I can't keep hiding like this. I'll make my decision. I'll just make it and then I won't have to think about it any longer.

[Filter: Mia]

How are you doing? You're adjusting well?

[Filter: Assassin's Guild and Occupants]

There's stew in the kitchen, if anyone would like some.

Horribly.

It doesn't matter anyway, really. I'm just biding my time, now.

[Filter: Mia]

[breaksowell]

Horribly? It's not so bad here... It's better than the alternatives.

Is there anything I can do to help?

[Filter: Siri]

[marleneonthewal]

It's not the place, it's me. It's okay. Don't worry about it, Siri.

I don't really care anymore.

[Filter: Mia]

[breaksowell]

I- Alright.

About anything?

[Filter: Siri]

[marleneonthewal]

Not really, no.

There's no point in caring. I'm already dead, you understand. It's just a matter of time.

[Filter: Mia]

[breaksowell]

Oh. It must be hard to say something like that...

[Filter: Siri]

[marleneonthewal]

It's fairly easy, actually.

It's only words.

I'm already dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Already dead.

It gets easier every time.

[Filter: Mia]

[breaksowell]

It's not the same thing. It's not a real death.

[pause]

You said you wouldn't kill yourself.

[Filter: Siri]

[marleneonthewal]

Mm.

I suppose it's a lie, then. Because this is death.

This person that I am will cease to be. She will be dead. They're calling it Rebirth for a reason, Siri. You die. You're born again as somebody new, but you die.

[Filter: Mia; Ayothayan]

[breaksowell]

You said you wouldn't...

[Filter: Siri]

[marleneonthewal]

I won't.

The book will.
