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.]

[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.

[theskyaccepts]

But you were doing it for your sister?

[nilhilistic]

No. That part came later.

[theskyaccepts]

But that also means that you changed.

[nilhilistic]

And?

It does not excuse my motivations. I must own them.

[theskyaccepts]

That's just it, though.

A lot of people wouldn't.

[nilhilistic]

Would they not?

[theskyaccepts]

[He thinks about Xanxus, and Byakuran, or at least, the previous versions of them that he's met.]

No. They wouldn't.

[nilhilistic]

Hm. I suppose some humans are steadfast in their ways.

[theskyaccepts]

they sure can be.

[nilhilistic]

And I suppose I've had more time to reflect.

[theskyaccepts]

A lot more time, yeah. Though I don't know if reflection helped any of those guys
