do you ever question why they brought you here?

what have you learned, since?

has it been worthwhile?

Comments

[ontrial]

Maybe. I'm afraid that if I do go back, I won't remember to know better. Or I won't remember until it's too late. Nothing would have been learned.

[fuga]

that is out of your control.
if you do what you can while you are here then you must have done enough.

[ontrial]

I hope that's the case.

But what about you? What have you learned? Why are you here?

[fuga]

i am here to learn my own nature.
i have discovered my curse, and how to break it.
that is enough.

[ontrial]

That sounds important. I'm glad that you have.

[fuga]

it is something that matters to me and no one else.
i do not know if i will remember when i return to my world.
i do not know if i wish to remember.

[ontrial]

But if breaking this curse will improve your life, wouldn't you want to remember?

[fuga]

breaking the curse will creating something far more difficult to bear.
i will be free, but the cost will be great, and i shall lose myself.
would you wish to remember?

[ontrial]

I suppose that would depend on the impact of the curse if it's never broken. I imagine it's heavy, but sometimes difficult things must be done for the sake of improvement.

Maybe you wouldn't really lose yourself.

[fuga]

i know of my curse.
i know the price.
i must simply learn to live with it.

[ontrial]

Then I hope you find the strength to do just that. If you must be cursed, find the way to make the best of it.

[fuga]

that is all i can hope for.
and hope is wavering.

[ontrial]

Would anything help to strengthen you?

[fuga]

nothing that any would be willing to give.

[ontrial]

Some people are more willing to give than others.

[fuga]

kindness and insanity are two different things.

[ontrial]

But people do insane things in the name of kindness all the time.

[fuga]

i am unlikely to be convinced.

[ontrial]

At home, before I took the path I've taken in some of my friends' pasts, I was a Healer. I just want you to know that I don't have to know you at all to promise that I would help you if I could.

[fuga]

if it were possible to heal what ails me then i would accept that kindness.

[ontrial]

Is it possible? Has anyone tried? I rely upon the Force, I don't know if any other Healer's methods would be the same as my own.

[fuga]

i have tried.
my adoptive family tried.
i have read tomes and texts and studied for years.
there is nothing.

[ontrial]

I'd still like to try. You can't be without hope.

[fuga]

i have long forgotten the taste of hope.

[ontrial]

Then I'll just have to have hope for you.
