[ predictably, she is out on the beach. there is no more ocean, which she hates, but she's had a day to get over that or at least to stop complaining about it. ]
I did. [ ... ] I think it went well? I don't know. The last break-up I had was when the Templars forcibly removed my boyfriend from the Circle and moved him to Kirkwall.
[ he doesn't have a good measure for what is a normal relationship talk. ]
I've never had a break-up before, but this sounds like it went better than your last. I think.
[ she also has absolutely zero measure of what's normal. just in general. but also in romance, so she tries to commiserate with him. ]
I'm in love with my sister's boyfriend, who I revived against both of their wishes knowing he would likely have to die again. So I think our reunion is going quite well, too.
[ its not as if he's been afraid of change before. he'd spent a lifetime trying to change in any way possible. running from the circle. running from the wardens. running to kirkwall. and now, running from there. ]
Uploading? That is what you did?
[ he has a general idea just based on memory context clues. ]
[ then is he just afraid of being happier? she does not know his meta text enough to ask this. ]
Oh. No. I was created with the combined data of two people who did upload, though. I was born in the cloud, so... I never existed in the physical world to begin with.

Have you talked to Hawke?
[ NO LEAD UP. ]

anyway he expected that so it's fine. ]

Your thing sounds harder than mine.
[ ... wait. ]
Sorry.
no subject
[ she shakes her head! ]
I think that difficult things can still go surprisingly well. That's all.
no subject
Maybe we both need to meet more people.
no subject
I don't think I can do that. But if you're going to a brand new world, you can! That must be exciting.
no subject
[ like it feels fake in a too good to be real sort of way. ]
I imagine it will be different. And unsettling. But good. For all the running away I did, I hardly ever travelled.

[ hm. ]
Before Justice, I was anxious a great deal of the time.
no subject
no subject
Moreso than a normal amount considering the circumstances, I mean.
no subject
A lot of people get very nervous before uploading. But in the end, they're glad that they did.

That's right. I've ... always thought of you as more like a Spirit, admittedly. Like Justice.
[ so, no real body of her own. ]
no subject
But I don't know if I'm quite as special as something like the spirit of justice itself. I was the first CI. But I'm no longer necessary.
no subject
[ a first child, created to fix the Fade, and then deemed no longer necessary. ]
Perhaps you are not Justice, but you have the right to be whoever you would like to be. Especially when you are here, and free.
no subject
[ no longer necessary is very apt. ]
Thank you for saying so. I've enjoyed myself a lot, having a body and meeting so many fun people.
