And? So what?

[ remains a concentrated pillbug of hate ]

[dijun]

... I only hope that you were not put into that thermos.

[ said with a sort of - sad compassion? not pity, but rather regret. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ barks out a harsh laugh ]

Not that time, no. But before then? Two years trapped in that stupid thing.

[dijun]

[ you're gonna get a memshare back in a few more tags that's gonna make this real interesting. but for now... ]

I'm glad, then, that there wasn't a third instance of it. That you were able to live freely, hopefully?

[foreverphantom]

If by freely you mean trapped in this body that ended up decaying and falling apart barely a month in? Then yeah, sure.

[dijun]

[ fuckin YIKES brimstone ]

Could it not sustain your soul in it..?

[foreverphantom]

I don't think any of the clone bodies can--apparently it's a known issue. Not that I knew about it until it started falling apart.

But it was either try this, or stop existing altogether.

[dijun]

... trying it, maybe that is what allowed you to join Heaven, unfortunate as that is.

Perhaps a solution could be found here? Especially if we are meant to be healing. [ this is before kiraman's explanation so he's just. guessing? ] They could very well be able to stabilize your body. Or another world could very well have the technology or magic that would sustain the body.

[foreverphantom]

I don't care about the body. In fact, I'd rather not have it--I hate looking like a child. I'd be perfectly happy staying as a ghost forever.

...I just don't want to be trapped.

[dijun]

If you choose to return, at the end of all of this, will you opt to remain a ghost? Or seek a stable, physical form?

Or will it be a matter of what will ensure you retain your freedom?

[foreverphantom]

...the latter, I guess. I'd prefer to go back to being a ghost, but if the only way to keep me from vanishing is to tether me to a human body, then I have no choice but to put up with it.

[dijun]

[ well. he's about to comment in return, thoughtful, contemplative, but -

congrats, a memshare in return! i apologize that this is 20 minutes of genshin cutscenes. it's easier to watch than read because there's so much dialogue and lore i'm sorry. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ comes back here a literal whole ass week later bc i was too braindead to handle 20 minutes of lore

but now i have and i'm here to continue

anyway this is one way to learn you're talking to a god, i guess, ]

...so that's what you call kindness, huh? Imprisoning your friend for god knows how long?
