Yeah, it's pretty common.

[agleam]

Like one in a hundred or more rare?

[bxkautx]

I don't really have statistics on it. And that's not how the statistic would work. It would be more about like... a certain number of deaths per year, probably, because people drive around every day.

[agleam]

Makes sense, I guess.

[though it'd be nice to think the future meant things didn't go wrong as much.]

[bxkautx]

[ just responds to thoughts like a rudeass. ]

The future is both good and bad.

[agleam]

Yeah? What do you like most about it?

[bxkautx]

Uhh. Not dying of the common cold I guess.

[agleam]

[nope nope nope nope nope nope]

Ha. Fair enough.

[bxkautx]

And I do like roadtrips in the car.

[agleam]

Did you travel a lot, before - everything?

[bxkautx]

No, not really. A little, I guess, but not that much. I wanted to get out of my hometown for a while, but kind of... changed my mind?

[agleam]

Do you remember why you changed your mind?

[bxkautx]

I just stopped hating being home so much.

[agleam]

... Sorry you hated it at all. That sounds rough.

[bxkautx]

... It's fine. It was just like—when something bad happens but nothing changes and no one handles it right, so you just want to leave.

[agleam]

It's okay if you don't want to answer, but... What was the bad thing?

[bxkautx]

My brother died.

[agleam]

[a beat of surprise, then - how terrible. i can't even imagine.]

Oh - I'm so sorry. Truly.

[bxkautx]

It was a long time ago.

[agleam]

Yeah.

[but sometimes things linger.]

[bxkautx]

... Not as long as you'd hope. [ stop responding to thoughts. ]

[agleam]

Why would I hope that?

[bxkautx]

Wouldn't you want to hold on forever?

[agleam]

Depends on what part I'm holding onto, I guess.

[bxkautx]

The pain.
