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

Comments

[porcelainandblood]

Then I am quite pleased that I was able to lend some assistance. I hope you find this place and your time here to be one of opportunity and not sorrow.

[restringing]

Thanks
I hope so

What's your name?

[porcelainandblood]

[Perne must stop and think. Not because giving out her name is difficult, but rather because she is still trying to establish how to make proper introduction in this world. It's not Ishgard and her title means very little, but instinct, habit, and grooming make her want to include it.

As such, she must always stop herself before she offers such information.]

Perne. We have not yet had the opportunity to make proper introduction. Otherwise, I would have offered it previously. Mine apologies.

[restringing]

[How incredibly formal... It's so different from what Mafuyu is used to that he nearly mentions that she doesn't need to be so proper, but if she's used to it, wouldn't it be worse to make a comment like that? Communicating through text with strangers is such a challenge!]

It's okay
That's why I asked

I'm Mafuyu Sato
Nice to meet you

[porcelainandblood]

I assure you, the privilege is quite so mine.
If you do not find it particularly prying, have you been here long? Such a weighted question implies that mayhaps you have been here for some time.

[Or he is simply a profound thinker.]

[restringing]

Really?

Um
It's been around 4 months now
I think

But I had a lot of time to think about it
Even at home
People don't come back
But I thought about what I'd say
If I could talk to him again

[porcelainandblood]

I have never heard of a world where people who passed on who were capable of coming back.

[...Not entirely true. There are stories about necromancy, but Perne is a relative sceptic person. She's never seen it herself.]

Rather, I have only heard of such things occurring in books. I do not believe there is truth in these books.
I think many of us who have lost someone have things we may wish to say to those in question. Personally speaking, I suppose it would be appropriate for it to be heartfelt.

[restringing]

Some people who commented here said people come back in their world
I can't imagine it
But I believe them

Yeah
For me
There are things I want to say
But it would be easier if I never had to find out
What I'd do if I had the chance to talk to him again

I think
The past might be better staying in the past

[porcelainandblood]

[There are some incredibly wise words there. Ideally, he is right. It would be better if the past were to stay in the past. Perne can't even deny that, as much as she would like to. Her own past has only served to chain her. Yet it seems that all of her people, in their own ways, are quite the same when it comes to history. It would be nice if she could let it go. And at the same time, she cannot fully convince herself to.

She isn't certain she wants to let hers go.]

I think you are right. Like many ideals, however, I think it is quite easy to say such things and far more difficult for the heart to synchronise with the words. Hopefully you will never have to experience possibly having to face your past or the possibilities that could come with just such a happenstance.

[restringing]

[It's impossible to glean from Mafuyu's responses alone, but in a way, they may be similar... Letting his past chain him down was kind of inevitable until recently.]

It is
But that's fine

You too
It might be better
If none of us have to face it again

Thank you

[porcelainandblood]

I assure you, there is no need to be so free with your gratitude.
All the same, it would seem you are in like company.

I pray that your words hold weight here. Let joy find those here when it will. And may we have the wisdom to embrace it when it does. Without unnecessary hardships.

[restringing]

You're
Very wise

I'll try to be like that too
And take your words to heart

So I can express it someday
And live on
Like you

[porcelainandblood]

I have been called many things. 'Wise' is not usually one of them. I shall take such as a high compliment.

It is the responsibility of each of us to simply be true to ourselves. You, me, and everyone else here. I think that ought to be your only responsibility.

[restringing]

Thanks
We can try together

[porcelainandblood]

I doubt very much you need the assistance, but I will offer you all of the encouragement that I can muster when you find you are in need.
