on seeing old friends

[motherofnemesis]

 I know you miss playing me, but I liked it in your headspace. It's quiet. Nobody bothers me. 

I don't have to talk to people. 

And maybe you think it's kind to let me see him again, but it's not. It's not - it's more complicated than that, and it's more painful. And he shouldn't  - none of them should need to know about this. It's an aberrant timeline, it won't actually happen. You know that. There's no need for them to know about it.

It would be best if you just put me back away. Best for everyone. 



Also I do still have a sense of humor. It's just not as obvious as it used to be. Restraint isn't a bad thing.

You are petitioning for the peace of total obliteration?

Death is a steep price to pay for that.

[motherofnemesis]

It seems reasonable enough to me.

[hacktivist]

...It pains me to see you this way.

[motherofnemesis]

Sorry.



I said this was a bad idea.

[hacktivist]

Let revenge be your purpose. Just for now. Just until you--find...

Max.



Please.

[clement]

You are not responsible for those things.

[motherofnemesis]

That depends on your definition of responsibility.

[clement]

From what I understand, many of the factors of this situation were out of your control. You did the best that you could with what you were given.

[motherofnemesis]

My best wasn't good enough.

None of ours was.

[recurved]

Bullshit.

[motherofnemesis]

Which part?

[recurved]

All of it.

[motherofnemesis]

Why is everyone insulting my sense of humor today?

We need to know because we care about you.

[motherofnemesis]

... Hey. How are you?

[uneforgettable]

I keep myself busy.

[motherofnemesis]

I'm sure you do.

I'm sorry, you know. I'm - incredibly sorry.

[stillshinigami]

It means anything, I kinda miss you too.

[motherofnemesis]

[ side eyeing. people who make emotional attachments quickly, weird. ]

You do?

[stillshinigami]

Sure. Just wish we got to do more. Maybe I shoulda brought you along in that road trip.

Maybe with your powers you coulda fixed our CD issue. Got a CD stuck in the drive. Same tunes for half the trip.

[motherofnemesis]

But you barely knew me.

How can you miss someone you barely knew?
