I hoped there was a chance we’d be able to go back and find her reading a book in the living room… At least we know she’s got a good shot here either way.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Sometimes a painful truth is better than a hopeful unknown. I think so, anyway.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

We do. But even despite all that, it’s the first time I’ve ever taken a life.
*Looks at my hands*
Can’t ever take that back.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I can't afford to be a part of any more death today. I think it would legitimately drive me insane.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I... know how you feel, somewhat. At least with yours, you are justified. With mine.... I lost everyone I knew in mere seconds. It happened so fast, and though it was quite litteraly eons ago... I still remember it clear as day.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

It’s definitely better than a false hope. Thank you again, Miss Dawn.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I’m sorry you had to experience tragedy like that. I wish no one had to. Ever, nor ever again.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*hugs you*

It'll be alright, kid. You're safe now.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Curtsies*
It's my pleasure to help you. If it's okay with everyone, I would certainly like to stay and keep you company.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It is an unfortunate, immovable fact from existence. Death is all around us, the only thing we can do is come to terms with it.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I don’t mind if no one else does. We’re the intruders anyway.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I-
*Hesitates and changes course*
You are right about that.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Smiles and takes a chair to sit*
I'll be as unobtrusive as I can be.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Welcome to the club, there. We can help each other to try maximize how not in the way we are.

*Looks over at Zinnia, who's sitting against the wall and not moving*
I hope she ends up okay too.

Alright, I'm going to have the active part of the room separated from the rest, so everybody who isn't operating doesn't have to experience the next part with their senses.

*Walks over to a keypad and presses some of the buttons, causing a large wall to lower slightly above the middle of the room*

I'll lower that fully once everyone's in place. Stella, are you okay with continuing to help? You've done great so far, but I don't want to make you keep working if you don't want to.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*My mouth dimples at the joke*
You're in very good hands. Dad is the best there is, and Stella's been helping him for many years now. She's become a little expert in her own right.

She was saying things along those lines, yeah. Not an… Insulated opinion, I see.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Scurries lackadaisically under the wall to the opposite end of the room*

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Orients myself with the table and moves to the other side of the wall*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

He is our dad after all. He's the best at everything to me.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*doesn't react to the wall lowering*

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

How am I s'posed to get better if I'm not helping?
