*Raises an eyebrow inquisitively before glancing in that direction*

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

*Glances toward you very briefly with a side eye*

@Stratocracy

I bet you thought it meant death.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*As you do, that familiar magnolia scent manifests again, and it simply brings more clarity as you inhale, also helps you understand Misty's plea in a way she clearly refuses or is presently able to fully grasp*

Hmm? Oh hello there! *I say with an innocent wave of my hand*

@The Multiverse

*Sighs to myself*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Consider me all ears.

@Stratocracy

Should be clear.
*Points up to the castle inside the skull*
Him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

About Prism?

@Stratocracy

Mhm! I have one friend, and it's not him.
*Eyes you up and down*
It's not you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

He surely doesn’t. But that’s hardly my point.

@Stratocracy

You still don't know me, and like the rest won't hear when I tell you. You're wrong about him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You are. I’ve seen you. And he certainly doesn’t make an effort to avoid you either.

@Stratocracy

How would he know that he died?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Then why is he even still around?

@Stratocracy

*Shrugs again*
I'm not fast. And a lot of him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You’re right. He’s something else. Something else that matters, and for an entirely different reason at that.

@Stratocracy

He did, for a long time. Then he did not.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yet you keep him around. And not only that, you don't exclusively hurt him.

@Stratocracy

*Lifts a hand in quasi-acknowledgement*
A toy. He's not him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That's not the sort of relationship someone pursues in absence of everything else.

@Stratocracy

*Shrugs*
Meh. I kill him a lot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

And being with Prism is a means to that end, then? Fueled by spite?

@Stratocracy

*Shakes my head with incredulity*
No, he's... bleh. Not who I want to spite.
