[someone is calling his name in a sing-song voice. APPARENTLY MAGILOU IS LOOKING FOR HIM, WHEREVER HE MAY BE]

"Three words; dramatise."

[...]

Rearrange the letters and you get "it's a dream".

[Lief used a contraction, thanks guys.]

[spinatalltale]

[. . . she suddenly grows a bit distant, her demeanor cutting off]

Hm.

I suppose the people who theorized something similar weren't far off, then.

[reidentify]

[He lets out a breath.]

Indeed. [...] Are you all right?

[spinatalltale]

[her smile turns a bit crooked, a bit sharp]

Naturally. Why wouldn't I be? After all, I have experience with this sort of thing.

[btw she told him her backstory in that one backstory pc so uh. he knows exactly how deep that experience goes]

[reidentify]

[...

He reaches to touch her arm.]

Regardless of what this is, we will break it. We will return to reality—our realities.

[spinatalltale]

[her expression turns wry]

Maybe for you. But I, for one, have no idea what my reality will be when I return.

[THANKS LAPHICET]

[reidentify]

[...]

I refuse to believe that is where your future ends. [... Ha. He's reminded of how stubborn Jacopo was to believe that Lief would live.] Even should your world be altered... if it were possible, would you return to someone else's?

[spinatalltale]

[she links her hands behind her back, tilts her head up to stare at the sky. well. . . what they perceive as the sky. she isn't so sure anymore]

I suppose I've gotten an offer or two. [said suuuuper lightly] Akira's kind of a stupidly sentimental do-gooder, after all.

I don't know if I'll take it.

[reidentify]

... May I ask what is stopping you?

[Not that he can't understand, when he declined Raven's offer.]

[spinatalltale]

[. . .]

I'm a fickle witch, you know? I change my mind all the time! Commitment isn't a word in my dictionary, and I quite like it that way.

It almost seems unfair to take advantage of an offer like his when I might not be able to stick around.

[reidentify]

... He just wants you to be happy, I imagine. With or without him.

[spinatalltale]

Ugh. Yeah.

[. . .]

That's what he said. Or at least, heavily implied.

[Akira is way too good for her and she knows it]

It's weird having someone so invested in my happiness.

[reidentify]

You are not as unlikable as you think yourself to be.

[spinatalltale]

But I am selfish.

[she knows herself]

. . . still.

Being around him wouldn't be so bad, either. I suppose. He'd annoy me less than most.

[reidentify]

You do already seem to spend quite a bit of time around him. I suppose you have gotten used to it.

[spinatalltale]

Sigh. It's like growing used to a splinter in your thumb.

[MAGILOU. . .]

Actually, there is one thing I wanted to do, if this entire farce being a dream doesn't disallow for it.

What do you think it'd be like to travel across universes?
