If you lost something precious, how far would you go to get it back? Even if it's precious because of what it does, as long as it's something you need, it counts.

[...]

It really doesn't count if the precious thing is a person

Something precious to you can never truly be lost.

[text]

[zealouspeter]

It can be destroyed or taken away.

[text]

[ibreakrules]

Are you talking about a person?

[text]

[zealouspeter]

No.

An item.

[text]

[ibreakrules]

That's a little different then.

[text]

[zealouspeter]

[mrpf!] Really different.

It can be lost, like that?

[text]

[ibreakrules]

Depends on the item.

[Will just be vague and annoying because he can be]

[text]

[zealouspeter]

Why's that?

[text]

[ibreakrules]

Because an item can be considered many things, as can the reason why it's so precious.

[text]

[zealouspeter]

The reasons don't matter too much in this situation. Whether it means the end of the literal world or not, it could feel like losing the world when it's gone.

And an item is a solid. So it can be destroyed, can't it?

[text]

[ibreakrules]

An item doesn't have to be solid.

What possible "solid," if that's what you think an item is, is that important?

[text]

[zealouspeter]

An heirloom, maybe. Or a dead wife's ring. A missing husband's car. Something that you gained after years of toil.

Or perhaps it's just what you think is the prettiest thing in the world, and only you should have it. Those reasons all make it important enough.

[text]

[ibreakrules]

The person is what makes it important, not the object itself.

[text]

[zealouspeter]

If the object's destroyed, then the person that was behind it feels lost, too.

[text]

[ibreakrules]

Person that was behind it?

[zealouspeter]

The sentimental part, mister-miss!
