I guess it is important to know. I'm still sorry that it's the truth.

yEAH,
iT'S, nOT REALLY A FUN THING TO KNOW, tHAT SOMEONE HAS LEFT,

[Text]

[lethechained]

Yes.

[... Well, that brings her back to something else she's been wondering about.] So your world really was destroyed when you went back? Like the others said?

yEAH,



tHAT IS WHY, i AM KIND OF HAPPY TO BE BACK, eVEN THOUGH THE TOWER DOES THINGS,

[Text]

[lethechained]

I can imagine.


Do you think it was real? After what the tower did to us before it wouldn't be that hard to believe that it might be a trick. [In fact it would be very, very easy to hope as much--]

[Video]

[pchaaair]

[And then, he swaps it to video. He'd rather talk to Namine this way, rather than through text.]

... I'm not sure. It felt real, but... it is also the tower.

[Video]

[lethechained]

[--Blink. Well, okay, then-- if that's what he wants to do, she'll follow suit. She tries to greet him with a smile, but it's a weak one.]

... Mm. It felt real when it wasn't, too. [...Yeah, there's no smiling after that.]

[Video]

[pchaaair]

[Nods... and he's doing it because it's easier to talk about this, exactly, through video.]

... Yeah. It's hard to trust anything, when it is from this tower.

[Video]

[lethechained]

[Firm nod.] It's... amazing, how much control they have over us. [Amazing in the Worst Possible Way, that is.] It makes me wonder what it is they're really trying to accomplish.

[Video]

[pchaaair]

I kind of wonder, too. Especially after the experiments that happened.

[Video]

[lethechained]

....

... Sometimes, it seems like they could be studying the heart.

[Video]

[pchaaair]

... The heart? Like, the organ type of heart?

[Video]

[lethechained]

[She shakes her head.] No. I meant the other kind of heart.

[Video]

[pchaaair]

... If they want to study that, I am not sure if, er, this kind of method is a good one.

[Video]

[lethechained]

Me neither. It's just... it seems like so much of what they do is designed to upset us. [And that has to do with the heart and emotions, doesn't it?]

[Video]

[pchaaair]

Unless... they want to see how much we can take?

[Video]

[lethechained]

[A slow nod.] That could be it.

[Video]

[pchaaair]

[nnnngh]

I really dislike this place. A lot.

[Video]

[lethechained]

[... Sigh.] I don't blame you. [Pause. Even if she totally understands, perhaps a look at the bright side is in order?] ... But, there are good things about it, too. [Sheee sounds kind of hesitant about that.]
