Comments

[slightlyoblivious]

Thank you.

[Yukiko nods, taking that piece of fruit. She looks at it for a second, watching it go from normal-looking to film and back.]

It doesn't seem quite real, does it?

[warriorscribe]

...I suppose not.

*She's right...they're here. They're actually here. At the end of the countdown. It had felt like so little time before, but now...somehow, he's not worried. It doesn't seem like it's really happening.*

We've come so far. The time before this room existed, before the glamour failure, before we even knew we were only here in spirit... It feels much longer than a little more than a year since it all happened.

[slightlyoblivious]

It's hard to think that it's all going to be over soon.

[Yukiko holds up her left hand, watching as the ring she wears catches the light for a moment - just a moment, before the glamour flickers once, and she lowers it again.]

It really does. Between everything that happened and having a couple of months in there when I got sent home, it feels like so much longer than just one year.

*Enoch's attention is drawn to the ring's glint a moment. A token from Ryoji, no doubt. He considers telling her he wants to follow her, but she probably knows that already.*

...It's strange, but, even as horrible as this place was, I'll miss it somewhat.

[slightlyoblivious]

[Yukiko knows all too well. She's even asked him to go with her.]

...it was home to us all for a while, and we have memories here. It's not a surprise that you'd miss some parts of it.

[warriorscribe]

*He nods.* Even in the worst of places, or times...we find things to like. Perhaps Zo will visit our worlds after all of this.

[slightlyoblivious]

If nothing else, there are the breaks in between all of the bad things. The quiet times when we could smile with friends are precious memories for me.

[She nods.]

I'd like that, if he could. He deserves the chance to get to be a kid.

[warriorscribe]

He does...

*Ruana does, too. But he doubts there's any saving her now, with what she's done to her heart.*

It seems that whenever he tries, he's thwarted somehow. Things...things should be more fair to all of us when we fix everything.
