♕ |[65]| Some are plain lucky-- we ourselves among them

[had_not_lived]

I'm always glad to see this, but it's a doubly welcome change from the past week. I didn't really try to leave the City while it was... moving, I suppose you could say, but from everything I read and saw on the Network it didn't seem like the other worlds were any safer than the City

I'm sure you have plenty of stories to share, regardless.

[had_not_lived]

I do, of course, but telling them isn't as easy as I'd hoped.

It's good to see you back here, Yuuko.

[moresake]

Stories have a life of their own, and they want to be told in such particular ways.

And it's nice to see you've stayed, Neil.

[had_not_lived]

I don't plan on ever leaving.

It's funny how hard it is, figuring out the right way to tell a story. I'm a better reader, a better speaker of other people's words, than a writer myself.

[moresake]

A good plan, I think, although forever is an uncertain place.

That's probably because you don't quite believe that what you have to say matters as much. It does, you know.

[had_not_lived]

I don't think that's it; it's just that some things-- all the things I'd want to write about-- are too big, too important and beautiful, to be put into words.

[moresake]

Well, someone has to do it for posterity! I think you're a good choice.

[had_not_lived]

Oh, well, it's not just me! We're trying to get more people involved, it just seems sensible to start with a smaller group, to set some examples.

[moresake]

Are you going to compile a book?

[had_not_lived]

We hope so!
