[fiddlestick]

Yeah! Until noon tomorrow.

[lingeringwill]

kinda sucks to not be picked and hold down the fort, but whatever

I have a question for you, if you have a few minutes

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I can imagine. I think they made a mistake, you'd be really useful out there.

[When has bringing Terra along to fight darkness ever been a bad plan???]

Sure! What's up?

[lingeringwill]

How do you think eren would feel if you went back to being a sleeper?

[fiddlestick]

Huh?

[There's a pause. That's a heavy question]

Well, I can't really speak for him but...
He'd be pretty upset, I'd imagine.

[lingeringwill]

What about the reverse?

Would you be able to keep dating him if one day and entire part of him just disappeared?

[fiddlestick]

I would.

I mean, it might be a little hard but...
I've known Eren for years
I liked him before we'd ever heard of Retrospec.
So even if we forgot some stuff, we still have years of memories together.

Though...I know that's not the case for everyone.

[lingeringwill]

You know, before I met Minako, I didn't have anybody. And for a while, it was just her.

Then this app happened, and all of a sudden I have so many new friends because of it...

I feel like losing the thing that connects me to all of these people
I dont know
It scares me

Feels kinda like dying, and i have no idea how or when it'll happen, but it could

Alison, aria, so many people close to me, it feels like i can't live in the same world as them, like we're split into two sides of the same house

Ugh

Sorry elliot

[fiddlestick]

Terra...

You don't have to apologize.
I do get what you mean.
Even if I'm not worried about losing Eren...sometimes I do worry about everyone else.
Eren's really an exception to the rule.

But...
I can't speak for your relationships with Alison or Aria but...
Even if I became a sleeper, you wouldn't lose me.
If anything, if I lost all my powers and became who I was before...
I'd need a big brother-type to look after me more than ever.
I was pretty pathetic before all this.

[lingeringwill]

I'll take care of you

I just wonder

If it happens to me
Forgetting everything all of a sudden

Am I even still alive?

Was I ever alive to begin with?

[fiddlestick]

Of course you are.
My brother left the app, and he's still very alive.
He just doesn't notice some things.
Which if I'm honest, might be for the best.

But if you didn't know anyone besides Minako before the app
I could see why it feels like a death.
Since the memories with the app was the foundation of everything.
Right?

[lingeringwill]

ugh this is so fucking unlike me, i hate it

yeah, like that

I can't prove that i was ever actually alive before the app
How can i prove that anything thats ever happened to me was actually real? In a world of nonsense where our city is the only thing that exists

We're the souls of the lost or whatever, right?

Maybe losing the app means losing your soul, your very existence

Off-app, I'm just a husk, nothing, my consciousness doesn't actually exist anymore––its a robot that looks like me and talks like me but isnt me

[fiddlestick]

[Okay that? Steps on a nerve to Elliot]

You're wrong Terra.
My brother's soul isn't gone. Retrospec even said when people go off the app, their souls have just fallen out of alignment a little.
But they're still there! I'm sure of it.

My brother's not a husk or a robot.
Neither are the people you knew that fell off the app, and neither would you be.
I can understand why it feels like a death of a relationship with all the memories gone
And maybe it is that sometimes.
But they're not dead.

Besides...you say you can't prove anything that happened to you in this world was real
If that's true, how can you prove anything that happened to you in that other life was real either?

[lingeringwill]

Maybe nothing is real

Cheers, elliot

I'll talk to you later

Sorry for the weird questions

[fiddlestick]

[ :C ]

That's not what I meant. You're real.
I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize, Terra.
It sounds like you have a lot on your mind.

Hey, I'm making a bunch of food today if you want some.
I even know how to make magic gelato now.

[lingeringwill]

It's okay to be mad at me, elliot

You don't have to fall back on offering baked goods to defuse the tension

[fiddlestick]

I'm not mad at you.
Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I'm mad.

If anything, I'm worried about you.
It sounds like your thoughts are in a pretty dark place.

[lingeringwill]

is being in a dark place so bad?

You know...perspective...

You don't have to worry about me
I can figure things out my own way

[fiddlestick]

It can be.
Because it can tell you stuff that SOUNDS true
But it isn't.
