What cruel deception, to offer something so vital as the completion of my very being yet to only provide a link more thoroughly broken than even Rubedo had managed and to take away something likewise vital to the existence of any natural being. This lack of pain is an unexpected and altogether cruel price upon what I presume to be the promise that

Albedo? ...What's happened, are you all right? Did you go to the Post Office?

Fine and yet not. For returning a power that's as of yet useless in it's incompleteness, they saw fit to rob me of the sweet sensation of pain.

You...can't feel pain after your visit to the Post Office? [Her mind tries to process why this would be a problem, and she quickly comes to a wrong conclusion. Plenty of time to correct her later.]

Would this...Rubedo...go to the post office for his half of the power?

At least not from the wounds I dare inflict upon this mortal body.

*A pause.* Rubedo and I have a unique bond, but I have no certainty that he would deem the ability to share thoughts with me to be worth whatever cost it may bring. He broke off the link with me once already, so long ago.

Perhaps with time, but I would have been better ensuring that Rubedo would gain the other half as well than to ignore something usable now in favor of that which I might gain in completion at another time.
