KEEPER: //* You are dead, Gresia
KEEPER: //* You were killed in your battle with Karama
GRESIA: ♥ well shit ♥
GRESIA: ♥ sucks i guess but whatever ♥
GRESIA: ♥ so who are you ♥
GRESIA: ♥ and also like ♥
GRESIA: ♥ where are you ♥
GRESIA: ♥ where are ♡we♡ ♥
GRESIA: ♥ i can't really see anything ♥
KEEPER: //* I suppose I can answer your questions
KEEPER: //* Firstly, I am A Keeper. Yours, to be precise
KEEPER: //* I exist to keep a specific story operating smoothly
KEEPER: //* A story that you played a very specific role in
GRESIA: ♥ story, huh? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ so ♡that's♡ how my story was supposed to end? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ boring ♥
GRESIA: ♥ i barely even got to do anything important ♥
KEEPER: //* Perhaps there's a reason for that
KEEPER: //* You might be able to figure it out yourself
KEEPER: //* But I know you won't
KEEPER: //* I'll spell it out for you, but later
GRESIA: ♥ got anything better to do than being cryptic? ♥
KEEPER: //* I can answer your next question
KEEPER: //* "Where are you" is an interesting one
KEEPER: //* I am nowhere, and everywhere. It doesn't really matter
KEEPER: //* Where is the text when you read a story online?
GRESIA: ♥ uhh, on the screen? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ dumbass ♥
KEEPER: //* In a sense, but it's also on the hard drive storing the data
KEEPER: //* And in the internet running to the device
KEEPER: //* And if you zoom in, you may find it's not on the screen at all
KEEPER: //* That was merely an illusion created by tiny dots of light
KEEPER: //* The point is
KEEPER: //* It doesn't matter
KEEPER: //* The story is. That's all that matters
GRESIA: ♥ alright, whatever ♥
GRESIA: ♥ asshole ♥
KEEPER: //* And to answer your final question
KEEPER: //* Right now, you are exactly as everywhere and nowhere as I am
GRESIA: ♥ so you're god and i'm nowhere, good to know ♥
KEEPER: //* Not god exactly
KEEPER: //* Your god, maybe
KEEPER: //* But it's ok if you don't understand


//* This isn't for her anyway
//* This is for all of you
//* And for me


KEEPER: //* With introductions out of the way, do you have any final thoughts you wish to share?
GRESIA: ♥ before i answer that ♥
GRESIA: ♥ is there anything after this ♥
GRESIA: ♥ an afterlife? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ or multiple? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ a good one and a bad one maybe? ♥
KEEPER: //* No
GRESIA: ♥ cool ♥
GRESIA: ♥ i get to be honest ♥
GRESIA: ♥ well first of all i think your storytelling is kinda shit ♥
GRESIA: ♥ i what, grew up as the popular troll, got assigned to convenience store duty, fought some bitch and then ♡died♡? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ ♡how♡ is that good storytelling? ♥
GRESIA: ♥ i never even left alternia ♥
GRESIA: ♥ secondly, you're an asshole ♥
GRESIA: ♥ and i think you know it ♥
GRESIA: ♥ but i still think it should be said ♥
GRESIA: ♥ and finally... ♥


//* You can be honest with me, hun


GRESIA: ♥ ... ♥
