I think I prefer my world.

[onlyanapple]

Eh, most people do, by default.

[shamisens]

They do?

[onlyanapple]

In my experience, anyway.

[shamisens]

[ Now he wonders. ]

I haven't felt that way. I mean, I kind of miss it but not that much.

[onlyanapple]

You don't?

[shamisens]

The villagers were always nice to me, but I was an outsider. I didn't live with them.

[onlyanapple]

Just you on your own, then?

[Ugh, he's starting to CARE again.]

[shamisens]

[ His smile is bittersweet. ]

Just me.

[onlyanapple]

[Yep. Here he goes. Pulling into Caring Station.]

Oh. Well.

...That's depressing.

[shamisens]

Why?

[onlyanapple]

Well. Being alone. That's just...well, kind of sad, isn't it? Someone your age.

[shamisens]

[ Kubo pauses, deliberating on his words before answering softly. ]

It is. But it doesn't mean I'm always sad. Because I'm not always alone either. I may not have family anymore, but I have enough.

[onlyanapple]

[There's a small twitch to the demon's lips. An almost smile.]

...Suppose that's something, then. That you have something in that world to make you happy.

[shamisens]

[ His expression flickers because as far as Kubo has come, he doesn't have all the answers. He's not sure what he has and what he should hold onto. But he nods quietly. ]
