[Karasu attaches a link to their conversation.]

See for yourself. Our conversation wasn't locked.

[ In the aftermath of Karasu's revelation, Ren can't even be that saddened by the conversation he reads. ]

ok
ill talk to him
thanks

[undyingcrow]

Good. He has a great deal of faith in you.

[...

He could leave it at that, and yet...]

So, you chose his reality.

[flightpen]

[ There it is. ]

go ahead, get it out of your system

[undyingcrow]

It sickens me, obviously, but you likely already know that.

I had already suspected that if we chose Maruki's reality, I would cease to be "myself." Every flaw, every traumatic experience that shaped me would be scrubbed away. What is that, if not another form of death?

I'm certain some other versions of me want to mold him back to the person he was.

Having spoken to him, I believe his ability to perceive and understand the world around him is more pertinent. He is who he is now, and by the sound of it, you have assumed some semblance of responsibility for your mistake.

So, really, I fail to see what harming you would accomplish, but I will be watching to ensure you keep your word this time.

[flightpen]

is that it or do you have some more opinions

[undyingcrow]

No, I believe that's all.

Keep your word, and we won't have any issues.
