I've been thinking a lot about how this place could be seen as a second chance. I wanted to ask... what would you do with that second chance? I know a lot of people want to find their way home but if you didn't, what then?

yeah? Never heard that old 'misery loves company' line?

If they ruin my life, I ruin theirs. Then we can both feel crappy.

It's better than nothing.

[littlemisskate]

But you'll never feel happy that way.

I think you feeling better has more value than making them miserable with you.

[veritron]

how are you supposed to feel better when everyone who made you feel like someone's dead? Getting over that feels like betraying how important they were.

[littlemisskate]

It isn't betraying them. You won't forget them and you won't stop loving the people you lost... but I also think that those people love you and would want you to be happy too.

You should live your life to its fullest, for your loved ones.

[veritron]

that's maybe how they do it where you're from.

it's not how Wreckers do it.

[littlemisskate]

It doesn't matter where you're from. I think that everyone should be forgiven.

You never met a guy named Overlord,
did you?

His whole job was to depopulate entire planets.

PS. He liked it.

[littlemisskate]

It's true. I haven't met him but I have faced my own losses.

I understand wanting to stop him but I also don't think killing someone will make you feel better. Instead you should do it stop help the people that might be hurt by him.

I hope that makes sense.

[ Ugh, stop being reasonable! ]

Up till a few weeks ago *I* was dying. Just wanted to tie up a loose end. Do something worth doing in life.

You know?

[littlemisskate]

I do. Before I arrived here-- I had been dead.
