008 Things Aquired - [text;]

So here's a question for all of you. What's the furthest you've been from home? Before coming here, I mean. This place doesn't count. I want to know how far people have traveled before coming here.

The name of the place you're from, the name of the place you like going. What your favorite city is called. Things like that.

I've always liked traveling. But I used to spend years in one place, even so. Always found myself drawn back to where I was born. It's one of those interesting things about people. I don't exactly miss the place, but I do find myself thinking about it sometimes. What it would be like if we could go back with memories of this place instead of forgetting everything.

So there's a second part of my question, I guess.

Say you go home, but you remember everything from here. What would you do with that information?

What if you arrived home at a time before the last thing you remember?

I don't think so. Friendship works in mysterious ways; leeway for the sake of a friend isn't an unheard-of thing, either.

[Except for that whole "he got everyone killed" thing. He's pretty sure that there should be an exception to that sort of thing.]

You have a point. In any event, there's not much I can do about it here. Dwelling on the past doesn't do any good.

[...WELL, OKAY, YES, THERE'S THAT.]

Not much, no. Sometimes the most you can do is learn from it and move on, and try to do better in the future.

Being here like this...it's something of a second chance for you, isn't it?

It is, yeah. I've gotten used to this place. I didn't think I'd be saying that, but it's true.

It's strange, there are a number of people from my world here. Some I never met before coming here.

I like everyone I've met. Maybe there are others I haven't met yet, I'm not certain.

[But then again he likes people in general.]
