What would you do if you were given a second chance?

What would you feel?

Unsettled, but grateful.

Is something the matter, Father Kotomine?

[structuraldefect]

Unsettled?

It seems I've proven my teacher wrong about something, at the very least.

[answerer_sword]

Over the fact that I would be granted the chance in the first place, especially if it were a big mistake on my part. Nervous, as well, over if I can avoid making mistakes with the second chance.

And what was that, if I might ask?

[papshooshing]

I'D FEEL PARANOID ABOUT FUCKING UP.

...this is cr i never knew i wanted but now need

[structuraldefect]

That the second chance might be taken back, if you do?

lmao well hopefully it lives up to expectations

[papshooshing]

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT THE CHANCE WILL BE TAKEN BACK.
MORE LIKE YOU'LL JUST MESS THAT SHIT UP AND THEN THE SECOND CHANCE KIND OF BECOMES MOOT IN THE END.
HERE SOMETHING HAS GIVEN YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO STOP BEING SUCH A BULGEBITING FAILURE, RIGHT?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO THINK THAT IT'S ALL FOR NAUGHT?
THAT THE TIME AND EFFORT WAS JUST SORT OF WASTED?

Being given a second chance means that what you needed to do still needs to be done. I wouldn't feel "lucky" - I would simply acknowledge that my role was still necessary.

[structuraldefect]

What would you do if your role was complete?

[anon]

[nonesodangerous]

Then why would there be a second chance?

[icons invisible]

[wearsmanymasks]

If you don't get a second chance, adapt, rethink your plans, look for different advantages. If you do get a second chance, then take the chance that fate has dealt you and try again.

How would I feel? Ha, lucky, I suppose. But then it's never any great problem if I don't get the second chance.

[structuraldefect]

If you do it right the first time, you don't need them.

[wearsmanymasks]

Well, that's obvious. You should always try and get it right the first time. All I'm saying is that if you don't, there's no use panicking either way.

[stillneedawish]

Relieved and grateful, I guess. And determined to do my best this time round.

... But I'd also wonder, why me.

[structuraldefect]

Why not you?

[stillneedawish]

Ehe, I guess that's a good point. I suppose it's just that in the grand scheme of things I don't matter much, so it just seems odd to me. Unless it's just for something small like missed homework, of course. Then I'd just be pleased about that. [ not that she's ever missed homework in her life, but... ]

Why are you asking, anyway, Kotomine-san? Did someone give you a second chance with something recently?

[anon]

[aquaticrush]

Probably fail again anyway...

[structuraldefect]

You wouldn't know that for certain, though, would you?

[anon]

[aquaticrush]

Well, I'm mostly sure. I mean, it happened the last time a virus gave me a second chance to do something that I'd failed to do before. I managed to do what I couldn't the last time, but then it went wrong.

[harbingersoul]

You cannot truly predetermine emotion unless faced with the circumstance. As it stands, I would not wish for it.

[structuraldefect]

They're very difficult to predict, that's true. Is there any reason why you wouldn't?

[harbingersoul]

Too many chances have already been given.

[Anon]

[fightbymoonlight]

I don't think I want one.

[structuraldefect]

Is that so? Why?

[anonymous]

[justforyou]

Overjoyed; if I could use that chance to change myself...to make it so that no one could look at me and think of me as the same person I was before... That would be the greatest gift.

[structuraldefect]

To start over, then?
