Part of me is convinced the invisi-Rifts just have it in for me.

I'm afraid of disappearing.

.....Take out 'invisi-Rifts' and just replace that with 'the Rift in general'.

Shit

[smithnjones]

I'd help you with this fear if I could, but I know there's nothing that I can do.

You and I have been here a very long time. I hope that never changes. I hope you don't disappear.

[stillaboyscout]

Thank you.

I don't think we're going anywhere

At least I hope

That's not how Chicago likes to do things.

[smithnjones]

At least some things never change, right?

[There's a small pause.]

So it seems at least.

Just so you know, you may disappear often, but you're never forgotten.

[stillaboyscout]

Thank you.

That's... incredibly comforting.

...

You're an amazing person, Martha Jones.

[theacheisleft]

That would be worrying.

Especially without knowing where you'd disappear to.

[stillaboyscout]

I can't quite figure out which is worse: the periods of amnesia that come with it, or a situation in which I know and remember everything that went on, but no one else could see me.

Given how long I tend to 'disappear', I almost prefer the former.

[theacheisleft]

That's

Yeah, I think I'd prefer the amnesia too, man. That's a long time to be away, and I can't imagine what it'd be like to see everything and not be able to touch or interact with what' going on.

[stillaboyscout]

Yeah. Then again, there's also the sense of not knowing what the hell happened in the time that feels like you were asleep but in fact was upwards of three months. That doesn't feel great either.

But yeah, being that isolated and being painfully aware of it... I'll take amnesia any day.

[imwotchingyou]

It's possible you could disappear, yeah. It's happened before.

[stillaboyscout]

It's happened to a lot of people I know.

But somehow I come back every time.

Maybe I'm lucky or something.

[Or something.]

[imwotchingyou]

Maybe.
