There are some questions that I have been mulling over for quite some time now. As someone who has returned home once before and returned back to Prismatica with their memories in tact on multiple occasions (apparently some people return, only to be a blank slate), I've had the utmost displeasure of experiencing a harrowing bit of dissonance: My obligation to the world I grew up in, and the freedom I craved in such a liberating sandbox environment as Prismatica. The longer I allow myself to settle down here, the more reluctant I am to leave, and each subsequent ping-ponging back and forth (especially against my own will) leaves me with a heavier heart.

Seeing such a varying degree of opinions both on the network and in person, I've always been curious as to how people feel about their status as a "moonblessed" citizen and in turn, their unpredictable predicament.

If and when the day of reckoning and/or returning is upon us (and should the higher powers be so kind to provide us a choice at all), would you ever wish to return back to your own pocket of the universe? Or multiverse, if Prismatica is indeed set within a different universe altogether?

What would hold you back?

Or if there is nothing holding you back:

what would you take back with you (memories, tangible items, people, etc)?

Or! Bonus question:

In an ideal situation, (let's just throw all propriety to the wind here for a moment) how would you like things to be? This one might be a tricky one. I think this could also easily tie in to the second question, for reasons I assume I don't have to spell out.

I do not want to return home
There are things here that I could not have in my world
Bonds that would need to be broken...
I don't want that

Forgetting my memories of this world would be too cruel
My relationships
My friends
They hold great value to me
Given the choice, I would choose to stay

The only thing I would ask for is a way to contact my family
I would want to let them know that I am well
And that I am happy

(anon forever)

Forgetting would truly be terrible.
While it did create some unpleasant stirrings in my heart, I am glad I did not forget anything.
Certainly helped me grow from it.

A way to communicate between time and space would be quite a feat.
Something I'd wish for as well.

Nothing else really tying you to your home, then?

[saezuru]

Yes
If I could, I would like to send a letter to them
Physical proof so that they know that I am thinking of them
And that I made this choice for myself

But there is nothing else
All that I need is here

[handsomefoil]

A more personalized touch.
That sounds nice, actually.

I'm glad you have something so resolute in your life.

[saezuru]

It would be all that I ask for

Months ago, I may have faltered
But I am certain of my decision now
More certain than I have ever been

[handsomefoil]

I could take the option or leave it, in all honesty.
Contact would probably get awkward on my end.
Can't hurt though.

Would you say that it was solely because of your new environment that led you to be more confident in your decisions?

[saezuru]

If it is awkward, then a letter would be best

[ ngl that's why he wants a letter... less chance of dealing with his family's feelings. that's cowardly!! but oh well. ]

Yes
Being here has helped me in many ways, I think
Before, I was more reserved

I would have wanted to stay regardless
But it would have caused tension
I'm confident of my decision now

{ the cowardly and uncowardly route are both very tempting... }

Good luck and perhaps some diligence has been on your side then.
It worked out for you and that's a happy ending if I've ever seen one.

{ buuuut henry already knew this from what he could recall from that future portal. the fact that doumeki and yashiro work so well together in such a place like Prismatica is almost heartwarming. he's honestly glad for them. }
