043: Voice; It's not even light out

[only_fell]

It's amazing the capacity humans have for selfishness. Although to be fair I suppose it's not exclusively a human emotion.

And no matter how aware we are that we shouldn't feel an emotion it's still there.

I'm feeling very selfish right now and I don't want to apologize for it.

Even if I should.

There's nothing wrong with any of what you said. It's all normal stuff, I think.

[only_fell]

Perhaps. A friend of mine went home and I very selfishly want him to return to the City even though I know he's got a life with people who care about him at home.

[eccentric_ox]

Yep. I can relate. Same with me.

[only_fell]

That's...actually a relief. I suppose I don't feel as badly when I know I'm not the only one.

I don't believe we've met. I'm Inara Serra.

[eccentric_ox]

Yeah. It's a difficult thing to deal with, knowing you should be happy for them, but... yeah.

I'm Hatsuharu Sohma. It's nice to meet you.

[only_fell]

Precisely. My mourning is more for what I have lost than for what he has gained. Hence the label of selfish.

A pleasure to meet you as well. Have you resided here long, Mr. Sohma?

[eccentric_ox]

Mm.

Yeah, I've been here about 3 years.

[only_fell]

I would imagine you've seen a lot of people go home.

[eccentric_ox]

I definitely have. It never gets easier.

[only_fell]

I'm not sure whether I find that comforting or not.

[eccentric_ox]

I'm not sure of which it is myself.

[only_fell]

I suppose yet another way I should feel 'normal' in regards to this.
