That was it, right there, wasn't it? That was the difference between them and the difference between her and Vette too.
If she went down in battle, Nina was pretty sure they'd be upset (though, honestly, she did not understand how upset they would be, so this was a hazy, weirdly hopeful sort of guess) but both of them had piles of other people who loved them.
Nina had no one else. Vette could say her gang back home would love her, Nina, until the end of time and Prompto's gang of boys hadn't blocked her from contacting them, but they weren't hers and would probably never be. So it was really, really stupid for Prompto to try and put her death on par with the pain that his or Vette's would cause people.
Just... really, really stupid.
"I wouldn't deliberately set out to die," she said, since Nina could be dumb, but she wasn't that dumb. "But it's... it's like, if I saw someone take a swing at you and shouting at you that it was happening didn't work, then all the thinking in the world wouldn't stop me from trying to get there in time. I wouldn't be thinking 'Prompto's going to d-" her voice hitched, "d-die anyway, so don't bother. I'd just be thinking 'some total jerk is trying to hurt Prompto'."
