It would seem that everyone has been getting letters? I'm seeing all sorts of buzz over this - over who this Tyr person is, over whether or not it's a trap or our only option to be free. So many people are talking about staying, but I have a question.

Who is going to go?

Nagakura-san? Have you received one as well? What do you think? A chance to go home or a trap?

As much of one as I could have ever asked for.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Lucky indeed, Sasarai-san.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you are right...

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid, I'm going to be taking this route home though. Even if it's a lie - I have men to return to and a mission to complete.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

I understand. I would not hold anything against you.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Thank you... I'm really not sure what to say other than that.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

I, for one, believe you should make the most of the time you have left here.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I believe I'll be doing that.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

And I look forward to seeing you off with a smile.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That's very kind of you, Sasarai-san.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

It's the least I can do.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It's brave of you, Sasarai-san. To remain behind.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

It's hardly a a matter of bravery.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

If you say so, but I think choosing to remain behind when the chance to go home is offered is a brave thing.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Well... To be honest, my purpose here is far more meaningful than than... hmm...

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Than at home?

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Well... I didn't want to say it, but it's true.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...you didn't die in your homeworld did you?

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Oh nothing like that, no.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. So long as it isn't anything like that then.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

I simply... had a meaningless existence.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...

I don't think anyone has a meaningless existence, Sasarai-san. In some small way, we all affect our world.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

As nice as that is to say, it does not quite apply to me.

...

Okita, I am not a "person" in the traditional sense. I am, instead, a construct.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't understand. Why would a construct not be a person? You certainly seem like one to me.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

I am comprised of artificial materials, Okita.

I'm not human. I am a clone, of sorts, of another person entirely.
