"...I know. I am, too." Knowing he would return in a week eased the likelihood of death. The only deterrent was knowing that Santa will throw a fit when Duster returned. He had some issues with losing the people he cared about, and while Duster didn't want to contribute to it, the fate of the world was at hand. Death...was not a problem.

Unless the Ultima WEAPON was prepared for that.

"You don't think Palitutu has a way to kill us permanently?" Duster wasn't skeptical, but he hoped that wouldn't be the case.

Vincent's gaze was steady, expression stoic as ever. "I do not know. It is possible, as she has always held the advantage over us." A bitter fact, no less true for all that it was hard to swallow.

"That might make a difference to some, if they will show up or not." It was said without judgement. Vincent had already faced death once in his life, and his own personal purgatory and hell. Facing it again permanently did not bother him anymore aside from having work still to do.

"Then I'm going," Duster answered with soft conviction. "I've decided long ago that I'm going to save this world no matter what. Palitutu can hit us with whatever she has...but I won't back down."

He'll sacrifice himself if he has to. This is for the people of Crystallis and every world it has stolen from.

"Anything that can make a difference is worth it."

It sounded like Duster was prepared. Nor did it sound as if he was going into any of this prepared to be reckless, or with any hint unfounded optimism. Not that Vincent felt they should go into battle prepared to lose--that would lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Heroes needed to be aware, and know they were at a disadvantage. That Palitutu would likely hold no mercy or punches, and they needed to be prepared for that. It was how Vincent was preparing himself for it, in any case.

None of this was voiced, but he did nod in response to Duster's conviction.
