[ she will shuffle a bit to reach her hands up to gently take a bit of their hair in hand. unless it's obvious they haven't been brushing. then I guess she will brush it. either way, a gentle touch. ] Only a few of us suffered on going through the refraction...
When I told Sunlight, he told me we have no control over what happens to our colors. What came of it... we can't really blame ourselves. [ a sad smile. ] It won't change we did hurt others because of it.
[ a light hum. ] I don't blame you though. Despite everything, you held on. That matters.
[ she will drop her hands after, leaving behind a small braid in their hair. ] One step forward now, right?
[ that's okay. she will spend any extra time brushing it out then!! clarte can have nice untangled hair. before she's adding little braids. ]
I am a bit worried about what will happen tomorrow but... as you said, together. We can handle it together. [ maybe wishful thinking. ] Hehe... it hasn't been very long since I last saw you, but I keep thinking how I missed you.
[ nice. ] They have, haven't they? I was still able to text our residents, and visit Sunlight but.. it wasn't as if we could visit everyone else.
[ ah, that reminds her. ]
Oh, I don't know if it was shared in the letters but, the backalley was actually made by Sunlight and Riff both! Which is when they began to lose their memories of each other the more they worked on it in the beginning..
And.. I'm sure you remember the graffiti art that started to appear after Kazuma and Ryunosuke died? And everyone else that died after? That was a project they more recently picked up.
[ she speaks fondly as per the norm when she speaks of Bass and Riff. ]
Hehe, it was. Even if it started as a project... I think it really helped everyone else here too. To remember.
[ but, that does remind her. ] ...They still don't have their names back though... I wonder what we can do to help them? They're stable, and remember a lot, but that's still missing.
[ it feels like they've gotten really close to figuring everything out but... just how much exactly? ]
[ at least dreamer is... probably ok with all those... eyes hanging around.. ]
Well, I only ever met Dreamer and Thinker. Ryunosuke would probably be able to tell you more. Their bodies weren't stable when I met them.. "ghost-like."
Dreamer is... I'm not sure. They felt like the researchers back home? Observing, calm... a bit hard to tell what they might be thinking.
Thinker was very kind though. It was almost like talking to Shale. They were patient, gentle with their suggestions and encouraging. They didn't want us to just cause destruction here.. it was their suggestion to try and transform things, and to have us encourage the other residents to want to go back home so we can all leave here.
Ah, but they don't like being called Thinker I heard. They prefer Momo or Ghost.
Dreamer seems pretty insistent on the destruction part, from what we know but... we already know it has to be more than that.
That we don't want to repeat what happened before. [ conflicting indeed.. ] I only really saw them on two occasions since I woke up on the other side so I don't know them as well as the others. Sorry.
That's okay. Even this much is helpful, so thank you, Meteion.
[a beat]
Besides trying to reach this side again, what did you all do over there, anyway? If I'd known that your resources were limited, I would've sent things over...
Well, we could make things on our own but... they didn't last very long. We could always remake things though.
We stayed in a "motel", and I know the others offered some color to Dreamer to create some locations too. The mall and the rainbow road.
[ hmmm ] Other than talk with the residents there, we mostly watched what was happening over here.
Ah, though... last Friday we did have a group come back from one of those strange trips. I'm not too sure what it was about but... Chang Geng, Wicked, November and Chinatsu were the ones that came back from it.

sometimes, it's almost odd to know that they have a beating heart in their chest—as if it's something they shouldn't.]
... I'm a little used to losing control. [so in a way, the thought doesn't horrify them.] But I am sorry for the people I hurt.
no subject
I'm sure most know you're sorry... [ more quietly ] It still doesn't feel good, to lose control.
no subject
No, it doesn't. I won't argue with that.

For now, let's enjoy the memories while we can.
[before things possibly go to hell.]
I missed you a lot too. These weeks have felt very long.

Marigold told me once and asked me to keep it a secret. It was very thoughtful of him and Riff, wasn't it?

Mm-hmm... also, the other residents aren't with you? We thought they were with you on the other side...
no subject
But after Dreamer retrieved their journal, and we gave Ghost-- Thinker, their item back, we stopped seeing them.
[ It's a bit weird? ]
no subject
[maybe they're in the pizza zone]
Can I ask what they were all like?

Momo or Ghost... Got it. [...] The residents over here seem to have conflicted feelings about Dreamer. I'd liked to have met them for myself...

[especially if y'all might not have had pods.]

Their injuries were really bad but... I think Chang Geng said slowly they were all healing, but they healed the fastest inside Applebee's.
no subject
no subject
[ thinks on it. ] We spent all day in it when we were watching trial... so by now they should already be fully healed, I think.
Oh, remember the places we saw when we first arrived in the prism? They are over on that side. The mansion, the laboratory...
