The End...?

[overworker]

[ It's all over. Or... that's how it seems anyway. At least for now, everything seems to be well-- or as well as it can be. She hasn't figured out just yet what it is she wants to do with herself, but she's settling for what she knows best. Doing as much as she can. ]

( for any post game shenanigans you want with Towa, you can throw them in here! call, text or visits! )

...does it really matter what I call it?

[It doesn't change what it was, what she did.]

I know you probably won't believe it but... I never once thought of throwing away my life. I didn’t do those things thinking that it would be the end. Even though my heart was aching— I always intended to keep moving forward with the rest of you... But it was reckless, and I hadn’t thought about what it would mean if I was wrong.

[She hadn't thought in the moment what the alternative might have been-- that she could have hurt people if her plans failed. But she's aware of it now, if only because she had to be told what it looks like from someone else's eyes.]

Even now, I'm uncertain of what I want to do with my future. I don't... know what place I could possibly call my own. But I would never take the promise of someone I care about for granted so... that's something I still plan to figure out for myself . Whatever you think of me-- I'm glad that I met you, I don’t regret it. And I hope that whatever future you choose for yourself— that it’s a happy one.

No, it doesn't.

[ It really doesn't change what she did either, even if she did it with the best intentions. In fact, it reminds him of a certain someone and it just ... hurts. ]

Next time, you should consider the consequences of your actions before you actually take them. Things don't always work out the way you think it will.

[ Mithos is quiet after that as he goes over what Towa says after. ]

Do you ... not consider the world you are from your own? I admit, I don't know much about your world so I ... wouldn't be surprised if there is a reason if you couldn't go back.

[ ... ]

Whatever future I choose, it won't be just with myself. There's someone that I chose to pursue my future with, and I don't intend on breaking that. We just ... need to find a place where we can go, since going to either of our worlds is not an option.

[ He'll die if he goes back to him and Ris isn't allowed to go back to her world for reasons, so going to someone elses' world is their only choice. ]

... Since both you and McBurn are both from the same world, I was thinking we could possibly go to your world if not someone elses', but ...

[ He's not sure now after what Towa had said. But near betrayal aside that stubborn 'old self' part of him that seems to linger still cares and ... the same goes for McBurn. ]

...yes, you're right. I know it might not have seemed like it at the time, but I was trying the second time. That's why... I wanted to listen to what everyone said.

[ And they were the reason that she knew she couldn't simply accept it. ]

Oh, I do... Zemuria has it's faults, but no more or less than any other world I'm sure. And while the Erebonian Empire I came from was in the middle of a civil war before, at least for now-- it should be over.

I've been telling myself for a while that I'd probably never see it again, or my friends. I really didn't know if I could believe it was possible. And now that I can... it feels surreal. And... in my mind it meant saying goodbye to you all. I didn't realize until it became a possibility but-- the thought was really painful. You're all family and friends after all.

[ That hasn't changed a bit in her mind. Well, Minato is a complicated case, but-- there rest isn't at all. And the fact that he'd even mention coming to Erebonia as an idea makes her happier than he could possibly know. ]

If you wanted to, you would be more than welcome, both of you! I'd really love to have you there, even if it was just for a while.
