... For me as well...?

... Does anyone else find it suspicious that even those who no longer exist have died in their worlds received these letters as well?

You're dead too?

[koko_ni_iru]

...Not really. My existence was... destroyed.

[broken_messiah]

...
... isn't that the same as dying?

[koko_ni_iru]

[Shakes head] My existence was destroyed by assimilation... but I believe that I can recreate it again, one day.

[broken_messiah]

... assimilation?

[koko_ni_iru]

In my world there are beings called Festum. They wished for everything to return to one existence, to nothingness. Assimilation is the process whereby a Festum absorbs an existence into their own and makes that existence the same as their own... which means that that other existence would no longer exist.

[broken_messiah]

So you are... were part of a Festum before coming here?

[koko_ni_iru]

...No. The assimilation process was stopped before then... But by that time my body was already past the point of stable existence.

[broken_messiah]

I see. So, if you go back, the process would be completed and your existence would be assimilated?

[koko_ni_iru]

[A humourless smile] Mn.

[broken_messiah]

Not exactly something to go back to as well.

But, I'm sure this will just turn out to be another false promise.

[koko_ni_iru]

...True.

...You're dead in your world too?

[broken_messiah]

Yes.

[koko_ni_iru]

...It seems that there are plenty of those like us here.

[broken_messiah]

There are...

[Soft sigh. A short silence. Then:] ...I'm Minashiro Soushi.
