Thank you for the warm reception. However poorly I articulated it, I appreciated the offers of assistance.
I have a question, but I'm not sure if there's an answer. Regardless: what's the purpose of the graveyard? The carousel, the ticking, the deities--all of that makes sense (or as much sense as anything else), but why is there a place to bury people if no one stays dead here? Is it just a prop? It feels significant, although feelings can't be relied on.
This is a strange place--strange in its own way, stranger when I think about it. I'd call it all a dream if I wasn't convinced that I'm awake. Every time I think I'm close to making sense of something, it slips away.
That's not important. Thank you, again, for being so welcoming.

I've read all of the guides (most of them appear to be outdated) and as much as I could find about filters. It's unnecessary to use one, I suppose, since I can just talk to you, but some things are more comfortably put in writing.
First and most importantly, thank you. I don't fully understand why you trust me enough to let me into your apartment when you know about what I've done and you realize that I'm not the same person you knew. Whether I should blame kindness or poor judgment, thank you.
Second--and I don't know if I should tell either of you this, but something wholly inexplicable tells me that I can trust you--I've been having odd experiences. Do you know what it's like to try to remember a dream you've just woken up from? It's like that, and sometimes I think I'm on the verge of something... and then it gets away. Is this a normal phenomenon here?
Third, I'd like to repeat what I typed first. I haven't done anything to earn trust, kindness, or friendship--not that I remember. I hope that you're both usually more cautious.

[Wait. Maybe this isn't the kind of thing people like to talk about.]
If you did, I mean, where you're from. You just--if you regained your life you must have lost it somewhere, but I don't fully understand death in the City.

It's all right.
You're correct. I died shortly before my seventeenth birthday at home. I've haven't died again since being here.

No one should.

Some people have to.

Hm.

Sorry--I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like--it's not... there are criminal justice systems in place for a reason, which doesn't always mean that everyone--I don't know. Sorry. I shouldn't have said that, or anything else.

[She's quiet a moment before trying to manage a smile for him. It's there, but fleeting.] Please don't feel like you can't say things.

[with extra awkward] If it... if there are things you want to talk about, some time... I'm a decent listener.

So are you. [alskdjf;ajsd] Um... thank you.
no subject
So, how are you doing here? Do you have a place to stay and someone with you so you don't hear the ticking?
