Oh yes. That. [ she says this with a sigh as if she's put off by it. ] It persists, but there are some things...
[ for instance, there is a memory to support her point which feels hilarious coming before the thread the girls are terrorizing him but it's fine. also art ref
[ i don't know how but i missed a bunch of my audience notifs
"Not being able to kiss someone was a lot like being poor." YOU'RE SO RIGHT, BLUE. I AM SO POOR RIGHT NOW WATCHING THIS GAME... BUT IT IS W4 AND I AM OPTIMISTIC WE WILL HAVE MORE THEN 20 AT THE END. It's very strange to him to watch a young girl's memories. Instinctively, he looks away out of politeness.
It doesn't stop him from hearing it all, though. It's all... So embarrassing. But young girls should have time to be young girls. They should be able to kiss, regardless of the fate put upon them, and maybe he lifts his gaze to see Noah disappear. It is odd, but he understands it better than the technology memshares he gets. ]
Noah was always a ghost. [ so it's a little complicated. ] But not remembering... I think that's because of what happened with Cabeswater. It's only a guess though, I didn't even think of it until recently.
It's actually mostly normal. That's the problem when the abnormal occurs then. [ she really is just from normal 2010s virginia and then things happened. ]
In a sense. But I was free from that particular fate even before I took this job. [ she doesn't sound too thrilled about that though. ]
Killing my boyfriend with my mouth wasn't an easy decision, even if he asked and knew he would die from it. Asking Cabeswater to help bring him back wasn't any easier, but we knew it would at least try to listen. But the rest is so muddled now... [ she shakes her head and exhales softly. ]
... thank you, though. For hoping for that. It's very thoughtful of you. [ and just feeds into her idea that he really is not a lost cause. ]
I don't disagree. But a lot of people wouldn't think too much about that for others. [ hence her thanks. ] ...ready to try and find our way out of here?

I'm sorry—for having seen that.

anyway, that's fair. she's staring at the mirror even while he looks away and she sighs to herself. ]
I hardly remember it, really. [ therein lies the problem. meet the thing she doesn't remember, named noah. ]
no subject
Squints.... Frowns. This just seems sad to be taken away for young girls who didn't allow themselves to act on love. ]
I... See. Is this the effect of whatever that keeps him here as an actual ghost? I wonder.
[ rather than his own fake ghosts ]

[ Only because he comes from a relatively normal world. ]
In the afterlife, do you feel free from your fate?
no subject
In a sense. But I was free from that particular fate even before I took this job. [ she doesn't sound too thrilled about that though. ]
no subject
You don't sound all too happy about that.
[ why must such strange things happen to you, as if he wasn't put on the path to kill the person he loved. ]

Still, some freedom... I hope is more than what you've had so far.

There's not much he can offer otherwise, which has him tense when she thanks him. Again... Offered very little. ]
It isn't anything... Everyone deserves to live freely.
[ She's just a girl, despite everything that happened to her. ]

But he's quiet, though there's approval that they should leave and they can finally escape. ]
