【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十章：慰籍 Comfort(14)
“Technically the God-Emperor’s Mandate decrees all the galaxy be the sovereign demesne of mankind,” Alessandra clarified awkwardly. “Which includes all worlds under xenos rule, and refusal of the Mandate is heresy against the God-Emperor but you… you agree, so one could argue that death is not mandated, in this case.”
“And why do you care?” I flicked a few droplets of water her way, though they fell short by a finger’s length. “You asked me, now I pose you the same query… why do you care? What matter is it to you that I choose to die? You were agreeable enough to the notion an hour ago.”
“You are not what I expected,” Alessandra replied softly, tucking her legs in under her arms as the water swirled between us. “You are nothing like what I was told I would meet when I was lectured on the Eldar race, and I’m not certain anymore what to make of it, or of you.”
“Then your dissonance shall be rectified when I die, and you need never think of me again,” I offered.
“NO!”
Her voice echoed around the mist-damp walls of the washroom, and a tremor of a pained ache struck me like a surge tide and rocked me across my soul like the herald of a calamity. For a moment, I could not place it, but reason asserted itself a moment later and pointed towards the only possible answer.
