[It comes on the network like an intrusive thought -- because it is. Because Shinjiro can't sleep, even with all the talk of distracting activities like movies and pumpkin carving and costume parties. (Where do you even get costumes on a spaceship, anyway?)

Because he can't stop thinking about what Olexa said in that building, at the end. Would you die trying to get that stone back? Cheri's motivations were selfish, but then, aren't theirs too? So-Yeon's hadn't been, and while she'd surrendered the orb, what if she hadn't? What about the next mission?]

do you think the orb is worth killing people for

ain't my place to be judgin what anyone else does
guess i'm just wondering how people're thinkin about this
the other lady told her it ain't worth dyin for
what about killin for

[chronosynthesis]

It's different for everyone, what's worth dying or killing for. Power, love, survival.

But we aren't really here for just the orbs themselves, are we? [They're here for what it can change for them, and that can be anything.] Your question is too simple to really understand what anyone will or will not do. Or what we can agree to do together. Everyone, even the people we find already using the orb, has something else at stake.

[petsthedog]

obviously that's what i mean
the orbs only mean as much as the regrets we wanna fix with em

[chronosynthesis]

Well, since you're asking everyone else, what about you?

How far would you be willing to go for your regret? Is that something you know?

[petsthedog]

how far i'd go personally, maybe
how far i'd look the other way, i'm not as sure
