lion-hearted
lone wolf.

far from the gardens and
deprived of all that is
familiar. there are no
angels here that you might
seek.

what can you hope to find
in a wilderness of sin
with only fire and smoke
to light your way?

we are not very different.

[liesaboutdancin]

What the hell?? How do you know about... ?

...

not... different?

What... do you mean?

[purgatory_voice]

fate has driven us through trials we
did not want to do,
and
to places
we do not want to be.
now the future is uncertain.

it is a frightening thing.

valeria.

you are as busy
as i remember
in all of life's respects,

though perhaps
with far less turmoil.

have you found the path you want?

few roads are straight and narrow.
they wind
open and shut like
a beating hearts,
like ventricles and
vessels.

eventually,
you will come to know.

Neffe?!?

[purgatory_voice]

h
allelujah.

how much
your circumstances have
changed. how cold the
home must feel,
now.

but
that must
be true
of everyone.

[covert_chord]

...It's quieter here, but I'm not alone. It isn't cold. Cooler, maybe, but...

[purgatory_voice]

one thing you will never be
is alone.
you were once,
a long time ago,
but

that is not something
you will return to.

that is what i believe.

[exchevalier]

You're--

[purgatory_voice]

charles.
carl.

it is good to see you again.

but
i am not surprised to see you,
resilient as you must be and
as you have been,
always surviving so many trials.

i am sorry for what happened.

i didn't
give you what you wished for,
in the end.

[exchevalier]

No. You didn't.

[purgatory_voice]

i am very sorry.

[neverupstaged]

Oh my. I never expected you to reappear on the stage.

[purgatory_voice]

i think
this is what
you might call
an encore.

only
the play changed
when i was gone
and i do not
know my role yet.

it is good to
feel you again,
nathan.

[neverupstaged]

Indeed, the feeling is mutual~♥
