[ She considers this sincerely. It would be too easy to just say yes... ]
... Yes and no. It's all I've got from home, and the stuff it can do makes me feel better. So in that sense, it's precious to me. And it has photos that are precious to me on it.
The phone itself would be replaceable back home, though.
We do not plan to keep you here forever if that is what you are asking. While we cannot say why you all were the ones chosen to come here, we do not wish to keep you from your destinies forever.
It just... Made me think. About what we're all coming from. That's our destiny, right? [ that seems to be the part she's primarily focused on, even though she adds on a kind of after-thought: ] Then what is this?
Certainly, you are in control of your own future - but do you always believe without fail that you will always make one choice? Can the same be said for others?
If those choices are taken, can the paths not diverge?
Not in all cases. It is hard to say how people will change if they have but one conversation earlier, if they discover something new that they didn't in another situation...
It's cheap, that's all. Heartfelt speeches to change who someone is and rescue the villain... It's not any different than manipulation, and that isn't how the real world works.

The only real request I have is that I wish I could charge my phone.
no subject
You'd need... electricity? And cords...
[they seem to only barely really get the technical bit but at least it's not totally lost on them]
no subject
An outlet in the house I'm saying in and a charging cord would be reeeaaally nice. Then I could use my phone to take photos and tell time.
But I understand if you can't do that.
no subject
Is your phone very precious to you?
no subject
... Yes and no. It's all I've got from home, and the stuff it can do makes me feel better. So in that sense, it's precious to me. And it has photos that are precious to me on it.
The phone itself would be replaceable back home, though.

It may not be a free favor that I can grant... but will you come back in a week's time? I will have a clearer answer for you then.
[aka my b on the slow progress on this thread cola we can have a new one in the new week so you don't have to deal with the ic time discrepancy!]

in the meantime, Akane nods. ]
Are we ever going to get to go home?

[ Hm. Hmmm. ]

no subject
I do believe that one might have multiple destinies, depending on the choices in one's life.
Perhaps if you choose another course here, you might create a new future for yourself.
Is that something you wish for?
no subject
Isn't multiple destinies against the whole point of it, though?

The tides of time are fickle as well.

It's something I've witnessed in others as well.
no subject
Hmm. Sounds unrealistic!
no subject
Perhaps so.
But in the years I have lived, I suppose I am capable of witnessing more than the average person.
Nonetheless, it is very possible.

[there's a thoughtful moment to consider that before lune shakes her head]
Mm. You are correct. In the end, we are only trying to see how well other people can move, aren't we?
And to say what results after that, and how worthy they are in the scheme of things, is only subjective.
