If someone who died in your world came back in this one
What would you do?

Comments

[restringing]

It must be different for everyone

And if it happened to you, you understand things I don't
But I'm glad it's a positive thing

What changed?

[penpoint]

Nearly everything is different now. It isn't a bad, thing, though. But if you should expect to see someone who has died then don't anticipate things will be able to pick up where they left off.

[restringing]

I thought so

I'm not expecting it
The person I was talking about isn't here
But if he was
I already know that we couldn't go back to the way we were

For a lot of reasons

[penpoint]

I'm going to be honest, I'm glad they're different now. People change, evolve, get better or worse. It's what makes humans interesting, and good subjects for story-telling. Imagine how boring it would be if it were the same.

It'd be impossible to continue interacting with someone who wouldn't acknowledge that, but that's not the case.

[restringing]

Story-telling?

It's good to have that perspective
Your friend must be happy too
That you understand
And it's important to change

But... I guess
It's more than that for me
I don't know if I'd punch him or hug him or cry first
It's too hard to imagine

[penpoint]

I'm a manga-ka. I enjoy telling stories.

I think so, it's not easy. Well, you won't know until it happens, or when it does.

[restringing]

That makes sense
Do you publish your stories here?

Mm...
I hope I don't have to think about it
Talking to other people has helped
I'm not as worried about something that probably won't happen anyway

Thanks for sharing with me

[penpoint]

I will be, yes.

It's a waste of time to worry, even if you never know what can happen here. Because you can't stop it from happening and you can't make it happen.

[restringing]

What's your name?

Yeah... I know
But it's also hard not to worry
I was doing better at home
But without my band and my friends
And people here talking about coming back
I've wound up thinking about it again

I'll try not to
I think I have some of the answers I was looking for

[penpoint]

Rohan. Yourself?

It's impossible to predict, honestly.

[restringing]

Mafuyu
Nice to meet you

It might be easier knowing that
If worrying or wondering "what if" won't do anything

[penpoint]

You as well.

It - might alleviate some worries, I think.

[restringing]

Not worrying will alleviate worries
Ok

That's good enough for me
