<Snipped quote by Server>

I see. Then you already know it would be useless to try to trick you, yet you think it's the case anyway?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I dunno. All I do know is that it’s almost certain that nothing good can come of getting that group back together.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Shifts my gaze between you and her, and keeps my mouth shut*

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

You want me to let my guard down. I'm not going to fight you over this. I accept my fate.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

<Snipped quote by Server>

No, you don't. If you accept things, why not play along? The worst that can happen is you being right. If you actually think you're accepting of what you think is happening, you're not acting like it.

*Slumps my shoulders slightly*

Stella, any ideas? This is always the hard part, when they think like this.

*Pauses*
Why should I give you those keys over me? Forget it.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Turns to you, my eyes still gleaming*
I have a good, boring idea, and a fast, awful idea.

<Snipped quote by Server>

<Snipped quote by Memory>

... Well, on the one hand, the good and boring one is probably better. On the other, she thinks we're awful anyway, so... I guess you can pick either.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

The boring one is therapy and slowly getting used to being alive again until her fear goes away. The fast option is to actually just hurt her worse than mental pain she's afraid of but less bad than she knows we can. Then there'd be no point in tricking her.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Hmm... I dislike it, but it might work. Could also show her the state her old body is in.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

And, you know what else? Her dad's body.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I was thinking that might do the opposite, but I suppose.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Nods with strong agreement*
If they'd even help in the first place.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

To be in a position where that’s even being considered… Sucks a lot.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Also, if dad had the keys... where are they now?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I was thinking about that too. Their prisons being derelict can't be good for anyone, long term.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Part of me really wants to say that's not my problem.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You know me, I want nothing to do with it either. But it is a scary thought.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Maybe you could tell your dad and then we don't think about it anymore?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

As soon as I can get ahold of him, anyway.
