had enough

[rustyhonesty]

I... I've had enough.

[Jean's voice come across the network as very quiet and rather weak. He's back from the death again, this time remaining in liminal space.]

I was killed. Again. What sort of a person gets killed twice in the same jaunt? It's ridiculous. [There's a forced, nervous laugh.] On top of that this time it was... it was... more painful, both mentally and... becausewhydidIrunintothemjustwhy-

[The way he talks is more panicky at the end before an abrupt pause. He's quiet for quite a long time before gathering himself and continuing.]

I'll be staying in Liminal Space. I don't think I would be useful anymore even if I came back.

Well you could probably use me as a shield.

[Ha ha. Ha..... ]

It was. Naoto's overlay really looked happy for what you two did. [It must have been really important for them.]

It's impressive you can show something like that.

[leftbehindagain]

Yeah. That was... a really good jaunt. Pretty chaotic near the end, but still my favorite. [The rebellion was just... really, really good for him.]

It was extra helpful as a way to pass on information there. You might be able to do the thing now too, it usually seems to work like that.

[rustyhonesty]

Is it a world you'd like to go back to? To see how things are going?

[A good jaunt might have meant you wanted to go back, but also that the story had a good end that you don't want to go there again.]

Really? Maybe I'll try it out, sometime.

[leftbehindagain]

Oh, absolutely. Things were still kind of chaotic when we left, and I want to know if they actually pulled through or not. It helps that I'd have a built-in place to go, too.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, that definitely helps. I think... even if Samartia was a bit of a mess, I'd want to go see how my overlay is doing. He'd just joined a family, so I'm curious to know how well he adapted.
