... No. But the rest was odd. We had to decided if we all deserved to live or not.

[ metaphors are not his thing... ]

[well, lucien is not going to be rude enough to ask how thorns answered that.]

Did your answer seem to make a difference?

I don't know. We all settled on the same one, so I'm not sure what would have happened if we answered differently.

... I see. Then, what happened?

We were brought back here. If anything, that part might have just been to see how we felt about ourselves.

So, more food for thought and self-reflection?

I believe so. But even if I thought poorly for myself, I need to live for...

[ he trails off, his expression turning confused for a moment. ]

[he suspects what's going on, but.]

Thorns?

Nothing. I lost my train of thought for a moment there.

... I see.

Though I can understand that even if you do not wish to live for yourself, there are other reasons to live for. I am glad that you have such things.

[even if he doesn't remember them right now.]

... Thanks.

[ the words are kind, even though there is a sense that something is wrong that is accompanying them. he'll shake it off for now though. ]

I shouldn't keep you for long.

No, not at all. That should be my line to you, if anything.

[but he gets the feeling that this is thorns discreetly telling him to go away.]

[ talking about feelings is deeply awkward. if it weren't for those dumb shards he would not be doing this right now. ]

I'll probably just run into someone else.
