what do you do when something you were told, turns out not to be true anymore? not true here? when you have more time than you thought. i didn't have to really think about the future. but here, i don't have to worry. i can plan. i mean, besides helping on missions.

[Being told he probably wouldn't live much longer than a year or so. And then Aurora reassured him that that wasn't the case. Vivi now has a lot to consider....]

I think you just have to decide what feels true to you. Not pretending the truth doesn't matter. It does.

But you also get to decide what to do with it.

[ornitiers]

what feels true to me? i guess. i suppose i just kind of expected, resigned myself to not living for much longer. and now aurora said i can, here. i'm just trying to figure out what to do with that, now.

[huntrix]

That's what you have to think about. And that'll become your new truth.

[ornitiers]

my new truth. yeah. i'll think about it. it's just not something i had to consider, back home. what i'd do next.

[He had just kind of....rolled with helping out his friends. Traveling with them. But here? It's different.]

[huntrix]

Maybe not, but it's not a bad thing.

[ornitiers]

i guess so. it's just giving me a lot to think about now.

[huntrix]

It is a lot.

But no one is asking you to make decisions right now, are they?

[ornitiers]

no. nobody is. not right now.

[huntrix]

So the only person you should answer for is yourself.

[ornitiers]

myself. right. yeah. thank you.

[huntrix]

You're welcome.

[ornitiers]

i'm making a list for quina. of food here i think they might like to try. maybe i can do something like that? for things i want to do? but it's harder if i'm not sure about options, i guess....

[huntrix]

A list sounds like a good idea. A list of food, activities, things you never tried before.

People do it all the time.

[ornitiers]

people do? i guess that's good. i mean. if it's normal. my list might be long, i feel like it gets longer every time people mention most things around here.

[huntrix]

It can be as long or as short as you want it to be.

[ornitiers]

maybe i should get one of those notebooks. or a lot of them.

[huntrix]

That sounds like a good idea.

My friend does that. She puts all her ideas in notebooks.

[ornitiers]

then i will! i'll find some and start my own list! not just the one of foods for quina.

[huntrix]

Good luck.

[ornitiers]

thank you. you, too! i mean. i hope things work out, being here and all, for you as well.

[huntrix]

I'm sure it will.

[ posturing? probably, but it's not about her right now. ]

[ornitiers]

i hope so. is your friend here? the one that writes in the notebooks? you're not alone, are you?

[huntrix]

She's not, but it's fine.

I'm sure I'll see her soon.

[ornitiers]

oh. so are you alone here, too? none of my friends from home are here, either. but i've been making new friends here. so it isn't so bad?

[huntrix]

That's nice.

I probably will do the same, slowly.
