[ For all that Emma tries not to brood, she missed space Christmas and news of Pan's curse has her feeling particularly sentimental. Reflective, even. And the prospect of losing her memories, losing her loved ones, only serves to remind her that sooner or later, they're all trying, in some capacity, to lose the people they've grown to care about aboard the Tranquility. ]
A friend of mine pointed out a while back that not everyone has a home to go back to at this point. Or one worse than what's here, whether that means they're dead or just some other kind of screwed.
[ Strangely, with Dean back now, she has to wonder if he'd say the same again. That staying on the ship, even as it is now, is better than the alternative for some. Getting a read on him is tougher now. It feels like she's missing pieces. ]
What about you? What's your best case scenario for whenever we figure out what the hell's going on here? Do you go home, forget all about it? Backtrack to Arima and set up shop?

[ there's a brief pause before he answers again, like he's trying to decide how to phrase this. ]
This is a weird question--if you don't wanna answer it, thats fine
but
all of those people were
alive
before they came here, yeah?
no subject
But he didn't remember dying, either.
no subject
Thanks
I appreciate it--
Sorry for your loss, too.
Must've been kinda bitter to see them again, yeah?
no subject
In some ways, I think it was good for me. It reminded me of some things I forgot.

[ a little pause. ]
Sorry, I just
lost a couple people real close to me before I came.
Would like to seem em again, if this place can manage it.
I don't mean to pry.
no subject
Mostly good things, I think. Things I learned from him.
no subject
Lotsa death where I'm from, I guess. Ain't that big of a thing, but it'd be nice.
Did he stay long?
no subject
One jump, maybe two. Happens a lot.
