Is that different from a happy ending?

[ finding a purpose and doing something you love. they seem close enough, to her. ]

Yes, a big sister.

[historicals]

...No. Maybe not.

[ he'd never really thought of it that way, and it shows - taair sets a hand to his heart. ]

I suppose... I thought if I could teach even one person who wanted to know the truth of Iria's past, then my life would have been worth something. So... you're right, Ramiel. Maybe it was a happy ending, after all.

[ better than the future, at least. ]

What's she like? Your sister.

[hotfixer]

I think that a happy ending can be more about what you managed with what you had than accomplishing everything you wanted to.

[ shrugs! ]

She's kind of mean. Usually in a funny way. But she cares about everyone very deeply—so when she's mad, it's usually for good reason. And she's really, really smart.

[ watches these tags come in at the same time and nods to myself ]

I see. [ cute... ] I'm glad that you two had each other - I must confess, I'm a bit jealous! I would have loved to have a sibling.

[hotfixer]

[ 🤔 ]

It can be hard sometimes. Families drive each other crazy.

But I know that I'm lucky to have her.

[historicals]

[ you are both messing with me i feel it in my bones

anyway ]

Certainly so. Did you two get to travel together....? You mentioned the cold, before.

[hotfixer]

We did for a little while, years ago. Looking for the perfect UI.

But the cold was something else. Another time and place.

[historicals]

A treasure hunt...?

[ okay he learned what the internet was but UI might be over his head ]

[hotfixer]

Not exactly. At the time it was more like...

Hunting for a candidate to inherit a lot of power.

[historicals]

[ oh. interesting. ]

So...more of a succession. [ man. imagine choosing candidates for that. ] Were you successful?

[hotfixer]

Something like that. There was never anyone before them, though, who had that much power. At least, not without a fatal drawback.

[ she pauses at the question. ]

... Kind of.
