retrospec | (no subject)

It's been brought to my attention (again) that some of you are looking for compensation for the work you're doing. I'm open to that. So tell me, Retrospecters, what is it that you're looking for? Money? Answers? None of the above? I'm all ears.

The scouting project seems to be working out okay. I don't know if any of you have found a place that's really good to relocate or recover but maybe we should talk about that, too.

…finally, bit of a morality question for you.

What's the priority here, you think? Working on chasing Vanderweele down this rabbit hole of a wild goose chase (wow that is too many animal analogies), or memory recovery of the company itself? Both of them are about as convoluted as you think, but not impossible.

Wait, not finally. One more thing since someone brought it up: in case you haven't noticed yet, you might want to pay attention to the things you've managed to bring back because, and I hate to make it sounds real drastic, but the fate of the world kinda depends on it? Just a little. Welcome to your destiny, everybody.

Anyway discuss. I'm back in the office, so drop by if you need something.

Do not misunderstand me: I’m not out to try to save his life. I’m confident any justice system would come to the same conclusion, especially when shown how imprisonment has failed to stop the man already.

I just dont think he’s worth any one of us adding the burden of ‘killer’ onto our shoulders. Taking even a deserved life is not a small thing.

I appreciate it, but I don't really have the luxury of that choice anymore. Becoming A2 means inheriting her burdens. And even if I never brought the blade down on someone's neck myself, she has more than enough fucking burdens for me to feel it.

What's so important, in her world, that means she has to still exist?

I'm sure if you asked her, she would love to finally die.

But you asked me, and I'm not super in love with your tone right now, Togusa.

Then I said it wrong, and I apologize. I'm not suggesting she shouldn't exist.

But, something I learned about the man I'm remembering means that he absolutely NEEDS to exist. Any answer that means he gets wiped out of reality is no longer an option for me, and I believe that's true for you, too.

So I was wondering what fact it was that made you think that way.

[an interesting question. and one that... she's debating giving the full, honest answer to.]

It's not anything about her world or the things that I'm remembering about her. It's that I can't afford to go back to a life that A2 isn't a part of.

[that's probably the best way of putting it without outright saying it.]
