[ Again, all you hear is faint rumblings of something in the distance, but you're moving too fast for you to really be worried about it ]

[ You see a light at the end of the path! ]

[GOES TOWARDS THE LIGHT]

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

[ The light eventually turns out to be a large fire. Cowering in front of the fire is Liter, who is shaking and crying, refusing to look at it. There… seems to be something inside the fire? Except it doesn’t seem to be burning at all.

Behind the fire, you can see what looked to be two more fires, except they’ve long been burnt out. ]

What the heck?!

[staring.... in between the fire and awkwardly crying Liter]

What's going on?

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

It's there, waiting for me!

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

The... fire?

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

The funeral pyre!

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

But you're not going to die! You're right here!

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

But I will die!

I know I will.

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

No, you won't! The bad games are generous.... but you'll be okay in the end!

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

That doesn't matter.

All that matters is that in the end, I would have still died.

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

No way! That's never going to happen!

...Well, I guess it'll happen eventually... But when you're really old and stuff, okay!

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

I don't know how long I'll live.

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

Really, really, really, really long, I'm betting!

But there's no use to worry about it, you know?

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

...Why not?

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

Everyone dies eventually. That's why you have to make the most of things while you're alive.... instead of worrying when you're going to kick it, you know?

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

I.. just don't want to die.

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

Nobody does! But you're a pretty tough guy.... kind of. [MAYBE?? IDK]

And you've got your team and your friends, you know? We're not just gonna let you die.

Re: The Forest

[perspire]

[ wonders if you'd say that considering what you know now............ ]

Re: The Forest

[acemedium]

[yes, well, she's not going to let you get murdered or anything]

[despite]

[yeah]

I mean, we've got some things to talk about.... but we're not going to abandon you.

Okay? Let's figure this out one step at a time.
