Did anyone [else] make a wish, right before ending up here?

[There's a muted, deadened quality to this transmission - someone is trying very hard not to think about. Well. Just about anything!]

Would you rather not have?

[loopsiedaisy]

[There's a very long pause, enough that it might seem that Siffrin isn't going to respond at all.]

[But finally:] It still happened.

[It'd still be something they did. So... it wouldn't be fair of them, right?]

[outbounds]

[ the pause is long enough for him to start thinking 'oh, he shouldn't have asked that, should he,' he's overstepped again,

and then Siffrin does respond. ]

... It still happened. So you ... think you should remember.

[ right? that is different from whether they want to remember, but he isn't going to try to ask that again. ]

[loopsiedaisy]

...yeah.

[...]

Someone should.

[They are kind of still talking about the same thing but also kind of talking about something entirely different!]

[outbounds]

Should, huh. ... You know.

If you remember. That's proof it was real, right?

But I don't think not-remembering makes it not-real.

[ Like they said. It still happened, whether or not they remember. There's obviously something here, whatever that weird line between should and want and supposed to is, that he's not quite getting and that they're probably not going to explain, but. This does seem to be bothering them.

He's been accused of being too blunt or too direct at times, but he'll back off after this. ]

[There's a momentary flicker of emotion so strong it leaks into the message, something bordering on... maybe, 'what would you know?']

[Except.]

[Yeah they literally did just say that something still happened even if they didn't remember it. They didn't mean that to leak in the first place, but they rein themself back in even outside of the Grumpearl.]

[Sure would be good if Siffrin would consider examining further what the distinction between the two (or is it three now?) things they're thinking about is, rather than just recognizing they're contradicting themself! They sure aren't in a mental state to do it!]

[2/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

The proof is important.

So. Someone should. [Repeating themself.]
