TM 003 - pretend this is a picture of recollé

I like this place. Recollé, I mean. I grew up here, I spent my whole life here. I like how busy it is, I like how the weather changes on a dime, I like the people. Recollé is my home. What I didn’t realize, this whole time, was that it’s more of a prison than a home. A cage. I grew to love it, because I was complacent. Willfully jailed. I didn’t bother looking outside––so I didn’t realize that there was nothing there. This world is too small. I can’t help but feel jealous of everyone that got to get out of here for a little bit. I’m still...stuck. I didn’t realize how much I took the idea of “seeing the world” for granted. Even so, I’m glad that I grew up here. It wasn’t a bad life to live. All in all, I think that I still prefer it to his. Even if it’s not the world that I wanted to live in, it’s a world where magic is real. I just wish...we could all be on the same page. What’s your favorite memory in Recollé? It doesn’t even have to do with the app, just...a nice memory in the city. I’m interested to know. ps. i’m on a top of a building right now, if you wanna hang out i can fly you up here. It’s a nice view.

Yeah, I'm still holding out for certain places to still exist.
Yes. No. Should I be?

[lingeringwill]

is this a "i am not my sister's keeper" thing?

i just wanna know if she's alright

[compendiem]

More like "My sister is not my keeper." That's what most people assume. Call her if you want to know.

[lingeringwill]

jeez, sorry

why don't you just answer the prompt

[compendiem]

What for? The sorry, I mean. I already answered the prompt: I liked flying over the city.

[lingeringwill]

the sorry is for touching a nerve or whatever

that's the best memory you have of the city? Being above it?

[compendiem]

Oh. I don't need it then.
Yeah. The memory of staring anew, I guess?

[lingeringwill]

so recolle to you was like, a restart, a new beginning?

[compendiem]

Like that, yeah. A new start. Waking up. Moving forward again. That sort of feeling.
Nothing special about the city, though. It's just where I ended up.

[lingeringwill]

its not the place that matters, but what it means

That's pretty cool.

[compendiem]

That's how it is for most people, isn't it? You say it feels like a prison to you. But any place could feel like that if you can never leave.

[lingeringwill]

right. It's stifling. I don't have a dearth of...worldly experience, just what I've read in books about a world of dubious existence

[compendiem]

There's nothing wrong with that. It's like getting to travel for free while lying in bed in your pajamas.
