welp

Well...you tried. I thought we had it this time too, but I guess we should have counted more thoroughly. I mean, I'm not really upset over it. Things don't exactly last forever and sooner or later I have to go back. [He just wished he had a little more time]

It was good to see everyone again for the time I had there at least, and meeting my future successor was quite the experience! I'm really going to miss them all.

...Ahah, don't remind me about the memory part. [Let him cherish his memories without being reminded about reality, mun. Gosh.]

I'll miss you, too, Roku. [And he's kind of sad you're going to grow into a jerk now.] And I'm glad for all the time we got to have together.

[flameoroku]

[A smile] Thanks for being an awesome roommate. I'm sure you could do without the occasional snoring. And take good care of my glider all right?

I'll still be around here if anything. [...And about that future Roku jerk thing.] And I uh...hope things turn out all right for you at some point between us in the future.

[savedtheworld]

You're welcome. Thanks to you too, Roku. [He laughs and smiles back.] I might miss the snores just a little, too. Sometimes it helped me to think about things in the middle of the night.

I hope so, too, Roku. For... both of those things. Knowing you here in Luceti, it gives me hope that things can be better. That the Roku in my time... Maybe there's more of you left in him than it looks like.

[flameoroku]

My snoring helps you think? [What?]

...Well, he's still me in a sense, by like a hundred years or something. And a lot happened. I can't really agree with his suggestion, but I also can't...disagree with it. [Technically going through the betrayal he can understand why he would think ending Zuko was the best plan of action....even if Roku right now doesn't like the idea he even suggested it at all]

Not saying my future suggestion was a good idea or anything now, I just--I think things might be better once he sees the future you create. [He just stops there before he accidentally makes it worse]

[savedtheworld]

Well not the snoring itself, just that it keeps me up. Sometimes being awake in the middle of the night just makes it easier to think.

I... [He's really not sure how to respond to that part. He has a little bit of fear.] But he's your gra- [Decisive headshake.] Nevermind. I hope things'll be better, too. That we'll be able to see things the same way again. [And make they can share bunks again one day, in the Spirit World.]

Growing attached to a temporary home will only give you heartache. I know it's hard, but you must move forward. You will be stronger for it.

[flameoroku]

Well I'm going to forget it whether I want to or not. I just...never did properly say goodbye everyone, and that's what I regret really.

[whitespirit]

I know how that feels. (She closes her eyes, fighting back her own grief.) I wish I could comfort you.
