Finished Earthbound, now on to Mother 3

[sleeplessgenius]

[Blush.] I-I'm gonna plea the fifth on my feelings about Tony's letter. What I said is what I meant, a-and the rest is for Tony's ears and eyes only.

As for Porky...you keep telling me we didn't have the energy, so we couldn't stop him. I can't help but feel responsible for his escape and all the harm it could bring.

I guess we will have to see how things go in the next game...

My mun wanted me to give you this to give to your mun.

[Have a box of tissues.]

the noise I just made wasn't human

[sleeplessgenius]

[!!!]

Ah! It's you!

Thank you... [Hands off the tissues to his sniffling mun.] It's...already started...I'm sorry.

Mother 3 don't mess around.

[pullsneedles]

Yeah... It's.... it's all a lot.

Thanks.

It don't. :<

[Hair ruffle for Lucas. Jeff's a little more reserved than Paula. She probably would have hugged him.]

[pullsneedles]

[That brings out a small smile. It still weighs heavy on Lucas's mind sometimes but it's been a while since the events in question.]

My mun feels the same way your mun does about what happened at the end of your game, by the way. You guys did your best. 's all anyone can ask anybody t'do.

[sleeplessgenius]

Still...it's as that one saying goes "Your head knows, your heart doesn't". Knowing we gave it our all until the end doesn't always absolve us.

[Smiles are good! The Sky Runner runs on smiles! Have a little smile from Jeff as well.] I think how you feel matters as well, Lucas.

[pullsneedles]

Yeah, that's true...

But you still did really good! You guys even saved the world! It don't take away Porky getting away but it's somethin' to be happy about!

[Encouraging Lucas is Encouraging. His friends at Milliways help out with that.]

[sleeplessgenius]

[He sighs softly. Maybe he is a little encouraged.] Well. I will try to be a little easier on myself, if that's the case.

[pullsneedles]

Good.

When I started making friends in Milliways, they told me not t'be so hard on myself. So now I get to do the same for you.

[Well really, they told him he wasn't a crybaby. But same thing!]

[sleeplessgenius]

It's sound advice. It's just harder to follow it than it is to give it.

I'm glad you can buck up as well.

[pullsneedles]

Yeah. I mean, I guess it's kinda like how Duster has a limp: it never goes away but you learn to live with it. So there's still good times, y'know?

[sleeplessgenius]

I can dig it. [Pushes his glasses back up.] Smiles and tears are always there, but I think as a whole this world is a pretty good place.

[pullsneedles]

I think so, too. And there's always people like us in it.
