[stop no they have to believe!! and so do i because i refuse to let it just be them.]
Isn't it? [he looks pretty fond of the idea of belief.] Believing in my friends and myself is how we got through our biggest battles. Without it...it's way too easy to give up and let the darkness win. So even if they don't believe in the same stuff we do, I hope people have something to hold on to the longer we're here.
[no this is me and sora not saying things it's fine, we're fine.]
You're right. [he can't do anything but agree.] But I won't be happy about it if other people here don't get that far. So we have to do even better to make sure everyone gets home.
I do, too. Even the people who've been hurting others...Shima had his reasons, and I'm sure the people last week had reasons, too. I wish I knew what they were, but...they didn't ask to be here either.
[he's trying to understand them, at least, but it's hard.]
I'm gonna talk to Shima later and see if I can get a better idea what he might've known. Even if it's nothing, it's not a bad idea. Figured he wouldn't mind the company either.
If I find out anything though...I'll let you know.
Still, Ange seems thrilled, nodding brightly. She will follow him to where he is going to work on his cooking, and do whatever small menial tasks he assigns her to keep her from ruining the dish.
This is probably a good break point so I can come at you for more once we see who is dead.]
[bless ange, she's perfect even if sora's absolutely giving her menial tasks so she doesn't hurt herself. also yes. come at me, i'll dm you post-invest or something so we can figure stuff out ♥]

Right...! That makes me feel a little bit more optimistic. Thank you, Sora... it is nice to have something to believe in at times like this.

[Ange is quiet for a long moment as she contemplates that... and then she nods quietly.]
You are right. I hope everyone here has something like that.
Having something like that... it will keep us all going. No matter what.
no subject
What else are you holding onto, Ange? What keeps you going?
no subject
... Do you remember... when we were talking about exploring... and I said there was someone I wished to bring with me?
no subject
Yeah. That friend of yours, right? Or...the one you want to be friends with, anyway.
no subject
[Her Crush.]
I think she is amazing! And... I would like to get back home and talk with her more... and travel with her... and so many things!
no subject
Sounds like it's very important to you. If that's what you can hold onto and that's the thing to give you strength? Keep it.
no subject
[Never ever... her big lesbian crush.]
And... you have home, right, Sora? Home and your [dokis] precious friends there.
no subject
something in sora's expression kind of flickers a little even while he smiles, because home is very important (and so are his friends and his dokis.)]
Yeah. I'll find a way back no matter what, so I have to keep believing. I can't let go of my world.
no subject
... I have faith in you. You are... one of the brightest lights in this entire place, Sora.
So you, definitely, will make it home to your world.
no subject
You're right. [he can't do anything but agree.] But I won't be happy about it if other people here don't get that far. So we have to do even better to make sure everyone gets home.
no subject
... That is true. We should... keep hoping that everyone gets back home.
[even as everyone dies around Sora.]
Everyone deserves to return, no matter what it is that happens here. I do believe that.
no subject
I do, too. Even the people who've been hurting others...Shima had his reasons, and I'm sure the people last week had reasons, too. I wish I knew what they were, but...they didn't ask to be here either.
[he's trying to understand them, at least, but it's hard.]
no subject
... I wish we could just... ask them. I feel as though perhaps we would understand things better if we could.
I worry sometimes that maybe they knew something we do not, and that is why they made that choice.
no subject
If I find out anything though...I'll let you know.
no subject
[She takes a deep breath and squares her shoulders.]
Even if it is nothing, or if his reasons seem sad, or bad, or difficult to understand... I would like to know.
The more we know... the more we will be able to help everyone here and the Realm, right...?
no subject
...I just have to finish cooking something for him first.
no subject
[say no she can't cook]
no subject
[he will never be able to say no to ange.]
no subject
