...I'm back.

Was a little difficult to move back in when nobody was supposed to know I was there in the first place. But everything's in its proper place now, including me.

I didn't have a purpose in Oban. I didn't fit. Here I can make a difference. I'm going to atone for my sins and make it right.

Well, I'm glad that you were able to visit for a time, but I'm even happier that you're back where you belong.

If you want, Eva and I can drop in to visit, from time to time.

[unity_of_will]

That'd... yeah, that'd be all right. Thank you for giving me a place to stay, but I just couldn't live there anymore.

[glowy_brows]

I understand, believe me. Humans are social creatures, they need to be with others to survive. Oban is rather lonely, I know.

I know you'll find a new project to work on. And you'll do great things for mankind. Don't lose sight of your dreams, Otto.

I'm glad you're back ... Otto.

Say, you think maybe we could go out for some coffee sometime soon? I know of an all-night diner. We could catch up on things ...

[unity_of_will]

...Really?

Uh, yeah. It'll be a little strange to see you now, but. I wouldn't mind talking to you.

[shutterbug_13]

Of course! I mean, I've always admired you, and your work. That's why I chose you for the topic of my term paper.

Yeah, I know. But I was hoping that maybe we could ... start over? I want to hear about all your research and what your latest projects are.

[unity_of_will]

And you still admire me now, after everything I've done?

I have a few projects on the backburner, if you can call them that. Maybe we could...

[maraihi]

It's been awhile.

So you're going back to your own world?

[unity_of_will]

I am back in my own world.

[maraihi]

Ah.
Home sweet home?

[unity_of_will]

Something like that.

[pwns_farplane]

Welcome back, Otto.

[unity_of_will]

...Thank you, Yunalesca.

[pwns_farplane]

How are you faring?

[unity_of_will]

Better. I was cracking up in the silence of Oban. I needed more. The hum of the city, the anonymity... I've grown used to it. I need it, now.

What about you? I'd heard... I mean, it's been a while, but... your children. What happened to them?

[dragon_scholar]

I wish you luck, Otto.

If you ever need anything, please let me know.

[unity_of_will]

...Thank you, Philomel. I'll keep that in mind.
