with everything that's gone on lately, i had a question.

if given the choice, how many people would stay here and how many people would leave? i get that it's a pretty personal question and don't feel like you've gotta answer. i'm just curious considering the way the place has changed lately and the people that have been lost.

could you live your life here? or would you leave and take your chances?

I can't even believe in myself half the time.

[heliophilous]

and yet, you're trying to get me to believe in something that i'm having a hard time accepting.

[wiccant]

Because it's important not to give up.
I didn't say I was a shining example of it.

[heliophilous]

i'm not giving up.

i'm just not an optimist.

[wiccant]

Are you sure?

[heliophilous]

positive.

never have been.

[wiccant]

I don't mean about that part.

I mean about the not giving up bit. Not being an optimist is one thing, but not believing at all is another.

[heliophilous]

if i'd given up, i wouldn't even be asking the question.

no, i'm not there yet.

[wiccant]

you're for going back too, right?

[heliophilous]

yeah.

i have to. i can't stay.

[wiccant]

What's waiting for you back home?

[heliophilous]

things i have to help fix.

[heliophilous]

i hope you do too.
