yo, blues

i don't wanna worry you, but also i think you need to know about this...

i'm going away for a while.

there was a situation. it's messy and complicated, but it got resolved. i made a deal with mammon to save a few people, but because of the deal i gotta pack up and head back with mammon to his island for a bit.

i'll be back, tho. i promise you that.

[red_song]

Alright. Please, be careful. I don't want you hurt.

[ It's honestly a breath of fresh air that Proto doesn't ask the details. It's better for them both that he doesn't know. He doesn't need to worry on the heels of losing his brother and all the pain he's going through. ]

you know me, man. always careful 😉

i shouldn't be there for much longer than a month so i'll text you when i get back. take care of yourself in the meantime

[Oh, accepting doesn't mean that he won't worry. He's already worrying. He will likely continue worrying. He was not happy with this sort of emotion at all.]

I am very good at taking care of myself these days. And I have others to help me.

i'm glad, blues

i'm glad you're finding people to let in

and i sure hope they're treating you right and with the respect you deserve

[red_song]

I believe they are. They are better than people back home, so this is likely a good sign.

[twatter]

kinda funny, isn't it? how there are better people in hell than there are in entire worlds sometimes...

[red_song]

Perhaps. Perhaps we are wrong about the people in those worlds.

[twatter]

eh. not my world. the only thing worse than the humans there are the gods. but i don't plan on going back there if i can help it

[red_song]

I thought you wanted to get home. Was I misunderstanding?

[twatter]

i had. at first. i thought i could bring all the people i cared about back to my world with me

but over time, i realized the better option was to find another place

it's fucking corny, but like. a place where we could all be free.

cuz if you think about it, hell somehow managed to find a way to drag fucking all of us from different worlds to here. no reason it can't do that shit in reverse, right?

[red_song]

Yes, reverse engineering should be possible. But... but wouldn't you need to know the journey before the destination?
