Life Bloom nickered. “Well, maybe I’m just thinking with my friendship here, but have you thought about what this will do to Homage?” His voice was cross. “She’s already lost Jokeblue. What do you think this will do to her?”
 
My heart seized painfully.
 
“This will destroy her!” He stomped the ground for emphasis.
 
I rounded on him, my face scrunched in internal pain as my feelings of loss shifted into a gut-wrenching abhorrence at myself.
 
“I know.” I felt the first of many tears. I stared into his eyes while my vision blurred hotly. “But what if I don’t? If I selfishly put the two of us above all the wasteland and leave Equestria suffering for it?”
 
I answered for him. “She’ll lose her faith in heroes, maybe even in the Good Fight itself. And she’ll blame herself for it.”
