Time, huh. I don't even know how much time we have in this world before we get yoinked out before we know it...
But I know I'm being pessimistic again. It has been fun, living my life the way I could never have dreamed of back home. It's the same case for you too, isn't it?
Exactly why you gotta be a little annoying sometimes. I've been here for less, yet there's already been so many people that have passed me by. You can't befriend everyone, but doing so halfheartedly isn't the answer, either.
[ … as for her question: ]
… My life really wasn't that bad where I came from, you know. It's more or less the same as what I do here.
I know that. Which is why I have that time limit. Which you passed anyway.
[ bestie............ :/ ]
And you say that, but the state of your homeland and how you act around the topic say otherwise. You have to know by now that nothing gets past me, Elysium.
Think about all the fun we could've had before then if you didn't have that arbitrary pre-requisite?
Just kidding.
And, yeah. … There's that. But like I said, there's not much I can do as a single guy. Not for the time being. Until then, I'm at an impasse. If only you'd let me take you to Siesta to begin with; I doubt you'd have this perspective now… Still, it's not like my work with Rhodes Island isn't fulfilling, either. I'm surrounded by incredible people who are working to better people's lives, day by day.
You didn't have to take me back to your hometown either if you didn't want to, you know. I gave you an out at that time and you didn't take it.
[ SO DON'T BLAME IT ON HER tf.......... ]
Although, is that really all there is? In our company, we just signed up for our own selfish interests. Altruism just seems alien to me unless there's money involved, because that's usually the case.
You did. But I pitched soooooo many different places and you still chose it despite everything. Who could say no to that?
[ too late!!! ]
… Anyway. That doesn't have to be the last time I show you around. One of the wonders of travelling is being able to experience and see things for yourself to form your own opinion.
How about you tell me if you've changed your mind after everything's said and done? Give it a fair chance.
It's... just as you said last time. I chose that place because it has a connection to you.
[ so. yeah. ]
It's going to take more than a trip all around the world to change my view on certain things. I don't even know why you're going this far for me without expecting anything in return.
But if you insist... I'll think about it. Maybe next time we won't just stare from afar.

Someone has to raise the next generation of journeymen!
But I told you, didn't I? That you owe it to me to tell me about your experiences.
It's a plan, Ishmael.

That depends if you can handle what I'm about to tell you.
And it's not just a plan anymore, but a promise. [ ... ] I'll see you around.
