What I'm afraid of, I've already faced. What sends me into a moment of being frozen in fear, I've already experienced.

I'm afraid of being indecisive, of being unable to act to save another. Of logic and my search for truth almost causing me to lose someone I care about deeply.

I'm afraid of watching those around me suffer because of my action or inaction and not be able to overcome what life throws at them. Of their other selves overtaking them.

I'm afraid of the fog and deceit claiming everything I hold dear.

I'm afraid of who and what I could have been.

I'm afraid of being empty again, and...

I'm afraid of being alone.

[endinsentiment]

Weakness.

[endinsentiment]

[And twenty minutes later, as if he's been struggling with restraint the entire time and possibly contemplating cutting off his hands]























friendship.

[great_king_of_evil]

To be sealed in the Dark World again. Forever.

[the_white_rider]

The Dark Lord Sauron, if he regained his Ring and all the power and armies going with it.

[swordofzero]

Failure. Failing my friends, not being able to protect people. That I betrayed Lelouch, again, when I came here. Left him to save the world on his own, that I made Zero Requiem fail.

That in becoming Lelouch's knight I fully became the monster they call me.

[notagiraffe]

"That Gyousou is dead, that Tai is destroyed and all its peoples are dying and it's all my fault because I'm here and can't find a new king."

[keybearer]

Letting my friends down, especially Kairi. She's all I have left from home. Of course, who knows if they're okay? There's always a chance that note's right, but I'm not about to accept that.

[There's a long pause before he finally adds:]

And... being alone. I hope I never have to go through that.

idc if i'm stuck in plot postin' to this

[beknightedheroine]

_{[she doesn't want to post to this, but her hands aren't listening to her right now -]}

Forgetting my purpose for fighting. I mean, if I lose sight of those reasons - making my wish for _Kyosuke, trying to protect people, wanting to be a Puella Magi that only fights selflessly...

What do I have here other than my motivation? Nothing at all. I'll be no better than someone who'd let people die just to get something valuable out of it. Just some selfish person who gives into base wants.

[benigncancer]

i'm afraid of making my loved ones suffer again.

[metawoof]

[entropied]

G0ing h0me.

[selenic]

I'm afraid of losing control of myself and hurting the people I love again. And I'm afraid that you're telling the truth, and that Yuri and I are the only ones from our world left.

[orphans]

Dying alone.

[zeroisafox]

M'scared of screwing up and getting my friends killed. They didn't have to come with me after all.




Oh, and werewolves. .....dirty bathrooms.

[duplicity]

answer 1:
I have a lot of fears. I guess the two most significant would be my friends dying because of me, or people becoming afraid of me again.

answer 2:
Retribution.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Link dyin'. He ain't allowed to die, the little jerk! 'Cos then I'll be alone and he's the hero so he ain't supposed to die and leave me behind!

[animus_sorrow]

Seeing... Shion and Yeshua die. Or seeing them dead...

[mamadonna]

What I Fear Is Losing Those Under My Care Once More, Failing To Prevent The Consequences Which Have Become Inevitable From Reaching Them, The Suffering Which Is All But Promised To Us As A Result Of Our Dissent To The Powers Which Seek To Oppressed And Enslave Our People.
But I Additionally Fear Meeting That Punishment Myself, To Be Once More Submitted To That Pain And The Inability To Successfully Reverse It, Save With The Surrender Of My Own Life.
I Fear Having Everything Which Gives My Life Its Purpose Robbed From Me Once More, And My Own Survival Maintained Only That I Can Fully Experience The Ensuing Despair.

[fracta_anima]

....Finding out my friends didn't want me around either or for my brother to hate me. That they know how wrong I am and how much I like to fight, to tear into shadows and just hurt and tear and kill. That I'll become something sick and wrong because of it. It happened once in the Tower. What if it happens again? And that time, I won't have Death as an excuse as to why.

[miseris_socios]

I'm afraid of being alone. I'm afraid that the others are going to die and I'm going to be left on my own. I don't know what to do - I don't have any plans for the future.

[oldmannomore]

Seeing my wife die - again. And my children die. I'm afraid of humanity being wiped out - we're in a really fragile position right now. I'm afraid of failing the people who rely on me.

[thanabro]

I'm afraid of Minato and Minako dying. I know I never had that much time left, but they deserve a good life. I'm afraid of letting people down. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me messing up.

[mythgravenblade]

My fellow Red Wings once told me I was very courageous for my station. Courage is acting despite fear, and thus I suppose I have many weighing on my shoulders.

I am afraid of... once again falling back into being untrue to myself. Being untrue to my own heart, and letting what others ask of me rule my heart and mind. I do not want to bend to another's will while sacrificing my own morals again, Dark Knight or Paladin.

I fear someone forcing my hand on an innocent. I await the day my kingdom sees that I am but a soldier wearing a crown, unfit for rule, and I am terrified of it. I fear for my brother, my people, my parents, passed on: do I uphold their legacy well?

But perhaps most of all, I fear losing Rosa and Kain. Rosa, in my failings to protect her, and Kain, in a possessed mind. The thought of either falling from my hand is a nightmare that reoccurs far too often.
