[hotfixer]

[ well. ramiel is lost in the darkwoods. so i guess jacopo is here too. congratulations. ]

... Do you know the way back? These signs are really not helping.

[obdure]

[ he was going to complain, but then... since he wasn't there during the tree sawing.

Looks at her halo. ]

Ramiel?

[hotfixer]

Oh, right. You weren't around earlier.

It looks like everyone's eyes have finally acclimated enough to see us properly.

[obdure]

... Our eyes were broken?

[ HUH ]

[hotfixer]

No, not broken. Just unadjusted.

[obdure]

Right.

[ He will just accept it as is because there's no use wasting energy over that. ]

I got out of here once, but now I'm stuck here again.

[ he doesn't question why he's here. ]

[hotfixer]

Oh, yes. That happened to me too! I thought for sure I would be able to navigate it this time.

[ BUT NO. ]

[obdure]

What was on your mind when you three decided this was a good excursion?

[ BEING LOST IS AN AWFUL FEELING ]

[hotfixer]

Some people enjoy going for long, long walks, or looking at things that feel a bit haunting.

[obdure]

... There is a monster in the maze.

[hotfixer]

Some people enjoy fighting.

I don't understand them, but we can still provide the enrichment.

[obdure]

... No warning, at least? A sign?

[hotfixer]

It's good to let yourself be surprised sometimes.

[obdure]

... Can it kill us?

[ THIS IS THE MAIN ISSUE ]

[hotfixer]

You are all already dead.

[ she knows what he means though, so she shakes her head. ]

But no.

[obdure]

[ Just... Dead inside. Good grief. ]

[hotfixer]

Once we get out of this forest, is there anywhere else you like this week?

[obdure]

... The flower garden is a beautiful sight.

[ That's good, right? It's basically approval. ]

[hotfixer]

Oh, yes! I agree. It's been so fun to be around real nature.

[obdure]

... As opposed to fake nature?

[hotfixer]

Yes. Digital imitations of nature. Replicas, or even new concepts inspired by the real.

[obdure]

... That does sound incredibly pitiful.

[ NOT REAL GRASS? ]

[hotfixer]

[ pauses because that is her whole home and life and self but it's fine ]

Does it? It sounds like art, to me. People recreate what they loved to continue experiencing it even in a new world.

[obdure]

[ I am sorry he is insensitive.... He obviously does not understand.

Thinking some more because she spun it as art. ]

That does add more perspective. It's more like a medium? [ like oil paint, water colors, gouache, etc. ] I just wouldn't want to replace and forget, is what I mean.

[hotfixer]

[ listen i think he's right. ]

A medium is a good way of thinking about it. Where I'm from, people do replace the physical world with the digital. But I don't think they forget.
