I'm aware that yesterday's curse was about the prenups more than the actual marriage, but it still made me wonder:

What are your thoughts on relationships in the City, given that people might leave at any time, or return without memories? Not necessarily romantic relationships only; I'm sure the lack of stability has a similar effect on friendships.

A sense of closure?

[binarysky]

Something like that. But I don't know if it's possible to get that completely. It's not like we get an ending when we're still here and just keep going.

[debrief]

In a way, there's an ending, but I don't think that necessarily makes it easier.

[binarysky]

I think you're right.

I know it's selfish, but I don't like seeing people go home, even if they'll be happy there, too.

[debrief]

I don't think it's selfish. It seems only natural to me. If you begrudged them their return, maybe that would be selfish.

[binarysky]

I guess. I just keep thinking they might as well stay longer, if time goes back to the way it was when they return.

[debrief]

Maybe they would, if they had any say in the matter?

[binarysky]

Some would.

[debrief]

Does that help?

[binarysky]

It makes me feel less alone.

[debrief]

It's something.

[binarysky]

It's a lot.

T_T

[debrief]

Do you often feel alone?

;A;

[binarysky]

Not as much now. But I used to, a lot.

[debrief]

I'm glad to hear that's changed.

ugh the bonding I can't

[binarysky]

Me too.

What about you? What do you think of relationships here?

i love it ;;

[debrief]

I think they're worth it, but then I also consider my situation somewhat unusual.

uguu

[binarysky]

Oh...because you were hurt?

[debrief]

In my world, I've died.

[binarysky]

Oh.

[His heart sinks. He was kinda hoping someone had healed him there, too.]

I'm sorry.

[debrief]

It's all right.

( He'd known about the risks and he'd gone after Loki knowing it might be his end. )

[binarysky]

Where I'm from, I'm not dead, but I'm not really around anymore. So I think I understand a little, what it's like.

[debrief]

Not really around anymore?

[binarysky]

Remember when I told you about hearts and stuff and how I'm a Nobody that was made when someone else lost his? Well...in our world, I ended up becoming part of him again. I'm not dead, but I'm not myself anymore.

He's a good guy but it wasn't what I wanted.

[debrief]

I assume that happens in your future? I'm sorry.
