I don't intend to die, fighting or otherwise.

[ It's not defiant. Just a simple statement of fact. ]

I made a promise to Mai-chan. I told her I was going to live. I don't intend on breaking it any time soon. After what I did to her and what I've carried on doing every week, I need to. Giving up now and letting myself die would be as good as throwing away their lives. Like they weren't worth a thing.
