*Catches you, continuing to stand, and pulls you into a hug*
Hiya, Sis!

@Yatagarasu

*Stomps on the prongs of one of the forks, launching it spinning up into my outstretched hand*
Die, Shion impersonator!

*Ducks under them*

@Yatagarasu

*Tackles you in your midsection*

Myriad Reality

*Goes to Stella*

@Yatagarasu

*Flings a fork at each of your eyes while running straight for you*
Intruder!

*Swipes my arm against my mouth, wiping away a small streak of blood but leaving a red tint in its place*
It's been worse before.
*Smiles*
I'm sorry that I'm a disappointment, Stella. I didn't ask to be.

@Server

*Rolls my eyes*

Seventeen years is not "rotting a life away." Especially true of the eight years it's been since her challenges began.

@Threads of Fate

Except it's always going to be more of the same. Wake me up when seventeen years isn't about to turn into seventy.

Because it's entirely opinion. There's no evidence I can present to sway you.

@Threads of Fate

No matter what, none of them sat their and rotted their lives away in this house.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. I don't know that they did so, but I wouldn't be able to convince you even if I felt strongly about that.

@Threads of Fate

How would you know that if you don't try?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. The only darkloid to not be destroyed or absorbed, a former human essentially avoiding a permanent death so complete that it would be impossible to recover from... A human fighting the things that Father did, doing the things to himself that he did, in order to be able to do what he felt he needed... Is that not centered around survival?

@Threads of Fate

It's about doing what nobody else could. Look at our olders, they proved how much better they were than anyone else, and didn't have to worry about survival.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I'd argue that our history is survival. Something that Dawn is constantly managing despite her challenges. As for me, I have no desire to be as important as our parents were. I don't see a reason to be, and if you consider what others did due to them, it would be nigh impossible anyway.

@Threads of Fate

Our family's history is turning "nigh impossible" into absolute. If survival was all there was to it, dad would never have become so great.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mm. I believe you might be missing the purpose of why I said it. It's not a matter of who's "better," it's a matter of how you see the rest of us in terms of how we try to improve ourselves. It would be far more effective, and less likely to be misunderstood, if you didn't hide behind sharp statements. Claiming to be the only one trying to do something, especially when one doesn't actually feel that way, is only going to discourage the rest of a group.

@Threads of Fate

Okay, then what is anyone else doing? How is Dawn seizuring in her room living up to our history? How are you going to be as important as dad, or mom?
