...

[She picks up the cube, holds it out to him.]

What wishes do you have for me and why? Why do you want to help me?

I don't want to.

We were born together. We were meant to grow up together, to win together, they were my reason for living, to keep going in spite of everything.

I wanted to understand what life was like for Jane. I wanted to go on adventures with Jake. I wanted Dirk and I to figure out how to be something resembling socially competent together. I wanted to give Callie an actual hug. I wanted to see my mom, wanted to understand the bond I felt to someone I never met.

It doesn't feel right, going on without them.

[takes the cube]

. . . I wish for you to be able to harmonize your past experiences with your future. I want you to become stronger, step forward, and keep on fighting for all that you believe in.

[a breath]

I wish for you to go home and rescue your friends there, with the support of the friends you've made in Kyriakos.

[another pause, this one short]

And I want to help you because after seeing everything I've seen in this soul. . . how could I not? I've said it before but I consider you a friend.

So. . . I'm only doing what any good friend would do.

... Do I want to know why?

...

[She holds out the glass.] You might want to keep this then.

It has a meaning for you, but to me....it's how I should listen to when people are showing concern for me. Even if I changed on my own, I wouldn't have managed if I hadn't finally listened.

I dun want to mix your messages.

I know it's hard, and I know it isn't fair. It should never have happened. But you're strong, I know you are. You'll find new reasons. I believe in you.

[pushing even harder with her powers]

VS: How many are still there?

[Water, water, water]

[Poof!]

[Have a pumpkin shaped pool.]

Kik I mixed anythink in ma life!

[Oh hey, that bottle is getting thrown at you.]

[Luckily, I was ready for that and can properly Burst the thing.]

So what, you're just going to wallow in your sorrows and be upset forever? The Roxy I know isn't that weak! Get angry, get serious! Do something! Whatever! Just don't sit and stagnate!

[Those bands are responding, expanding on her body, but she's still determined.]

Believe in me?! New reasons?! Why do I have to keep hopin' on...on such GENERIC platitudes?!

When is the universe gonna give PROOF!

TG: in the room?

Aliens are weird.

I'm not dismissing them!

I just want to be with them!

...If you're sure, then... alright.

[Making a sylladex switch. NUMBERS EVERYWHERE much strider very dave. He pulls out the pen instead.]

I'd still like to make my mark here, if I could. Would feel guilty if I didn't at least try.

[ I'm. I'm not even surprised. ]

I'm sorry if you think it's generic, but it's true. I do believe in you. If you want proof, though...

[stepping forward to hug her]

If you wish it, I won't leave this place without you. I will wait until you can accompany me home. I would wager several others would make you the same offer.

VS: Yeah
VS: In Rage's area

Are there any other common objects I should pay more attention to??

[Focus on the hope. Small, but there. It's there, it exists, don't turn away from it, don't give up on it.

Focus on the promises. The bonds, those precious connections, the support and strength they offer.

Infuse them with blinding light, bring to attention the unshakable truth of them. There's other options, other possibilities. Still, even now, there are. It doesn't have to be like this. Make them more important than the despair and fear and disbelief.]

You can.

[Firm, a certainty with no give in it.]

And you do have that. You have it right now. Because I want you. And you know I don't lie.

[As he talks, fireflies fly closer, gathering on the cube. They glow, flicker, the light spreading along the cube.]

So, you'll help me reach a happier ending?

[. . . LAUGHS]

Ha! Not bad, not bad~

Of course.

[earnest]

[She curls up tighter, pressing her face against her knees.]

You should.

All this big bad shit keeps happening, and I'm the common factor. Try to save the day, fuck it up. Try and be patient, still fuck it up. It always falls apart.

We would be here all day.
