Week 8

[airlockedmods]

[This weekend has brought about some unusual questions about your resident robotic Overseer, but unfortunately, you've also lost two more of your own to an accidental death.

You've done your best with the star charts, but if anyone is coming to help you, there is no sign of it yet. SIS remains the only friendly face here, even as you've found that she holds her own secrets. Meanwhile, yet another new floor has opened up - the elevators are in perfect working order now, if any of you care to go and see it. That's four concourses now; one for each of your groups. There's an awful lot of dead, aren't there?]

That's pretty tame. Try making out with people in front of everyone with a girl that you weren't even dating. Though Rainbow was totally fine with it.

[Bless Fukawa.]

Mira does hide her bad things... but she's also not one to brag. If she's genuinely happy, she just loves sharing it with everyone, hoping they'll get happy, too. We just haven't really talked in years... we used to talk everyday when in college.

[And Mira still didn't catch on that her best friend was hopelessly in love with her.]

... well, I might take you up on that. I don't have a destination after this place.

[induality]

Ahhhhh what the hell. I can't believe how much I missed.

[She belonged with that group at least in spirit, and you can't tell her otherwise.]

Being happy isn't that simple. I'd be a hell of a lot happier if this was all over. But... I'm still happy that I got to meet you all. I'm happy that you're still here.

People's feelings are complicated.

But if that means I get to spend more time with you then... that's her loss.

[everylittlesecret]

You would love Queenie, she's very liberal with her affections.

[Fukawa...]

You make everything sound so simple, ya know.

[induality]

There's nothing more beautiful than a woman in love.

[Even if that love is for everyone.]

Simple... Maybe.

But... aren't you just making excuses? Deciding what other people think-- so you don't have to hear the truth from them? If you tell yourself that then you won't... expect more.

...you won't get hurt when reality sets in.

[She... knows. Very well.]

[everylittlesecret]

And she's a damn good kisser.

[Well...]

I've had too many people claim they are "speaking the truth" just to hurt me. It makes me trust in things like science and proven facts more than human words... There's been too many times that the "truth" was lies. It's not above accepting it, it's about the fact that I've had to train myself to hear if people are lying to me, and even then I can't accept everything at face value. Humans can be really good actors.

[induality]

[Note to self: observe Queenie. Write a book about her and her harem.]

I see.

So we witnessed the same things, but... came to very different conclusions. When I realized the truth about the people that should have cared about me-- or the ones that said they did when they didn't... I came to the conclusion that the problem had to be me. It didn't mean I hated them any less for it, but I decided that the reason they had to make that choice was... me. But you... accepted the kind of people humans are and lived like that.

...honestly, the person who woke up in Starfield... would have thought that was smart. I would have said you made the right decision.

That was before I had anyone I could believe in. Well-- no. There were two people I believed in. Byakuya and Makoto. But... not in the same way I do the people here.

I'm no one special. So introducing myself to people never felt important-- they'd just forget me anyway, if they didn't hate me. But I guess here, eventually I started to think maybe... that... if I died, maybe [Only maybe though.] someone would be impacted.

Whatever you think about yourself... I know that-- if you died... if you weren't here... it would make a difference to me.

So... if even someone like me can feel that way, I want to believe that the person you cared about that much would feel the same way. I don't have any proof and... my experiences would tell you that you're better off not hoping... but that's not what I want to tell you. I want... to tell you to live and go see her so you can see the truth for yourself.
