Time moving forward, need something tangible. I'm moving forward; are you tangible?
Gentiana Illyria Perception is a tricky thing.
Gentiana Illyria It changes from person to person, forever evolving into something vast and new--
Gentiana Illyria Maybe in my eyes, you aren't tangible but does that change your perception of yourself? It's a complicated thought.

Hitori Togusa Can you ever truly stand alone, or do you only exist in the presence of others? The dichotomy of the Information Age.
Gentiana Illyria There's two forms of existence, I believe. One that we comprehend as 'existing' as in being 'alive' and the other being through circumstance.
Gentiana Illyria Everything in the world exists or once existed but does it exist in the presence of others? Maybe not.

Chloe Bouchard It does not.
Chloe Bouchard I see myself as I see myself, and you are the only judge of yourself.
Chloe Bouchard And, at best, we accept each other's perceptions if they agree.
Chloe Bouchard I suppose that is the question of the last week, yes?

Hitori Togusa There's the internal self, the state of mental being that we try to communicate to the world, with varying degrees of accuracy.
Hitori Togusa Then there's the external self, how we interact with each other, and that's the one that everyone else can tell us exists.
Hitori Togusa So how do you rectify the internal with the external?

[Ardyn is just as able to wax philosophical with the best of them. In fact, the subject of time — and in tandem, “tangibility” — always tends to spark something in him. Not necessarily distress, but more like a tinge of restlessness in an otherwise very patient man. As for why, he really couldn’t say.
But is he inclined to add to these discussions today? No, of course not. Instead, she gets a:]
Ardyn Izunia I don’t know about you, but I feel very tangible today.
[In fact, his arm and shoulder aches from a chocobo ride gone awry, but… well, let’s not talk about that.]

Gentiana Illyria Through communication, I believe.
Gentiana Illyria Often do we, as humans, communicate with others but never with ourselves. In order to know thyself, you have to communicate with yourself.
Gentiana Illyria Why else do we search for a means to tap into the depths of our souls through prayer and religion?

Ardyn Izunia Let's just say there are days when one is more aware of this awful mortal coil than others.
Ardyn Izunia Not quite that extreme.
Ardyn Izunia I hope I don’t give the impression of a man searching for a quick expiration, after all.

Ardyn Izunia Right through the heart, Gentiana.
Ardyn Izunia I'm perfectly adept at having a proper conversation with any number of people.

Hitori Togusa I, personally, would agree with you. Communication with the self is more important, and that's the personal meaning that I would take out of philosophy, meditation, religion.
Hitori Togusa But it's hard to ignore that there are a great many people who look for external truths through those same methods. To use it as a reflection of the universe, without looking at the reflection of the self, as well.
Hitori Togusa Which is sad, really.

Katsuki Bakugou You sound like you're on drugs.
