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.

Hm. I can see why some people might be upset by this. But are they really that angry with you for merely broaching the topic?

[lingeringwill]

im being ripped apart left and right

i think im gonna be pretty publicly reviled from now on

[truedetective]

That's ridiculous. You're just asking a question.
Are people really that inclined to ignore possible truths?

[lingeringwill]

YES APPARENTLY

all these people calling me pathetic and shit : (

you're the only one who understands : (

[truedetective]

I suppose on some level I understand.
You are, after all, suggesting that their parents' deaths may have been intentional.
Yet as painful as it is, I don't see what good it does to ignore the possibility of the truth.
