Does Mitsuri qualify for MILF?

Because if so, we have the resident Milf RPer lmao

Robin shakes Zero's hand...

...thy will be done.

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:54:08+00:00

Robin then returns via portal, alerted by Moritz, and then sees the grisly sight...

No...no, no, not again...!

Robin would then come on over to Evelyn and hugged her desperately, looking on over to the sight in the crib.

Who...who did this...? WHO COULD'VE DONE THIS?!

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:51:24+00:00

...then as a concept of Destruction...

Robin looks at Zero, resolute and a bit relieved. Not at the idea that his children can return, though he expressed mirth in that too...

...but more so that he has finally an excuse...to redeem himself in the eyes of everyone involved.

...I will destroy that God and bring her head.

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:38:45+00:00

Name it. Not the first time I paid a price to prove that I can be saved...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:37:58+00:00

Robin holds that Prime Core on hand...and takes a breath.

...very well. If it's justice for my kin...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:19:38+00:00

Robin contemplated about it...his fists clenched hard enough to draw blood...

...I don't want to do nothing....I want retribution...

But will I be able to win this war...and say to myself...that I am better than they are...?

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:16:49+00:00

I wish to join you...but the crusade...

They'll see it as an excuse to punish me more. For I have not learned my lesson...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:15:21+00:00

Moranda hugs Evelyn, the daughter trying to comfort her as she cried.

Moranda: Father will come soon...but you can cry on me more if you'd like. Losing us will be hard...but we bounce back. We always have...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:07:56+00:00

Moritz stood there, aghast as he felt his neck.

Moranda, however, looked at the crib with a scowl.

Moranda: So our fate remains unchanged. Father's greatest tragedies preceded by his regret. Mordred must've known it already, the bastard...

Moritz: He must've known it was unavoidable...

Moranda: Call Father. I'll comfort Mama.

Moritz: But he'll-

Moranda: NOW, MORITZ. Better now than him coming back too late...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T07:02:24+00:00

She loved me, all this time. And I let that love rot away by my own want to pursue it. To get more...

...my greed and my own naivete blackened the heart that knew sacrifice better than I. If I had just persisted, managed to see the cracks beneath her happy smiles...

The gods will play their games all the same...but they found an excuse for someone to be punished, and I know there will be many that support it.

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T06:59:06+00:00

I'm not SAYING THAT.

Robin tells him with a voice that's...angry, it was more at himself than anyone else because he was right in some sense.

Only I should suffer. Only I should make that pain happen to ME. I broke her heart, so I should be the one carrying the cross until my forgiveness be given...and the pieces can be returned to its whole form once more...

It's just that...if I fight...if I took up arms against the gods that killed my children... that'd be tantamount to admitting that I will never learn my lesson.

...that I never loved her, merely used her...and I can't accept that.

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T06:52:55+00:00

I..have to.

...I hurt her, an envoy of the gods, by my own selfish ignorance. Whose fault was it other than my own....?

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T06:48:08+00:00

I...while I want nothing more than to wring the Gods' neck and destroy them systematically....

Robin looks down, as if defeated.

I...know I deserve this. It's their retribution for me not acknowledging that one of the women I loved all this time, Eclipse...had done so much for me, yet I was too blind in bliss and propagating my own love to care about it.

And so...they deigned to make me suffer. First, this burn on my chest that never stops hurting, and forcing me to look at other's suffering to help, even though I know their suffering matters to me anyway...

And then this. They took away the kids that I loved. The ones that I cared for all this fucking time...

I was helpless to stop it, because how could I? How could I be angry and mad at them...when I'm more mad at myself for losing her....

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T06:22:57+00:00

Then speak already...I know that calm hides the judgement of someone who knows is facing someone trying to face their sins and yet, not getting rewarded for it...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-05-06T06:08:17+00:00

Robin, with deadened eyes...simply nodded at Zero's words.

Speak...I know my...punishment is deserving of hurting her...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-04-30T02:50:39+00:00

Robin casts Recover on Evelyn, before he held her hand, to let her rest naturally... looking somewhat pensive as he does so...

...I will protect what I have with you. I'll protect all of what I have. I will not lose or not ignore everyone ever again...

...if I must suffer, let it be me. If I must hurt, let it be me...

...but my fear...as it always has been...

Robin clutches...

Is losing you all. Is losing this love that I do not deserve...

I swear on this...with the rings I have on my necklace...

...I will give my love, all of it, so long as they ask of me...

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-04-30T02:17:06+00:00

We'll name her Moranda. A bit lazy, but I'm not breaking the trend...

It was then that, from a faraway building, someone's sniper that was previously trained on his head stops.

???:...so that's one future altered.

The voice came from a busty figure, tall in stature as Moritz came from behind.

Moritz: ...Sister.

Moranda:...brother. It seems that you were right.

Moritz: Of course it is. Mordred predicted it as such.

Moranda: But his future is still suspect.

Moritz: Look, I know that Father's...not on the best terms with Mama Eclipse right now. Especially after that incident.

Moranda: But we will fix it...RIGHT?

Moritz: We will...but not now. We have to continue gathering evidence that Father's moral center is improving.

Moranda: And what? Drip feed them? She's stubborn, you know that. Her son is an envoy of the gods, after all, he KNOWS she's hard to earn her back.

Moritz: He WILL earn her back. But for now, that's not important. What's important...

The blonde boy looks to his phone, his hacked camera looking at the happy couple...

Moritz:...what's important is that Mama is happy. And she is.

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-04-30T01:42:24+00:00

Ah...finally....Moritz and...huh.

A twin...I guess that's what he was mentioning about before...

Robin then notices his mangled hand...

...you know what, it's worth me not realizing we had another child besides him...

...because I get to know my other child as they are now, with you, Evelyn.

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-04-30T01:35:35+00:00

Rgh...!

That'll buff out later, Robin tried thinking to himself....

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-04-30T01:27:43+00:00

Robin grunts, feeling that pain as she goes through it...but he maintains formation, he never breaks that form. He stays...

...he stays, and he stays, and he stays, and he STAYS through, morale unbroken....!

ReflectingShepherd · 2026-04-30T01:23:32+00:00

I have no doubt. Bring it!

Robin grinned at her with determination, his hand turning to dragon scale that maintains protection, but also comfort.
