[listen, she knows today is white day, but that isn't what's on her mind right now. she just needs to ask a simple, but powerful question.]

Would you do anything to get back home? Or is there a line that should not be crossed?

And, ultimately, who is content with just living here?

I am very content, but more because this is the only home I have left. It's not that I wouldn't like to go home, but I physically am unable to.

That is kinda what death does to you after all.

I'm sorry to hear that, really I am. I can see that this place is a sort of salvation for you.

It is, but I am always more than happy to want to help those who want to go home. I mean people disappear daily so you might get lucky there, but otherwise...going outside the barrier is a bad thing.

What happens if you go outside of it?

Spirits live outside it and might attack the moment they see you.

What if I can handle it?

I still wouldn't be sure, the numbers outside could be in the millions. Having all of those at you at once would be impossible for one person even if they think they could handle it.

But you said could be, right? It isn't definitive.

It would be impossible of course but that is only IF there is as many as you say.

A lot came in, so the numbers are high reguardless of being exact.

But you could ask anyone who was here last year and they would say the same thing.

I am going to assume that going home is what I would call a wish you would want granted, correct?

I still can't go home entirely, not yet, I just need to go back to where I was. And I'll do anything in order to do that.

So it is a wish, hm? Would it matter how long it would take? Like if such a thing might take time?

Sooner than later would be good.

Why, what do you have in mind?

Soon can really depend, like you need to factor in what information there is for starters.

Do you happen to have any? Depending on what there is factors into how one might attempt to get out.

I know something about the barriers now, at least. 

There is someone I left behind where I was before and I need to be with them.

And what something about the barriers do you happen to know now?

I was told that they could be taken down.

Then what is stopping you from doing that now?

There's a way to take down the barrier but no one wants to try it lol

So the answer is that people are chickens when it comes to the unknown and would rather be cooped up in a cage as long as it has free wifi.

What? Why wouldn't anyone want to try it? Tell me how to take it down, please.

That doesn't sit with me at all, I'll do anything to get back to where I was.

I mean there are monsters out there that people are like 'weh no think of the children' about.

Which tells me that they're either cowards or have 0 self-confidence and value ease over freedom.

But basically, the barrier runs on fear generated from Everglade. You can evacuate the people who don't have pendants by escorting them if you have a pendant. All we would have to do is evacuate the city for like 5 minutes and down goes the barrier. We could do it in a controlled setting instead of waiting for the barrier to bust open when those things get hungry and group up again, handle them in small chunks, but people would rather just wait around picking petals off of flowers and hoping their crush notices them.

[nene would rather not resort to anything that would actually hurt anyone else. however, the thought of getting back to where she was, to where her brother was being held captive... she knew that she had to do whatever it took.]

If we can do it in a controlled state, then I don't see the issue. That sounds like a plausible plan.

At least that's one person who isn't a coward.

Even if you're anonymous.

No, fuck going home. Let it burn.

So. You're probably happy here then?

It's not about here, it's about there. I'd be returning the slow slaughter of my brothers and inevitable destruction of the empire my father built to keep us all safe.

Here, any of my fallen brothers may join me, I can meet people from other worlds, I have my wife and I can protect those closest to me rather than watch them all drown.

Let the world that would forsake my brothers burn, I owe it little to no allegiance.

That.... that sounds awful, I'm so sorry, I wish you didn't have to go through that. 

As for me, there's someone I need to be around back where I'm from. I can't just leave them.

nah i think were all on a different timeline now
going back would just doom us all

How so? Are our timelines that badly messed up?

Anything is far too broad to vindicate much.

One should be content wherever one is. Much evil comes from the other thing.

Then tell me what isn't vague. What crosses the line?

What if you're not content, ever?

Not vague, broad.

[Words are important dangit.]

But to answer: anything evil or unmanly.

Then one had better learn! Is gratitude and grace so hard to have?

What would make something evil?

...why unmanly? 

I never asked to be brought here.

Its undeserved existence.

[He likes classical definitions over, say, helpful ones.]

Anything that's a refusal of life or adventurous circumstances is unmanly.

If you like that, you weren't asked to be born, either. Yet here we all are; might as well make the most of it.

Everything you're saying is just ridiculous.

So what if I wasn't asked to be born? All I have been wanting was to make sure someone important to me is okay.

It's sooth!

Surely you must want more than that. And what is that, anyway? Wouldn't it be nice if something romantic or apocalyptic happened to them? Some whirling spin on the wheel of destiny?

You know, I'd love to go home.

I really would.

But I'm kinda dead and the only person I can comfortably possess is much too strong for me.

I'll make my home here.

So you are content with living here. 

But still, what do you think would be crossing the line?

Take it from personal experience, once you see the pain you've wrought on others, that hits you like a ton of bricks.

I could tell you to simply not look, but there is always a person who will be too strong or too angry to let you get away with it. That person could even be yourself.

Probably. I'm not angry I'm just... frustrated.

And I'll do anything to stop feeling this way.

It's natural.

[ That 'willing to do anything', however, is very familiar to her. ]

Now, when you say 'anything', does that have limits?
