008 Things Aquired - [text;]

[ossifragant]

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?

[France answers anyways. Partly because he needs to say it for his own sanity. Partly because he's afraid if he doesn't say it now he'll forget it as he's wont to do.]

No, I haven't told him, and precisely because I know it will sadden him. I don't want him to be sad. I'm sorry to burden you with this, too. From what I understand of your world, it is a very sad place.

Even though I always tell people that honesty is the best route in a relationship, I am a hypocrite. But I suppose that is just how I was designed.

You have my word that I'm not going to tell him. I don't want to see him sad. I couldn't do something so terrible to him.

So long as the both of you remain here, you'll both have happiness. That's good enough for me.
