You say that, but it does matter. It's going to weigh on you and make you a little shorter.
[ Sorry, that isn't true. He also normally doesn't believe in curses... But circumstances and sentiments. ]
... I'm going to be trying my best here, doing this project. [ Like this is a good way to preface or soften any of it. ] But it'll help me if I know there's a way out.
Don't tell me you're willing to let your conscience guide you now. [ rude. ] We're your guardians. What else are we meant to do if we can't help you?
[ but okay. they listen, and there's a nod. ]
... a plan b. I understand why you're asking, but I don't know if we can guarantee it'll go the way you want it to. If you do your best and prove yourself, your exit will come at the end of the period. And if you really don't want to go back, you could probably negotiate.
[ He rolls his eyes, but they're right to question it, honestly. And being guardians makes him unsure if he will get a real answer about leaving on his own terms, if existing became too difficult to endure.
He knows it might, but there could be a chance he can endure to the end, but leaving early seems peaceful. Even if it means he'll be lost, or if he can be in hell where he's meant to be. He deserves nothing or suffering. ]
It's fine if it doesn't. I'll take a chance. [ Because he knows by his breaking point, he will find being in Heaven surrounded by kind-hearted people suffocating. It isn't where he should be, so anywhere else would be fine. ] It really couldn't be as easy as getting me a train?
[ ........ they really should not be humoring this man, but something in their head is steering them toward the idea of realizing that perhaps there are just some people who want to move on. just like there are some who should have that don't want to let go. ]
Would it make you feel better if I looked into it?
Yes, that would be good... [ He knows that they can lie and that's fine, but he can pretend that he can rest when it gets too much. It can keep him going. ] Thank you.
Of course. But I want you to keep in mind that there may not actually be an answer. You may have to live with the choice of continuing to live. Don't forget that.
[ they are kind enough to at least hear him out, but they aren't nice enough to give him hope he can actually eject himself from the situation so easily. ]
