>>Chat with Roo...again.

MM: Roo? Are you awake?

RM:...no

MM: Roo, i need to talk to you.

RM: *she sighs and turns on a lamp* Is this about your weird drug trip?

MM: No. I mean, yes, but also no. Its more than that.

MM: I...I don't know...gahd...I don't know...anything about anything, Roo.

RM: Are those drugs still in your system?

MM: Just listen, alright? I don't know anything about who I am or who i'm meant to be. I had this weird, almost fantastical experience and now i'm just kind of...here. I wanna be something more. I wanna be who i was. When I was new and refreshing and-aand cool! But i don't know how to be. An...and i don't want to die like this.

RM: Pal, you aren't going to die. Well, yes you will, but it won't be for a while. Actually no, i can't say that. Point is: You had a life before that point and you will have one afterwards. Sure, it might not be exciting and magical, but thats just how life is. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky few who find a game that transports them to another world or get involved in some weird mystery and become some sort of awesome clone of yourself with cool superpowers. But, more likely than not, you're probably just gonna...exist. No ultimate destiny, no complicated story, just...life.

MM: Roo, i can't do that. I need to know that something is out there for me. It can't just be some sort off one-off, i know that there's something for me.

RM: Do you?

MM:..I...*sigh* Roo, I feel...stuck. Like, some sort of weird amorphous blob of untapped potential. Or unknown potential? I just can't help but feel that i'm some sort of...mistake. Like, i was meant to live a life much more significant than this one, but through some weird choices and multiple dead ends, I ended up in the "bad ending" at the start of the game. You know, like, when there's a choice to make and you pick the wrong one and you go through this whole debacle thinking "Well, i wouldn't have gotten this far if i made the wrong decision" and you make even more decisions and all of a sudden you find yourself with...nowhere else to go. I just wanna start over.

RM: Alright, then just start over.

MM: What?
