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.

No, you misunderstand. I meant with the person who left. It would have been easier to simply not get involved with him at all.

You can get involved with people and not get attached. Or you could at least be happy that he got out of this place and is back where he belongs.

Unless he's dead there, then feel however you want. Get angry, burn something down, start fights. That's what I'd do.

[subigito]

He isn't dead. He has a whole, full life ahead of him, as far as I can tell.

But that just makes it worse! I'm supposed to be happy for him. But what about me?

[lordofcalamity]

So you basically want to throw yourself a pity party?

Instead of complaining to the population at large, find something to do about it? Figure out how he got out of here so fast, or find someone to take your frustrations out on.

[subigito]

Fine. I will go make myself useful.
