Things To Think About

Community settle something for me.

A mid-range lv 20 guild has asked me to join up with them, but I really don't want to let them know that I'm higher level. Should I? I mean, it's a guild of all real life friends. I feel like I'd be getting in the way...

... Gah. And the promise you made keeps you from fading. I can't imagine that being reborn as someone else would give you any satisfaction.

If I can't do that one thing, I don't think I'm going to be able to. There's still a chance I'm going to get stuck again.

[dual_wield_hax]

Stuck in the afterlife, or stuck where you are?

[tenminutes]

Stuck just existing. It doesn't matter where. I don't want to die or disappear, but it's something that I have to do. My time's been up for a while and even if I can keep that promise, there's no happy ending after that if I stay. If I can't fulfill it, I don't think I'm going to be able to forgive myself again.

[dual_wield_hax]

Just existing. It sounds hard to do, striking a balance between what you all have to do. But good luck on it. It sounds like it works.

[tenminutes]

Mhm. So don't get too attached, got it?

[dual_wield_hax]

Fine fine, if you say so. [He so totally is going to worry about her. No doubt about that.]

[tenminutes]

[ At least she didn't wait until it was going to happen to tell him. ]

Until then, I'm going to see what I can do to help.

[dual_wield_hax]

Thanks. I'm sure Suguha feels the same.

[tenminutes]

What was your life like before you got stuck?

[ She doesn't feel bad asking since she doesn't think he's going to be someone who has serious problems he can't talk about. ]

An endless cycle of video games, kendo practice and school. I kind of do so-so in school. Video games, MMOs in particular were my kind of thing.

[tenminutes]

Pretty mundane then? I remember that. I didn't really play games though.

[dual_wield_hax]

Pretty mundane. I did average in school, but I hacked records a few years to check something.

[tenminutes]

You hacked records? What are you, some kind of spy?

[dual_wield_hax]

I wanted to know who my real mom was.

[tenminutes]

[ Oh. Yuri doesn't say anything for a few seconds. ]

That's a good reason.

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. I was raised by my uncle and aunt, and Suguha's my cousin, but we're trying to remain as a regular family.

[tenminutes]

Do you care about them like they're your real family?

[dual_wield_hax]

I do. I'm just terrible at expressing it.

[tenminutes]

If you care about them that way, then they are that way. That's all.

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah that's true. Thanks.
