... Yes, you're right. Though to what end, I wonder. Are we meant to endure for the sake of enduring, or are we to prove something?

[aerodynamic]

This feels a little drastic to endure for the sake of enduring. [ they nearly died and for what. ] So then the question is... what're we trying to prove?

[lucentia]

That we're worthy of the truth, perhaps? However, I'm not sure what that entails.

[aerodynamic]

Maybe it's a sign that everything's not what it seems here. [ which is worrisome. ] Not that I know what that entails either.

[lucentia]

This place does seem fond of its illusions and the like. [frowns.] It's difficult to say.

[aerodynamic]

What do you think the chances are this whole thing is one giant illusion?

[lucentia]

... I am not even sure where to begin with that.

[aerodynamic]

[ he lets his head thud back against the wall as he stares at the ceiling. ]

On the one hand, it would mean things aren't necessarily as bad. On the other, that would mean all of this is even crazier to be going through without really knowing why.

[lucentia]

Honestly, even if it's unpleasant... if it still feels real either way, I think I might prefer for it to be actually as it seems.

[aerodynamic]

You and me both. If only because then at least it's not all for nothing. That's the last thing any of us want I think.

[lucentia]

Indeed. Even ordeals have their merits, to know that you surpassed them. If everything is just fake, then where does that leave us?

[aerodynamic]

It leaves us looking like a bunch of dumbasses, mostly. And I don't wanna be there.

[lucentia]

... Yes, I'd rather not come out of this as a fool either.

[aerodynamic]

The best thing we can do now is keep our eyes open and keep talking to each other. The more information we have, the better.
