<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Stops, shakes my head and scoffs in disbelief*
I know you’re not saying that because of me. My home is gone, and there’s nowhere else I belong.

@Unhinged

Not having a place elsewhere doesn’t mean you deserve to stay here… No one does.

*Steps over onto the half with Faering as it goes, panting*

@Valiance

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Cranes my neck to look across both halves*
That may... Look ou—

@Nimda

*Both halves collapse, smashing into each other and imploding with both of you at the center*

@Nimda

*Extends my arms out to either side before disappearing in the chaos*

@GalaxyRaider

Someone who deserves to wallow in the wrongs committed by their own hands just might.
*Looks down at my own*

@Unhinged

*Stands in silence for a long while before speaking*
If… If Nemid hurt you at least as much as he hurt me, then I know you don’t want to stay here.

@GalaxyRaider

*Wipes my face before turning around*
You’re right. But my wants shouldn’t matter. They should never matter again.

@Unhinged

*Exhales*
I’m not here to tell you what to do. But you’re alive, and unless you’re telling me the actions Nemid influenced you to do were done of your own desire, you can leave with me. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few months… If you stop moving forward, you’ll drown in the sorrow, and the pity. It will become you. And then, it’s harder than ever to break free.

The people who you cared for before… If they cared for you as well, then I know they wouldn’t want you to do this to yourself.

@GalaxyRaider

*Lets out a quivering breath before straightening my posture*
Fine. Fine… I don’t know where I’ll go once I leave, but I’l go.

@Unhinged

*Shrugs and shakes my head*
I still haven’t found out where I’m going either.

… And?

@Unhinged

And nothing.
*Turns back toward the massive construct resting in the earth*
I just know if I stop, it’ll be the end of me.

*Opens my mouth, about to ask a question, but I stop, nod and look up at the machine as well*

@Unhinged

*A dome of energy envelopes the area we and the machine occupy, then flashes, and we all disappear*

Because this first test teaches me something about you, and something important. It could have saved several lives had I turned away students who failed.

@Techspert

*sighs*
Okay.
*does a weird body shake that ends with me kicking my leg*
Okay.

@Valiance

*A wide ray of golden light continues to pierce the ruins of the entirety, even as it crashes on top of me*

This is a small area of hyper-accelerated time. It’s very dangerous. This exercise lasts as long as you decide it does, and you leave once you’re done—you’re not here to play hero or prove your machismo. The second you would rather be doing anything other than standing there, leave. Understood?
