From what I heard, by people here who are from the same world, but different times in it – they don't remember the others vanishing. So I choose to believe that we'll all be back one day, to pick off where we left.
That it's not too late for your father or for me to protect Taty.

[Perhaps he has really has some advice to give, even if it's only the reassurance of seeing humans pick themselves back up again. A lifetime of things working out, somehow.]

You're right. It's been too long, of having no one to talk to.
I'm just afraid you'll not look at me the same, after. That hearing it will hurt you, if less so than living through it did.
And some of it is not good to tell in messages.

[Not that they need to meet right now and exchange horror stories. But what influenced him most are stories he can barely bear to tell once and certainly not the kind he trusts on any kind of unknown network.]

[Miles pauses, leaving Sigrud's messages unanswered for perhaps a bit too long. It's a lot to take in—there's a gravity he understands in the words spoken, not something he can simply brush aside and shoulder without a care. He very well might hear about things he'd rather not know, but...

What good would it be for them to not overcome what's put this wall between them?]

it doesnt have to be everything
not all at once
but maybe we can talk about the stuff that made you react the way you did
i know im young but im pretty emotionally mature so

and im also kinda worried you dont really have anyone else to talk to

I never thought you too young for it.
It's just... not a nice story. None of it.

[And the pieces fit so closely together they're hard to separate, like his life is a single path he couldn't escape from. He wants to be careful, to not overwhelm Miles or himself.]

I do talk with others, when I can bear to. But you're the one needing to hear it most, I think.

Do you know of a good place, to sit in some quiet?
