[theskyaccepts]

I've been here for over a year

[He probably didn't mean to send this. That's why it's so short. Just one of those musing thoughts that might have been more but wasn't at the time. And you think you pressed delete but you hit send instead.

And maybe the realization has made him just a bit homesick.]

[nilhilistic]

I cannot. I destroyed it, remember? There is nothing to go back to.

It is a silent world now.

[theskyaccepts]

There's just....nothing?

[It is hard to imagine, and scary as well. But he knows there have to be worlds like that out there. Though those would mostly be Byakuran's fault.]

[nilhilistic]

No life. No people. Nothing.

As I said. It is silent. I had to live there for a thousand years.

[theskyaccepts]

For that long...on your own.

Was that a punishment?

[nilhilistic]

No.

My sister was dead. I needed a thousand years to bring her back.

[theskyaccepts]

Even so...to spend that much time alone.

Did you manage to save her?

[nilhilistic]

I did. She came back to life.

That's all that matters.

[theskyaccepts]

So it was worth it?

I mean, I'm glad she was able to, but still...that's a bit cost to pay.

[nilhilistic]

For my sister? Yes. It was worth it.

I would do it again.

[theskyaccepts]

She must be really important to you, then.

But what about your world?

[nilhilistic]

What of it? I destroyed it. I cannot bring it back to life.

[theskyaccepts]

So and your sister are just. Stuck there?

[nilhilistic]

No. We were able to depart to another world.

[theskyaccepts]

[Is it weird to feel some level of relief.]

I....I see.

That's...kind of a lot.

[nilhilistic]

I did say so from the start. Nothing in my life is simple.

[theskyaccepts]

I could say the same for mine, but in a very different way.

[nilhilistic]

Your situation is complex. But not extreme.

[theskyaccepts]

Guess that's one way to put it...

[Certainly in light of everything he's heard.]

[nilhilistic]

Well, you hardly wish to reach my level.

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, can't say that I do.

But, at least you had a reason

[nilhilistic]

My reasons hardly matter. They do not stand up to scrutiny.

[theskyaccepts]

But it's a reason I can understand at least. Compared to others.

[nilhilistic]

What do you mean by that?

[theskyaccepts]

I've known a lot of people who want power for power's sake. And they won't stop until have it, no matter who they have to go through.

[nilhilistic]

You're literally describing me.
