[From here.]

I want to know. And impatience - I can only learn that kind of stuff when you're around, right? And look, you left.

Mm... I suppose you'd think so.

I never asked what your situation was like, back in your own world.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

It's probably best that you didn't. It wasn't a pleasant one.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

All I have to base the answer on is rumour, but it's likely that I will be brought to an end in due time.

[payback.livejournal.com]

...Do you know if you'll get anything... after? How much time is due time?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

I've seen Nobodies meet their end. We don't know what happens after. I daresay it isn't pleasant.

[pause]

Perhaps a few hours. Perhaps more.

[She fidgits and glances down.]

...Oh.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Don't make that face.

[payback.livejournal.com]

What?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

That downcast face. It isn't a tragedy by any means.

[payback.livejournal.com]

What, you welcomed it?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

No. Presence is all we have. But there's no sense in mourning what never was.

[payback.livejournal.com]

So... what, nothing and then more nothing?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[payback.livejournal.com]

...But how can you be sure?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

There is overwhelming evidence that indicates it.

[payback.livejournal.com]

What evidence is that?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Millions of scouts sent around the universe to find Nobodies who have met their end coming back to the World suggest it.

[payback.livejournal.com]

But. I mean, that doesn't say one thing or another about anything that might be coming after. Just that life is tough... where you are.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

"Life is tough?" Life is relatively easy.

I smile every time I get that icon.

[payback.livejournal.com]

In comparison to what?

:')

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Sigh, Rin. Siiiigh.

[payback.livejournal.com]

[Her frown deepens. B(] I'm not sure I have the rhetorical vocabulary to argue any of this with you the way I'd like to argue it.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Few do. What a pity.

[payback.livejournal.com]

...Anyway.
