Game 047 [Written] - That Which Doesn't Kill Me, Though it Sure is Trying

Nov 21, 2011 00:47

[ The camera is covered, but Joshua is making no real effort to disguise his handwriting. He's too upset for that. ]

What should you do if you're so homesick you honestly, truly cannot stand it?

[ A few minutes later, the following is added. ]

[ Locked to Haruhi - 100% ]

The friendship club might have to wait a bit longer.

#written, serious question for once, 『luka megurine』, it's funny what you miss, would be awkward if josh did awkward, 『jason st. andrews』, when in doubt shut down emotions, this is serious business, almost lost shibuya once already, not telling people things, 『portgas d. ace』, 『mewtwo』, 『haru(k/h)i suzumiya』, 『shiki misaki』, 『nodoka miyazaki』

[That's... Definitively something serious. And she understands the feeling, she's not yet terribly homesick but the feeling is there. For a girl who has never been away from her family or her city, even just a month is far too long. Of course, she wouldn't dare to compare her experience to this person's experience, that would be rude and arrogant.]

I'm really sorry to read that. I suppose that asking the Malnosso to let you return even for a bit would be a naive idea, right? And if you're homesick, doing new things won't help either...

[She thinks, trying to find a solution. A way to be home without being home, to see again those places one once saw back home... An idea comes to mind, it won't be the same but...]

It probably won't be the same but have you tried the Battle Dome? I went there once and Adell programmed it to simulate a world he had seen there, it wasn't real but it felt real. The breeze, the scent carried by it, the feeling of the cold stone against my hands... I knew it wasn't real but if I stopped thinking about it, it felt pretty real.

If they haven't sent me home by now, I doubt they'd do it at this point.

I don't know if the Battle Dome will make things better or worse. What I'm missing isn't something I'd believe it capable of replicating.

Can it really get any worse?

I've seen many driven to suicide over feelings of loss. As long as I haven't reached that point, I know there is still worse.

Don't people return to life here after a week? I read so in the guide, suicide over feelings of loss or any other feelings would be pointless.

But even if you don't know if it will get worse that way, won't it get worse for sure if you let things be?

Suicide here is as pointless as anything else. Though it is not without penalty.

Of course it will get worse. But slower is always preferable to faster.

Not always. But that's your choice.

I'm sorry I can't think of anything of help.

You don't need to worry about it. Thank you for trying.

I know I don't need to, but I can't help it. I'm also homesick, even if not as much as you are yet. If I can't help you, I won't be able to help myself either.

I'm sorry.
