♘ The Twenty-First Move.

[Emil's out enjoying the weather; in the end, he decided not to go on the exploration trip. Watching all the animals out and about reminds him of all the young monsters he made pacts with back in Aselia.]

I wonder how everyone's doing back home...

[Oh hey, it's his fan.]

There's no point in worrying about it too much.

[eightpacts]

Hu-Huh?

[A bit shocked, he didn't think anyone could hear that. A bit more surprised, it's Decus who heard it. He shuffles a bit.]

Yeah...I know. I just can't help but think about it sometimes.

[love_alice_chan]

From what I heard, time stops in our worlds while we're gone, so it's not like anything has changed there.

[eightpacts]

True...and it's not too bad here either. Well...putting losses and world changes aside.

[love_alice_chan]

I could do without the losses, but the rest of it isn't half-bad. I wouldn't mind having ghosts to wait on me back at home.

[eightpacts]

They're still a bit creepy though, being ghosts and all. But they fit in with the surroundings well, and I guess that's really what matters the most in the end.

[love_alice_chan]

So what would you rather have instead?

[eightpacts]

Instead of ghosts? I...don't really know.

[pauses a bit]

Maybe something less intimidating?

[love_alice_chan]

You mean something small and fluffy, like a cotton tail?
