... This-- all of this is too cruel. [ Rather softly, as she beckons him closer. ]
I'll... try to see this through, properly. More than anything... I really want people to be okay. To get to go home, to get to be with whoever they want.
[He almost makes as if to pull away, but reconsiders, because he doesn't want to seem rude.]
Why would I? I'm practically like the demons you summon on your phone. When I die, I just go back into storage. Its not like I have a life, outside of summoning.
Wang Lu said that in his world, there was artifacts and stuff that could provide magical energy. [...] I think he wanted to find a way to make me stick around. So yeah. Maybe that would be possible.

[ Quietly.
She's radiating less anger but there is most certainly grief and misery and some self-loathing because this cyoa effect is a rude bitch. ]
no subject
Otome...you didn't have to do that...
no subject
But it was... the only thing I could think to do. [ She says this a little helplessly. ]
no subject
Otome...you almost died yesterday. You should be lookin' out for yourself...
no subject
[ Otome, please. ]
no subject
Don't you dare say somethin' like that ever again.
no subject
But she at least realizes that it's pissed him off, and she flinches, pressing her lips together tightly. ]
no subject
[His anger dies down slightly, and he just looks at her, heartbroken.]
I just lost two people I really cared for, Otome. [...] I don't want you to be the third.
no subject
[ She stares back at him, before tears slowly start trickling down her face. And, in a whisper-- ]
I'm sorry.
no subject
[Oh no.]
[He can't help it. His eyes also start watering with tears.]
[He feels guilty.]
You shouldn't apologize. I just...I just want you to keep goin'.
no subject
I don't know... what else I can do, for everyone. I-- don't really want to leave you.
[ She's just. Emotional. ]
no subject
[He's wiping at his eyes, but the tears keep coming.]
Wang Lu...he's here, and now he's gone, and I...I want to wake up from this dream, Otome. And I don't...want you to have to suffer through it.
no subject
I'll... try to see this through, properly. More than anything... I really want people to be okay. To get to go home, to get to be with whoever they want.
no subject
Yeah. I really agree with that. People have loved ones, where they come from. So do you. And I...would do everything in my power to make that happen.
[...]
All my loved ones are here. I have nothing to return back to.
no subject
... You don't have anyone at all? Anything?
[ She is so concerned?? ]
no subject
Why would I? I'm practically like the demons you summon on your phone. When I die, I just go back into storage. Its not like I have a life, outside of summoning.
no subject
... Is it such a guarantee that you'll die, if you return? What if you go somewhere else?
no subject
We're not like...completely physical beings. And even if I return, and I'm summoned again...all my memories of this place will be gone.

[He looks...crushed.]

me unable to tag this last night THROUGH MY TEARS
[ Hm. ]
GODDDDD
[But for now...]
We just have to focus on tomorrow, right?
no subject
[ With a bit of sorrow, but also conviction. ]
I'm sure we'll find the truth.
