I've been thinking. I've been thinking for a long time now.

They -- the enemy, that is. They treat us all as something inhuman, even the ones whose bodies haven't changed. We were all born human... animal company excluded, of course. But what are we now? Some of us are turning into monsters. Even those of us who look human are... something that aren't.

...I mean, look at me. I'm a soulless husk when you get down to it.

I asked you all something when I first arrived here. It feels like a long time ago now, but tell me. What do you think you can do?

How can you protect anyone?

Friends, huh? I'm not sure I'd jump to us all being friends just because we're in the same boat.

[ursoreckless]

who else can we trust but people who are just like us? but you should have some here, people that you can call friends?

[lackinginfaith]

Do you?

[ursoreckless]

yes

[lackinginfaith]

...That's good to hear. So you can depend on someone other than yourself, huh?

[ursoreckless]

yes. and they can depend on me if they need help. it is always a two-way thing. we can't fight any of this alone no matter how much we want to

[lackinginfaith]

...Hm. You've got a point. A point some people are listening to. There are kids running around trying to save the world and they're actually accomplishing things, as much as I hate to admit it.

You're not the same as you started out, are you?

[ursoreckless]

i'm still me, even if i feel like i've lived through two lives now.

[lackinginfaith]

Maybe we are. Maybe we aren't. But maybe right now, we have more important things to worry about.

[ursoreckless]

don't we always? getting too stressed out won't help though.

[lackinginfaith]

You sound like someone's publicist.

[ursoreckless]

live around media types and you tend to pick up what they're saying.

[lackinginfaith]

You don't have to tell me twice.
