blue and green no longer exist outside of a few select cases. somehow, retrospec had the power to do that, along with everything else what don't they have the power to do? i wonder what else they've done that we may have just not noticed... the other day, someone got me thinking about patterns, and i started to realize something... let me conduct a bit of a morbid social experiment, okay? but in the interest of fairness, i'll go first when i was little my mother died. it was fast and sudden--a case of severe pneumonia. she was taken so fast. thief in the night, yeah? the first thing i can remember in my entire life is the look in my dad's eyes as he tried explaining it to me. i was too young to understand at the time...but even as i got older, i still didnt. how can she get that sick, out of nowhere? and just die. i know there's tons of rational reasons for it, but it doesn't sit well, it never has. i realize that this sounds like im refusing to accept the truth but...i can't help wondering. the pneumonia was like a switch. she just died. the universe didn't find her fit to exist anymore or maybe something else i think its obvious what im getting at so, show of hands, everyone. who has one or more dead parents? and if you know i already know the answer to that question...i'm sorry for bringing this back up. really.

I doubt anyone thinks you did it on purpose. Losing someone close to you is hard no matter what, you were trying to reach out. Maybe not in the best way but you're allowed to make mistakes.

Next time try asking, like... "What are your parents like?" or "Have you suffered the loss of anyone close to you? How did you deal with that?" I guess try to think about how you'd ask a teacher or something, since there's police officers and professors on here.

[ Kaz is here to Dad you, son. Plus both his parents are alive, he would've felt awkward pointing that out. ]

No problem. And if it's any consolation, compared to how many people live in the city, there aren't really that many people who have Retrospec so it's not the whole town :-) They'll forget about it eventually.
