[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.

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.

[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.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Too bad you weren't showing yourself for a while here... I'm sure you'd have had the time of your life being obnoxious about stuff. There's so much trouble that you could have mocked me for getting into.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[payback.livejournal.com]

D'you have any thoughts on Cabot, in retrospect?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

He made errors that suggested his plan was designed to be beaten... or perhaps he, himself, was designed to be beaten.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Yeah. In a nutshell.

Anything else?

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

I have no other opinions on him.

[payback.livejournal.com]

None at all? Well.

...I asked you several times about what you sensed about Joshua, and you'd never tell me. I'll swap you personal information, a question of similar depth, if you answer me that.
