_{[ This is sussy-bussy behavior, pal. Gintoki knows because he would say something like this if he had a twin that was apparently dangerous in order to keep someone else safe. ]}

ah, me?
i'm stronger than i may look, i guess. you shouldn't have to worry, no matter what kinda powers your brother has.

besides, if i die, that's part of living a beautiful life.
i'd be okay with it.
hell's been waiting for me anyway.

...
Don't die, please. Consider it a personal favor.
It's going to be hard to protect your friends back home if you die here.

[ He doesn't really... want to think it would come to that. Besides, it's not like Nai and Gintoki are talking in person. He's pretty safe unless he goes looking. ]

well, i hate to break it to ya but i can't really say when or where i'd actually die. it's not something that is up for debate. if it's the end of my path, it's the end of my path, that's kind of the fate for us mortals. my life has a number and i don't know what it is, but it's fate.

you can't negotiate with it. maybe it's different for your species, i don't know.

_{[ He could talk about all of the close calls he's had. He almost died on the battlefield and he and Zura were going to commit seppuku and die with honor, but Gintoki decided his life was too beautiful to worry about a beautiful death. It's not the fact that Gintoki is tired of living; it's the fact he doesn't fear dying. He's going to value his life and try to survive, but it's not his place to cheat death somehow if it comes knocking violently at his door. ]}

you don't have a realistic understanding that shit happens that you can't avoid, do you?

[ He'd meant in this particular situation in the moment, but overall yeah. Vash much prefers those people around him not die, and it's very often not a fair request or desire considering the world he lives in and the situations people are in. Vash frowns at his device as he reads all of this ]

I don't believe in fate.
Even if terrible things happen, I can just keep trying. I don't have to give up.
We're all given a blank ticket to the future.

<sub>[ He isn’t sure why but he half expected a response like this. It’s very.. heroic. Kind of like a main JUMP character. Gintoki prefers to have a more realistic belief in things, even if they seem pessimistic most of the time. That’s just how life is— full of disappointment mixed in with happiness.

He’s not going to bust Vash’s bubble if he wants to believe in goodness like this. ]</sub>

again.
you’re an idiot. but it ain’t my place to change whatever path of life you wanna take.

just know that having that kinda mentality has the risk of getting really hurt sometimes.

maybe you’re into that.
maybe you’re an M.

beats me.
