I have a question.

[Simba pauses.]

When you're lost, where do you go to be found?

[jewelofthesands]

That's quite a question with no succinct answer.

[gonnabeamighty]

I'm starting to realize that.

[Sigh.]

[jewelofthesands]

No, I mean literally. I'm not sure what you mean by it. [Chuckles.] Although I understand the emotion and what you probably meant.

What do you mean, "lost"? And "found". Are you wanting someone to find you?

[gonnabeamighty]

Oh.

[He pauses a minute to word his response carefully. It's hard to ask clear questions when you're not even sure of what you're asking.]

I know what I have to do. But it means I have to face something terrible that I've done. How am I supposed to do that?

[There, he thinks that's right.]

[jewelofthesands]

[Ahhh. Nabooru clucks her tongue and pauses to think.]

Exactly how you're probably thinking you should do it. As for gathering up the will to do it - I think that's what you've got a problem with, right?

Sometimes we are shoved into situations we don't want to be in. But even a rat will chew off its own paw to escape a trap. It won't set-up shop and live there, no matter how much it wants to keep its paw.

[gonnabeamighty]

[Another sigh.]

So I have to face it. No matter how much I don't want to...[Small laugh.] I've been running from it for so long. But you're right. It's time to stop running.

[jewelofthesands]

That's the spirit. I can't give you too much real advice, but remember, living your life running from whatever it is that's haunting you is no way to live.
