[ week 3, wednesday ]

[Jae-ha isn't in his usual spirits today for some reason! Weird. There's no odd bounce in his step, no hum of amusement, no vague smile like he's always just getting a kick out of watching everyone else.

Rather, he's going to find Rebecca rather stubbornly.]

Ah - dear Rebecca? Can I borrow your time for a moment?

Comments

[alttitude]

[can you believe that's the saddest thing he's heard about another world]

... you must come from very troubled times.

[disclosures]

[While we have actual murderer Goro Akechi?!]

It's just how life is. Besides, when whoever stays alive goes home? There's no way they'll stick together.

Better to be used to it.

[alttitude]

... you're very frank, dear Rebecca.

[disclosures]

Why shouldn't I be? If you try and sugarcoat it and lie, that makes everything worse in the end. Happily ever after doesn't exist.

[alttitude]

- that got very extreme!

[disclosures]

[She gives him a very strange look.]

No it didn't. Life doesn't end in happy endings! There's so much after the end of those stories. In the end the characters in the stories have to die because that's how humans are.

[alttitude]

... do you think living forever is a happier ending?

[disclosures]

No. I don't believe happy endings exist. At all.

[alttitude]

.... I hope something happens to change your mind.

[disclosures]

I used to believe in them. The longer I'm alive the less I believe they exist.

Anyway, you wanted to talk about... What were we talking about? [Rebecca!!]
