Reader: There's nothing for you to be sorry for? Reader: As I said, I got the ending I wished for. Reader: I wrote a more selfish story than anyone else could imagine. Reader: But for my comrades it wasn't satisfactory, so here I am again. Reader: Even if your story is over and that was enough for you, someone else can restart it if they have the will. Geto Suguru has also had to learn this.

Geto: How could an ending like that be enough for me?

Reader: I've wondered that myself many times. Reader: Though I guess I think of it differently than you do. Reader: I don't think you could possibly be satisfied by the ending you claim to want, either.

Geto: So you think you know better than me?

Reader: I've actually been responsible for the end of my world. Reader: So yeah. Reader: I don't believe you really want that.

Geto: The more you say the less I understand

Reader is typing.... Reader is typing.... Reader: I'm not sure how to explain it. Reader: My story is pretty complicated. Reader: The short version is that my universe exists because Kim Dokja dreamed it into existence. But he didn't dream of a happy world, he dreamed of an apocalypse, and a hero who faces the end of the world countless times only to never give up in the face of endless suffering. Reader is typing....

Geto: Why?

Reader: Why what?

Geto: Why dream up a hopeless story like that?

Reader: Because it isn't a hopeless story. Reader: It's only hopeless if the protagonist gives up, and he never does. Reader is typing.... Reader is typing.... Reader: I found that story at the time I needed to find it. If I had found a different one, or if I had found nothing, I'm sure many things would've been different. Reader: But that's not how it went.

Geto: 🤔🤔🤔
Geto: Didn't you just say you made the story exist in the first place?

Reader: I read it. Reader: Someone else wrote it.

Geto: A different version of you?

Reader: Haha Reader: No. Reader: Though you've reminded me that I had that theory once myself. Reader is typing... Reader: The writer is a friend of mine. Reader: She wrote that story for my sake.

Geto: Did you make her write it so you could read it, or...?

Reader: No. Reader: She chose that.

Geto: I'm not sure I'm following...
Geto: But that's fine
Geto: Sorry, I guess this got too personal

Reader is typing... Reader: It's fine. Reader: It's not like I don't bring up personal things about you all the time. Reader: I know your story, you can know whatever you want about mine. Reader: But like I said, it's complicated. Reader is typing... Reader: The point I was trying to make is I've witnessed the end of the world countless times. Reader: And I do not believe Geto Suguru would be satisfied with seeing that kind of thing happen in reality. Much less knowing it was his fault. Reader: You aren't a villain, you're just a kid trying to survive a ruined world.

Geto: I've already made my choice
Geto: And I'm fine with being the villain if it'll help others survive

Reader: You can always make a new choice. Reader: And being the villain won't help others survive.

Geto: lol
Geto: Well
Geto: That's one way to tell me I also failed at that

Reader: I keep telling you it's not a good plan?

Geto: Yeah

Reader is typing... Reader: I'm sorry.
