not trampled...

A way out for you means you'd go back to your life as you left it. What does a way out for me look like?

[As she left it, ha. Not his problem, either.]

Back to life, I meant.

I wouldn’t condemn you [to oblivion, she thinks, or whatever else may follow] if you didn’t want that.

witnessing a non-suicidal pan character in real time is so...

[. . .]

Back to life? Surely, that's not possible.

Impossible as writing through a convergence with a cell phone.

It is a hypothetical without lead. [read: Don’t get your hopes up.] But I will pursue it if one arises.

For me? I'm flattered by your determination.

[. . .]

I didn't want to die.

[Flattery? Nothing else is an option. (Would anyone else bother? Caitlyn keeps loose strings tied.)]

I’d say most don’t. Especially by such means as a sacrificial trampling.

Funny. [Was she even joking?]

Fine. So, we know what we're looking for. We just have to find it.

[Somehow "I will pursue it if one arises" has become a quest of mutual interest. Funny how that works.]

[The word “funny” has never looked less funny.]

Right. Where are you? Formless space again?

How did you know?

I suppose, when we finish this conversation, I'll simply...

You know. Until next time.

Similar position. [The dreamlike space. The apparent nonexistence between last encounter and now. Death, less certain.]

I regret to inform you that prolonging conversation has never been my talent. However, if this pattern holds, it’ll seem as though no time at all passes between our end here and the next occurrence.

I'm not asking you to stay.

You're right. We just have to blink.
