[ it is so much to process, especially if you already haven't experienced what seems like 'the outside world'. if all you've ever known is this tower, how can you process death and chaos and such little explanation? ]
Just 'Yves' is okay.
[ he pulls back a little, still keeping his hands on laurence's shoulders but offering up a smile ]
You might think my reasoning is a little simplistic... but I was prepared for death to be fire and brimstone. Or worse, I thought it'd be so, so lonely. [ and that scared him so much more ]
But... this isn't that. And even if things don't make sense, I've gotten to reunite with some people I really wanted to see. I got to meet you, even though I'm sorry the circumstances aren't better.
But we have a roof over our heads and comfy beds and food. So... I'm choosing to be happy about that, before tackling what's next. Because even in life, I didn't always have all these things.
I'm... really glad we aren't here alone. And that you have people you know.
[ still feels a little lonely being so out of his depth without anyone else who even knows what a demiflora is, but they aren't alone, and that's good enough. ]
I guess you're right. The afterlife could be worse.
[ it's not fire and brimstone. it's not even an empty sky void anymore. he shouldn't complain too much just because it's something strange and unlike the tower. ]
What is next? Those "networks" and stuff? Is that working out yet?
A little bit. It's trust building with people, and making allies. I already found someone who wanted to join my handyman guild! [ yaaaay ] And a few people who said they'll share information.
There's a lot of good people here, who all want to get to the same results of everyone flourishing. So I have a bit more faith than usual that things will work out.
