☂ 010; forever was too good to be true

[is_an_island]

So it seems that everybody has returned. More or less, I mean. It's over, isn't it? I mean... Is everybody all right?

... But now that it's over, it'll be nice to get some decent sleep. Been tired lately, all that--but I'm sure tomorrow is a better day.

...How's your family doing?

[is_an_island]

A bit worried about my daughter, but they're all back in good shape.

Yours?

[personajesus]

I'm glad.

They seem fine.

[is_an_island]

Everybody else you know doing--doing all right?

[personajesus]

I think so.

...Asura's been quiet lately. But that started before this happened.

[is_an_island]

Your friend?

[personajesus]

Kind of.

[is_an_island]

I'm sure everything will be all right.

Though your name on that list did give me quite a fright.

[personajesus]

...Sorry.

[is_an_island]

What are you apologising for?

[personajesus]

Scaring you.

[is_an_island]

But it wasn't your fault that your name got up on there.

[personajesus]

Mm. ...still.

[is_an_island]

... You're a good lad.

But you don't need to be so kind anymore. It's all over and done with, and you're safe and sound.

[personajesus]

...Yeah. It is.

[he really hadn't thought he'd make it through that one. the date, the deaths, it seemed too much of a coincidence.

he was glad it was over.]

[is_an_island]

... Relieved?
