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.

there is a pattern though

dont you think its weird how many people on here have lost parents on retrospec?

like, a ridiculous amount?

myself included, mind you

[destiny_key]

so what???
people who arent on retrospec lose parents too

[lingeringwill]

so...i think there's something to it. I'm not saying retrospec is killing anyone, but im also not saying that there's a reason behind so many of us sharing this

sora

you're a really good kid, and i like you

you don't have to keep talking to me about this if you really don't want to
sorry if it makes me look like a huge monster

[destiny_key]

listen i know your not a monster
but also this isnt the sort of thing you should go around asking people
because saying that someones dead because im on retrospec is awful
its like your telling me its my fault
because its not my fault

[lingeringwill]

sora

jeez

that's not what i'm saying at all. if someone in your life is gone, of course it isn't your fault. i'm not necessarily saying that retrospec did anything to our parents

just that it isn't a coincidence we all share this trait

sora

im really sorry that you lost someone
i know how hard it is

[It takes him a while to reply to this. He's torn between yelling at Terra that he doesn't understand at all, but that would be mean. Terra's mom is dead, too, and he knows how much it sucks having a dead parent. He wants to be angry, but he can't. All he feels is sad.]

okay



i dont think theres a connection here though
