[longlegs]

i'm just done being scared

[ narrator: she was in fact very scared ]

[medals]

no one really stays dead here. there's that at least.

[longlegs]

i know
i got iggy's stone from the lake, the first time he died
saber's too

[medals]

you know i used to know a different iggy.
where i was before.

we were friends. we shared a boyfriend for a while. he called us sisterwives.

[longlegs]

the same place finch was?

[ Was she dating Finch..... ]

[medals]

yeah
peony, eddie and danny too.

there was a couple more of us here but they're gone now.

[longlegs]

finch told me i was there for a while, too
my hair was still short

[medals]

oh
whoa

it must been after i left?

[longlegs]

probably, yeah

i wonder if those worlds are connected?
iggy was there but he doesn't remember, neither do i
but you and the others do, right?

something must have happened when he traveled here

do you know how you ended up in the other place?

[medals]

i was somewhere else before that. nicer.

but i was leaving to go live with my boyfriend on his world. i got separated from him on the way.

sometimes i think uh
maybe i died?

[longlegs]

why is that?

[medals]

my partners
well, most of them back there. they died before they ended up there.

i guess sometimes i wonder if maybe i did too?

[longlegs]

[ Oh.

So many people can't wait to go back home, but there are some that would go back to nothingness. She hadn't thought about that. ]

do you think there's a way to find out?
unlocking memories or something

[medals]

idk if i want to remember.
it'd mean my boyfriend killed me lol

[longlegs]

what do you mean?

[medals]

doesn't really matter i guess
sorry

[longlegs]

are you sure?

[medals]

i don't think i'll ever see him again
and if i do
i think he would kill me if he didn't before

[longlegs]

[ girl do we need to protect you from ever man that's ever lived ]

if he comes here, will you tell me?

[medals]

that's sweet
i can resurrect myself now though dw

[longlegs]

i know plenty of people who have been brought back or who can just heal themselves back home
pretty sure they all agree that the dying part is still miserable

[medals]

my first death was the worst, i think. it was really lonely.

every one after hasn't been like that.

[longlegs]

can i tell you why i'm afraid of dying?

[medals]

course you can

[longlegs]

our boss back home, raíz
reality and everything in it is like her playground
she's not really a goddess in any traditional sense
it's like we're all in an ant farm that she visits every now and then
one of her many rules is that no one is allowed to kill those of us in the blood pact

if someone kills me, jem
doesn't matter who or what they are
there's going to be a punishment for them when she shows up
she'll just make our killer disappear
no kill, no torture, no putting them away somewhere
they just cease to exist, forever, no body left behind

i'm really scared this place is going to lead someone i love to kill me
and then i'll never be able to see them again
