[wildnight]

More time to be hurt again, too.

[immoetality]

That is your choice.

[wildnight]

Not a choice I asked for.

[immoetality]

That doesn't mean you can deny that it is there.

[wildnight]

I can't deny it, no...

[immoetality]

So, something must be done with it. If you're going to be at all reasonable.

[wildnight]

I don't want to be reasonable. I want my children back.

[immoetality]

Then, get them back.

[wildnight]

I can't.

[just... so many memories of killing her kids recently]

[immoetality]

You can't? You of all people? It sounds like you're the person in your own way, not anyone else.

[wildnight]

Death is in my way.

[except... you know... with Sieh. and you and Oz]

[immoetality]

And death is completely binding here.

[wildnight]

...Only one of them is here.

[immoetality]

The other?

[wildnight]

Others... I had many.

[immoetality]

It would still be cutting off your nose to spit your face.

[wildnight]

[sighs]

...Perhaps.

[immoetality]

I don't have miracles for you. Only truths, Shade.

[wildnight]

I did not expect you to fix anything. I only...

[immoetality]

Want what you can't have. But what you have already can be lost through greed.

[wildnight]

I miss you.

[immoetality]

Then, you'll remember to visit when you wander off. You can't forget those that live in your time.

[wildnight]

[quiet for a long moment after that]

[immoetality]

You won't go alone.

[wildnight]

[sighs, but smiles faintly]

No, not alone.
