...And I assume there were others like you, too. [Who needed that place, beyond anything, as a chance to survive.] That virtual world was everything to you.
Listen, I'm only going to say this once: I know I'm pissed off all the time but this was different. I have no idea what was going on, but the second I saw him it was like my entire world went red. But not because I wanted it to. Whether or not you wanna believe me, that's what happened.
[She listens...and then nods, understanding. This place...twisting people's feelings, twisting people themselves, like pretzels, and now they have to deal with the consequences.]

[But that does outline everything - she nods at all of it, expression unchanging.]
Are you okay with the fact that your other self chose execution?
no subject
The funniest part? None of you went and told her everything about the execution last week.
I hope you all feel every ounce of pain I’ve felt for the first seventeen years of my life.
no subject
Will that make you feel any different about your own pain? Will it alleviate it?
no subject
I’ve gotten over it.
[ Yeah, that’s a lie. ]
no subject
[She doesn't care. She's blunt and will call it out.]
no subject
Doesn’t matter if I have or not anymore.
no subject
no subject
What’s the point of this conversation when I’m dyin’ soon anyway?
no subject
Sometimes its best to just be honest with yourself before you die. [...] I didn't get a whole chance with that, myself.
no subject
[ You're gonna get to see what chances she has. They're so similar! ]
Some of you guys gotta understand that there's some people in this world who will stay broken no matter what.
no subject
And yet they still live, despite everything. Being broken doesn't mean you can't survive in this bitter world.
no subject
Totally livin' it up as just a barely breathing piece of meat, you know.
no subject
[Her eyes...widen.]
A broken spine...?
no subject
That's why I was so hellbent on making sure those virtual worlds wouldn't be destroyed.
no subject
...And I assume there were others like you, too. [Who needed that place, beyond anything, as a chance to survive.] That virtual world was everything to you.
no subject
It, and me, will all disappear soon.
no subject
I wish it didn't have to be like this. I don't just wish, honestly. I hate that it had to be like this. For the both of you.
no subject
Shit happens.
Listen, I'm only going to say this once: I know I'm pissed off all the time but this was different. I have no idea what was going on, but the second I saw him it was like my entire world went red. But not because I wanted it to. Whether or not you wanna believe me, that's what happened.
It was like Kazuma.

I believe you. Thank you for telling me.
no subject
[ She waves a hand. ]
That’s all you wanted, right? Leave already before I get pissed off.
no subject
[A little huff of a sigh.]
Do you need anything before tomorrow? As far as little things.
no subject
[ CAFFEINE but I’m kidding ]
Nope. Can’t think of anything I need or want — I think the look on all your faces will be enough as I’m shipped off to hell or whatever.
