[contrary to her - it's not like this memory is a surprise to him, having had months to handle it and the toll it's taken, but he still sucks in a harsh breath on reliving it quite so vividly. a little bit raw:]

...Yeah, it was.

[regardless of what he intended or wanted, it was.]

[bxkautx]

Was what she told him true? That it was for his own good?

[agleam]

[he nods.]

Yeah. I wouldn't have gone along with it otherwise.

[bxkautx]

At least there was a good cause and it wasn't just murder that super didn't need to happen.

[agleam]

I guess so.

[he predictably still seems uncomfortable with it, though.]

[bxkautx]

[ that's fair, she's just crazy. ]

... I take it your whole game ended on a good note? All the people who had to be killed came back and everything?

[agleam]

They did, yeah. And I know you probably won't agree, but that doesn't make it okay.

[bxkautx]

It does. [ sorry. but she does pause. ] But I also think it's okay because it was an accident.

Like... you tried to do it a nicer, faster way.

[agleam]

If someone tried to kill you in a quicker way but ended up trampling you to death with a horse, you'd consider that okay?

[bxkautx]

Uh. Talked much to the kids from Heaven? At this point if someone did it on purpose I think they'd be pretty justified.

[agleam]

[after a moment]

...If you think people are right to want to hurt you for things you've done, why did you do them?

[bxkautx]

... Got bored. Needed to do something.

[agleam]

I don't think that's true.

[bxkautx]

You can believe what you want, but it is the truth.

Not everyone's as sweet as you.

[agleam]

I don't think you're sweet, but I think in general you'd pick not hurting people over hurting them if you have a choice. You haven't killed anyone here.

[bxkautx]

... Well. It would be a hassle. I don't have any powers here to work with, so.

[agleam]

Right.

[give memory]

[bxkautx]

[ seems like maybe she had a retort of some kind but... memory time... from 3:32:37 to 3:35:03. ]

[agleam]

[hmmmmmmmmm

after a moment:]

...You were in somebody else's body?

[bxkautx]

Yeah.

Felt weird.

[agleam]

[...]

What would you getting out have meant for them?

[bxkautx]

It would have been a clean swap. A trade.

They could stay in the void and we could go home.

[agleam]

Aren't trades normally supposed to give the other person something good in return...?

[bxkautx]

A trade is just an exchange. The value of what's being traded is up to the people involved to decide.

And Olivia wanted it.

[agleam]

Why did she want it?
