What is even the point of becoming close to anyone here, if they can all just leave as quickly as they came?

Oh, sure, let's all play our little games and finish our silly little quests and feel this sense of camaraderie working towards a goal we all damn well know is unaccomplishable. And along the way, we can learn the magic of friendship only to have it taken away by the Rifts without any further explanation.

It would be nicer to believe we were being held to the whims of some vengeful god instead of the unfeeling randomness of the Rifts and their "unknowable" magic.

Then, at least, there would be someone to curse for the cruelty of it.

It puts you in a rather impossible situation. I guess there are some blessings to having that choice taken from you.

... I suppose there are. Yet somehow it does make you feel guilty too. I've wondered sometimes if I did something differently I could have changed things.

It's a little useless to think over what you could have done though.

[Okay sure, time portals and all but Ashi doesn't know the details of how those work anymore than Jack does so.]

We can't change the past, no matter how much we might want to.

I understand that much. It's hard to be satisfied with that though.

[subigito]

I understand.

[ There's so much more he could say, but even anon like this he's too guarded. This is really the best he can come up with. ]
