I-Is wanting to stay here r-really that bad of an i-idea? I-I mean... S-Sometimes things here are b-better than they a-are back home. S-Some people might not e-even have a home w-waiting for them or they could even be... Y-You know. Dead. I-If that ever happened to me, I think I'd r-rather be stuck in a place where I-I could start over w-with a

Th're 's afterl'fe. [Which is either better or not much of a change, if you ask him.]

[bawlingforsoup]

W-What if that afterlife is r-really awful?

[sveariket]

Are y' Christian? [It's not said like an insult, but with a certain derisive touch to it. At least the twelve bodyguards are cool?]

[bawlingforsoup]

A-Ah... Y-Yeah. I-I think so. Mister Russia--He's... Um...

[sanctusdei]

Don't be sorry. We have as much right to want to stay here as those who want to leave do.

[bawlingforsoup]

B-But if what that m-man said is t-true...

[Even if he does doubt it. He has his own feelings that the Postman was just jerking the town's chains.]

[sanctusdei]

I don't trust any one of these assholes pulling the strings around here. Esepcially one who sends out fucked-up Christmas gifts, or regularly exchanges people's internal organs for this stuff from home.

[bawlingforsoup]

T-They keep hurting my family, t-too. T-They droned someone important to my f-father.

[She doesn't regret her vote, doesn't apologise, and doesn't trust this town at all. But she does stand in the doorway and watch and listen to the smaller nation's words.]

[bawlingforsoup]

[He'll remain blissfully unaware of Roshian's presence, running his fingers over one of the false pictures of the family.]

I-I can't forget t-them. They're... T-They're important to me.

[silno_pyanstvo]

[Oh.

She smiles then, because he would rather stay here, stay with her than go back home. And her history is no different than the history he knows.]

[bawlingforsoup]

I-It wasn't so bad being h-human for awhile... T-This town--I-I mean, it's done awful t-things but it's made things nice. I-I'm still meeting all sorts of p-people.

[And giving him an actual family--One that he knew would just be a few doors away and equally protective. He can't help the small grin tugging at his lips as he recalls the day he and Luke tried to run away only to get caught by Giriko. The time Roshian had defended him from Russia. Everything.]

[motheringnation]

...Latvia?

But what about your people?

[bawlingforsoup]

I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I-I... [She strikes a very good point there.]

[motheringnation]

Shhhh...It's alright.

But Latvia. Your people need you. What will happen to them if you don't come home?

[bawlingforsoup]

...I-I don't know.

[doublerinbow]

[ Yo.

Robot girl behind you. ]

[bawlingforsoup]

[HOLY CRAP PEOPLE SNEAKING UP BEHIND HIM--]

Eh?!?
