Comments

[nachetanya]

What stopped it from reaching an end?

[transmittable]

it probably had one. i just never found it out. we weren't super close. we just talked every so often.

[nachetanya]

That makes sense. I couldn't tell you most of the stories of the others.

[transmittable]

i like to think she got to live happily ever after.

it's a bit more idealistic than i feel but you need that sometimes.

[nachetanya]

That does seem more optimistic than you usually are.

[transmittable]

i'm sure that's not how it happened. but sometimes i like to trick myself.

why did you message me? there has to be some other reason.

[nachetanya]

By the end of the night, I think it's obvious that I'll talk with most anyone who needs to be spoken to. But I felt that should include you.

I don't really have any complex reason this time.

[transmittable]

[ Another thirty seconds delay. ]

you really just wanted to talk huh?

[nachetanya]

It seems so. Strange, isn't it?

[transmittable]

you did say it yourself.

you're my friend.

[nachetanya]

I did. I've never had many friends, though.

[transmittable]

it's been awhile since i've had many. only the risen, after all.

[nachetanya]

The Risen are you friends?

[transmittable]

oh god no.

[ ... ]

maybe once, almost. a few of them. they were just the only people i was around for a long while.

[nachetanya]

You really aren't just seventeen, are you?

[transmittable]

i still feel seventeen. i still look seventeen. just a really fucking tired seventeen.

[nachetanya]

I suppose I have room to talk, in another era than the one I was born into, I'd look like a very certain eighteen year old

[ Read certain as jaded ]

[transmittable]

yeah where i'm from you'd be an outlier. teenagers are supposed to be dumb kids having fun with their lives before going off to figure what they're supposed to do.

we'd both be pretty out of place.

[nachetanya]

That sounds like Osomatsu's description of his world and expectations. School only to go to school again and only becoming an adult after all of *that*.

[transmittable]

that's about right.

[nachetanya]

That can't help but sound silly to me, I'm sorry

[transmittable]

don't have to apologize. i've never been too invested in all that.

[nachetanya]

Well your likes do ironically include "individuality."

[transmittable]

they do. the reasons for which i think should be obvious.

[nachetanya]

Well, you did chose to be part of a collective.
