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.

What is *wrong* with you, boy?

How does this seem even remotely okay to you?

[lingeringwill]

why isnt it okay?

its an honest question relevant to our situation

i know its grim.

im not happy to be telling everyone that my mom is dead and i still can't deal with it

[matchbreaker]

Why *is it*?

You want to draw some sort of pattern? Are you going to say next that Retrospec killed everyone's parents? That those parents were never real in the first place?

Go apologize to your mother now if either of those is anywhere near true.

my mom is underground and not listening to anything anyone has to say so I don't think thats going to happen

I just think it's suspicious that a bunch of kids with dead parents are the ones retrospec seems to like targeting the most
Whether or not they're responsible is up in the air, but it doesn't really matter, I just want to take a poll and see what the statistics look like

I figured people probably wouldn't be too jazzed about it

That's a disgraceful response, boy.

Go to her grave and try talking to her some time.
