That's what bothers me - all that collateral damage, deciding for us that we're worth sacrificing, and still... no guarantee that it would even do what she wanted it to.
That's all we can do, right? Hope for the best. We did everything we could already, so now we just have to move on.
I wish we could have talked her out of it. But by that point, she had already done so much damage to herself. [ruby truly turned herself into a bomb. man. monika sighs.] Well, it is what it is. And now it's time for us to go back to our regular lives. As impossible as that may sound for some of us.
[she is so worried about how some of their normies will adjust, but.]
She already pushed herself too far, didn't she? But I wish she'd at least given us a chance to help. [ hah. ] It does sound impossible. At the very least, we all need a ton of therapy, after this.
[ as for that... ]
I thought I would, but... I'm not sure yet. I'm still thinking about it. What about you? Did you decide where you're going?
We tried. It just... wasn't enough. [It rarely is.] I hope we can all take out time to recover after this. Though I don't know if therapy will be an option for most of us. I mean, how do you explain any of this to a normal therapist?
[imagine telling them about your eight weeks in murderland. insane.]
You still have a little time to decide. And I'm sure most of us would be happy to welcome you in our worlds. [not her, though. because. you know.] I'm sticking with Netzach. Whether that means going to his world with him or convincing him to join me somewhere else.
[she's been pretty settled for a while, at least.]
I was thinking of maybe framing it as extremely realistic dreams?
Yeah, I know. I want to hear what Alex and Jonas are doing first, and I'll figure out what to do from there. If nothing else, I guess there's still a chance that I can fix things back home.
[ he shrugs... but smiles at that. ]
Good luck to both of you, then. Netzach-san's a really good guy.
And I'm glad you guys will have each other, too. It'll be a lot easier to adjust when you aren't alone. [ ... ] But no. Setsu has a lot to deal with in their world, and it's very important to them, so none of us would ever want to keep them from it. They have to go back.

... He is. I'm happy I won't have to say goodbye to him yet. [but, hm...] Is Setsu not going with one of you? Their world seems pretty rough, too.

... I hope they manage to figure it out. They've already been through so much.
