Depending on the circumstances. I can't just do it on anyone whenever I want.

Or, I wouldn't.

[cupidsammo]

Oh, I see... So—it was a last resort kinda thing?

[hotfixer]

... It was.

[cupidsammo]

Huh...

I'd say that sounds neat, but it must've been for something important.

[hotfixer]

Yes. I needed to get something out of their system. But it was deeply embedded and woven into the core of their being.

[cupidsammo]

[ somehow, this sounds like more computer stuff ]

So that's why... The real thing is probably better than a dream, huh?

[hotfixer]

It depends on your perspective.

[cupidsammo]

Hm? Would you say no?

[hotfixer]

My attachment to the things people call "real" isn't as strong as most, I suppose.

[cupidsammo]

That's... true. Sorry.

[hotfixer]

But I can understand that other people put more value in it. So to you it may be better.

[cupidsammo]

It's all I know, really, so...

[hotfixer]

That's what makes it difficult to come to understandings. Everyone can only go off their own experiences.

[cupidsammo]

Y- yeah... But I'll remember that from now on!

[hotfixer]

I think that you were already the understanding type.

[cupidsammo]

I try to be, but I'm sure even I mess up sometimes.

[hotfixer]

Everyone does. I do it all the time.

[cupidsammo]

[ i'm sure they're fully underwater at this point now, weeee. still making the descent. ]

Then... what do you think about this?

[hotfixer]

[ whee. there are colorful fishies to look at... ]

About what?

[cupidsammo]

Do you like this ocean compared to the ones you've seen in dreams?

[hotfixer]

Well... I had more emotional attachment to the dream. But this is new, so I like it. And it's a little clearer. Dreams can be really vague.

[cupidsammo]

Hm... Yeah, I can't think of a time I had a dream that felt super clear either.

[hotfixer]

Even when you break them down into hard data, a lot of that data is still just "impressions" more than sensation.

[cupidsammo]

Yeah, that makes sense. They're mostly just images in your head, anyway.

[hotfixer]

Right. It's your brain processing your thoughts and feelings and memories from the day. Committing them to hard storage.
