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?

You don't have to try to be him.

This was about having him inspire you.

[heliophilous]

easier said than done.

but i'll do my best.

[strove]

Something tells me that you're not used to being the one inspired.

[heliophilous]

no.
i'm used to being the one to keep everyone together.

[strove]

Yeah, I had a feeling.

Sometimes you just need to get outside of your own head and what you feel you owe your people.

That doesn't mean stop, but ... remembering that you can have some good at the end of the rope.

[heliophilous]

it's good advice.
it's just advice that i'm probably not great at following.
but i can try.

[strove]

Good.

I, well. I heard you're struggling for a place to stay. That isn't a closet. The network can be used for that, too.

[heliophilous]

oh god, you heard about the closet?
thanks, jyn.

[strove]

She said it so flippantly, too.

You can do better than a closet.

[heliophilous]

i'm not surprised.

but don't worry, i've found an apartment so i don't really sleep in that closet anymore.

[strove]

That's a relief.

Unless you meant to emphasize "that" closet, indicating that you've just replaced it with another.

[heliophilous]

no, i live in an apartment now.
with roommates and everything.
there are closets but i don't sleep in them.

[strove]

Good.

I mean that.

One of the bonuses of being here is that we don't have to sleep in closets or closet-like things anymore.

[heliophilous]

the closet wasn't bad, though.

and it worked for what i needed it for.

but yeah, i agree.

[strove]

It is nicer than most closets.

[heliophilous]

i recommend it if you ever need to get away for awhile.

[strove]

I'll keep that in mind.
