W-well, I like what we got too! [Wait, this isn't a competition--] I...I get what you mean. Er, not that I have the fondest of feelings about how it messed with us before all the glitches, but it's where I get to be with you. So...!
[Dara doesn't know how to end that thought, resulting in her sputtering a bit.]
I guess I wasn't as impartial as I thought.
no subject
...Yeah. No, you're right. We all want to keep what we have. It's just you and me don't see this place as a prison or anything, I think.
But if you did have other thoughts on how to deal with this place-- just say so, alright?
no subject
Sure. If anything changes, I'll let you know. Whatever it may be, I-.....I wouldn't want our story to end, y'know?
[YOU STARTED THIS, SHINJI!]
no subject
(Like 6 months ago)]
Yeah. I'll probably be helping Miller and Root find and reset these things- the map has some marks around Rumpitur and that shitty island, and a lot of them weren't there for that.
Root seems like she knows what she's doing with all this computer stuff, so hopefully it's just a trek out to reset the place, and then back with way less of it losing its mind. And I've got your talisman on me if I need it.
no subject
[Dara makes a noise as if beginning to say something before cutting herself off. She wants to be hopeful, she really does, but the thought of the world vanishing right after they separate flashes to mind. Maybe it's not a simple reset.
She doesn't want it to end (potentially) with just hearing his voice.]
...The travel time will take awhile, so let me send you off. [She not take no for an answer. Get ready for a spacial gate opening up in your bedroom, Shinjiro!]
