A wish.

[livingimpaired]

[ The Holy Grail. He does not recall exactly what it is, but from what he gathers from the brief memory with the "King of Heroes," it is something to wish upon. And Kei's other self would allow that man to "wish for death." What does that mean? No, he understands it simply, but there is more said and unsaid than he can unravel. ]

With all this business going on, some frivolousness ponderings might be an enjoyable distraction.

Well, then. If you could wish for anything, what would it be? [ A pause. Kei thinks of sending it like that yet he feels that may be too telling. Too telling of what? He's uncertain, but adds more to cover up his uncertainty. ] Though, with Valentine's Day is coming, most are thinking of just wishing for someone to spend that day with, hm? :)

I do "feel" you.

Indeed, sometimes it is how we grow up that makes this sort of imaginings easier or harder. But let's say that you could get whatever you wished for. What is it that you would want?

[me_matey]

tbh i have no idea. even my other self was motivated by just keepin the good times rollin ya know? didnt want for much more than what she already had. and i got it pretty good too.

[livingimpaired]

Well, that's all right.
And that actually makes you quite lucky, May.
Most people are not as happy as that, and most people are not simply happy with looking forward to what the future may bring.

well i guess when u both come from shitty situations, but ur current lives aint half bad, there aint nowhere to go but up right?

i'm not a street kid anymore. still a hustla, but it aint because i hate it and just half to do it. and she loves bein a pirate. so it all kinda works.

i GUESS id wish for this retrospec shit to stop, but i'm kinda curious to see where its all goin too

[livingimpaired]

They aren't half-bad, you aren't wrong.
I think it is good to remember that, too.
The lives we were living before aren't terrible and through the lives that we had, we chose the path we were on before these new experiences came to us.

The ending may be someone that is both more and less ourselves, but we'll still be ourselves. Consider it more choices on the road to a better life.

Yes. Readily.

I doubt that, too.

But I'll relent and pretend that you mean it.
