I mean sleep right now. And yes, you certainly can.

@Fractured

I might. I’m not tired yet, but it’d be nice to sleep off this pain. Are you sure I’m alright? It’s just one big ache, but it’s everywhere.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Do you need any more sleep?

@Fractured

I try to get enough each night, but maybe. Uh—is there a chance I can stay here for a while? Longer than a night?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

I don't attach negative thoughts to it is my point.

@Fractured

I understand. I have to run away pretty often. It just doesn’t last.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

There's nothing shameful about running away.

@Fractured

It’s not about shame, but thanks for the encouragement.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Rest for now. There will be time to do what you need to do in the future.

@Fractured

You’re right. For once, I feel like I can run far enough that I never have to worry again. I don’t want to run—but it’s nice not to be afraid.

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

That sounds like a tired life to live.

@Fractured

... Yeah. Yeah, it can be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Have you done anything like that before?

@Fractured

That’s been the last eight years of my life. I could never run away far enough, so the only solution was turning around and fighting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Is it the best thing to do?

@Fractured

I think so. I’ve learned how to dismantle a group like that without leaving chaos in my wake. That’s a skill that’s necessary.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

What do you answer yourself?

@Fractured

I feel like I have this duty to. When there’s something that needs to be done, and I know I can do it—especially something I’m good at—I can’t imagine myself ignoring it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Why are you getting involved in these? Couldn't you fade out to the background?

@Fractured

*Sighs and puts my hands behind my head* I ask myself that all the time.
