
"But I don't want to... doubt you..."
<I don't me my shell dying... I mean my actual form dying and dissipating from existence...>

[Xantalos]

Then go and suggest both plans to them. I can feel the angst oozing out from their shriveled hearts.

[RangerCado]

"V-v-v-victoria... I... I d-d-doubt I could... c-c-c-could ever stop you from... h-h-hurting yourself... b-b-but I st-still try... i-i-its okay... i-its okay..." Selina hugs her comfortingly.

[Empiricist]

Victoria breaks down in tears and glomps Selina.
"Looks like it's just ended for now, I'll wait until they calm down, then I'll suggest it."

[Twi]

<..How does that change things?>

[Empiricist]

<Because I'll be doing little more than abandoning Selina...>

[RangerCado]

"Victoria... d-d-don't... don't..." Selina begins to cry as well, holding her closely.
