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.

un: kei5 (wow sorry for tl;dr)
haha, i actually ... came here from another place entirely
[ ... wait ]
err, what i mean is, the place i was in before prismatica was another place where i'd been taken there against my will, across like... universes? i guess? or whatever
some of the people who were there with me came along here, somehow
some of them didn't remember at first, others it was like we never parted
but all in all... i don't really know how to answer this stuff... though i do know what you mean. your home is your home, but the longer you spend away from it and the longer you're settled in a new place, the more that the new place becomes "home". leaving it gets harder and harder to think about
i miss my friends from home. but i've also been gone for about 3 years... it's really weird to think back on my hometown and the last thing i was doing there before i got ripped out of my life and thrown into space... it's like... that person isn't me anymore. not just due to aging and stuff, but going back now, after everything i've been through, seems more scary than staying here forever because i don't know if i could get used to it again
i guess what i will say, no matter what happens, i don't want to forget any of it. forgetting it means forgetting people i love... and if we were to part...
i'd rather live with the pain than not. because those memories are important.
(anon forever) shhshhh it's ok this is /chefs kiss
I understand that feeling. Not being able to get used to it again, that is. "Home" was so limited to me, followed a strict standard of rules under the guise of an open world. Being able to make my own choices and follow my own path in Prismatica makes me wonder if I'll simply go insane if I return.
That gave me a thought: What if we really aren't that person anymore on a much more... meta scale? If the existence of multiple universes stand true, wouldn't it make sense that perhaps there are alternate versions of us as well? Perhaps there is a version of us still walking the same path as we'd started, or many other versions of us all walking down similar paths but branching off into different endings and this is just one of them. It's partially wishful thinking, but also can't help but believe this theory has some merit to it.
That's a good sentiment.
I believe in that wholeheartedly as well.
Thank you for sharing.
