I know of at least one person here who can do it. Would you like me to introduce you to her?

[Maul held a large, healthy respect for Usagi and the immense power she wielded as Sailor Moon.]

I used to think hope was a foolish thing but now I hold onto it tightly. Sometimes, it has paid off in the long run, just as holding onto anger and hate used to do for me as well.

Unless she is the sort of person to use such an ability on someone with no explanation or input as to the ethics therein, no. I could do without the inevitable lecture.

Hope, like pride, seems to be something of a double edged sword. It's beneficial until it isn't. But in this case a little isn't bad, for the chance of it happening seems to be higher than zero by a good amount.

No, she would not do that. Nevermind then.

Well said and a good way to look at the emotion. When it is not beneficial, I don’t use it, but in this case I feel it has been good to hold onto it.

Unfortunate but for the best. Those with a solid moral compass should not have it challenged on a whim like that. I'll find alternatives, eventually.

In any case, may hope not be a pointless endeavor for you. I'm sure having family on hand and not wondering about their fates and locations would be a good thing.

A moral compass, I have found, is an inconvenient thing to have even at the best of times.

It would bring me some peace of mind, that is true enough.
