I can't imagine getting so upset over what happens here. It might not be real. [He idly flips a page.] My theory is that all of this is a strange dream.

[Briefly, he looks up from his book, one eyebrow cocked.] One day, it will end and we will "go home." [Yes, he does demonstrate the air quotes.]Until then, try to breathe and rise above the

Your theory is incorrect.

[And he is completely unapologetic about saying so.]

Acting as though nothing here matters is just as foolish as overreaction.

How do you know that?

[Raikou isn't exactly religious. In any sense.]

I'd say reacting to everything as if the world is ending is a foolish overreaction.

Many reasons, including that there are beings here who have abilities related to dreams and it is simple enough to tell.

[Including himself, at least formerly. He's entirely certain this isn't a dream, even if it probably is impossible to prove definitively.]

I have witnessed the world ending, and those here usually don't act in such a way. Reaction to events that occur is valid, however.

That doesn't mean they can't be tricked.

[Thus the problem.]

Showing your emotions; getting attached to people who could die at any moment doesn't do anyone any good. Why should I support that line of thinking?

That won't change much.

I've seen chaos.

I'd rather not experience it here.

[sauceytomato]

Sorry, none of this is a dream.

Reality is a little different for everyone anyway- but some of us have spent months and years here. It would make no sense not to be invested, Mr. Raikou.

[... and unless they're mistaken, they haven't spoken yet. Al has remembered his name, but he sometimes forgets whether people remember him. Unintentional creeping is go.]

[drivenbyblood]

You make a good point. [It doesn't bother him.] It'll wear you down.

[bloodseal_soul]

If this were a dream, I'd be able to effect it more, I'm sure.

One could say, of course, that nothing is permanent, in this place, and consequently nothing holds true impact. However, I would have to strongly disagree.
