[ he'll bring up his own hand to just smooth her hair back affectionately ]
... yeah. I agree. [ and he does think that he's still not attached to his redemption as much as other people. he won't say that part out loud. but he'll admit: ] I'm really attached to all of you. I know we're not anywhere near the end... but it is a little hard to think of leaving, whenever someone asks me what I want to do if I get redeemed.
[ the hair smoothing makes her tilt her head to peer up at him again but she doesn't object ]
Because you don't know who's going to stay? [ she assumes everyone means like. Everyone. this is yves. ] I think that's normal. To find it harder to make a choice because you don't know what the people you care about are going to do. Most of the meaning in life is other people.
People weren't meant to be alone. It's literally part of our code.
[ computer enhance feelings, but: ]
You've got time to think about it, still. And more than that, I'm sure everyone's taking other people into account when they make those decisions too. Even if it's not people here, it's who they have or don't have back home.
...I think that's the choice I'd want most people to make. [ a pause ] It's not for everyone. Being in heaven is a better alternative for so many reasons. But it's not... living.

[ he does feel validated... ]
Well, people should pursue what options make sense for them. I guess I'll just accept I'll take longer to arrive at my decision.

Right. I've heard so many people say without hesitation that they're going back...
But I guess that's less surprising. A lot of people had unfinished business.

We can still die here, right?
[ so like
looks the same ]

[ shrugs ]
I know there's a lot of it that seems the same right now, because we've kept your physicality as close to possible.

[ he nods thoughtfully at that ]
Does that mean that it's possible for things to change? To not be so close to recognizable?
