Anthony Carter So you're doing the whole avenging angel cliche Anthony Carter Well everybody wants to be an hero at least once Anthony Carter What happens if you don't like the answer? Like say you're Neo and this is the Matrix
[...Yes he's going there shut up. THE NINETIES WERE ONLY NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO.]
Anthony Carter Sure Anthony Carter If you're the protagonist Anthony Carter But what about all the side characters, background characters, scenery citizens you assume as being there, but never really meet Anthony Carter You might be destroying a lot of lives just because you don't agree with what's "real" Anthony Carter Sort of an ethical conundrum Anthony Carter I think this is the part where I say something cryptic like "I can hardly wait to see how you young people change this world", but Anthony Carter I kind of have a life Anthony Carter Also I heard Retrospec's offices locked itself down like Fort Knox was having a going out of business sale
[ There's a pause before Yu replies, of a couple minutes at least. Tony, of course, won't know it, but Yu just ends up staring at his phone, frowning, hearing the word leader in his mind over and over. ]
Yu Narukami It's not about what's best for me. Yu Narukami It's about what's best for everyone. Yu Narukami If they're imprisoning us in some false reality, the only right thing to do is fight back. Yu Narukami Still... Yu Narukami I know people here enjoy their lives. Yu Narukami I do. Yu Narukami Whatever happens, it won't be easy on anyone. Yu Narukami But I still want to know the truth. We deserve to know what they're doing to us. Yu Narukami I've heard it's almost impossible to get in there now. Jim and Janet don't respond to questions, either.
Anthony Carter Jim and Janet have very busy schedules messing with us Anthony Carter It's a 24/7 kind of job, just have to give them some slack they can't perform above and beyond *everywhere* Anthony Carter I'm kidding, they're horrible excuses for people Anthony Carter Here's to hoping the truth, whenever one of us discovers it, doesn't break either you or me Anthony Carter Happy thoughts
Yu Narukami Ah, of course. How cruel of me. I should remember to have compassion for the Retrospec employees that regularly toy with us. Yu Narukami I'm sure it's quite a challenge, being everywhere at once and disrupting our lives at every turn. Yu Narukami Happy thoughts... well, that's a positive way to go about it, at least.
