[ Yeah, there's no doubt on Amos' end. There never has been. He didn't need to fully embrace Zenith to reach that point — it was simply always in him, long before he arrived in Kenos or knew of magic or even grew up. The dead stay dead.
And it's because of this that he can't properly see where Atsumu is coming from; why anyone would have that doubt. Meridian as a philosophy already makes no sense, but for a Zenite to harbour doubts? Seems impossible.
Amos' own eyes widen in turn, though, because that was not at all what he was asking Atsumu. ]
No— Shit. Fuck, no. [ The shock that that's what Atsumu thought he might be asking... It might be the most animated he's ever been around the kid. Amos shakes his head, no. ] I would never— I don't want that for you. Ever. I mean more like...
[ Amos withdraws his hand. Waves it a little vaguely. ]
Help cause a distraction, you know? I mean, I only want Cyrus. Nobody else. But he's going to be tough to get to, so I need the rest of the city focused on other shit. So if you can draw people away from their capital. Keep their guards busy. That kind of thing. And when it's over, you can just leave. That's all — nothing more than that, I swear.
