[ He mimes the shape of a box with his free hand. ]
This is all the space we had to live in before, and looking around you, this is all the space we have to live in now... [ He splays his hand and gestures wildly around him, to the great void this dream is in that very softly overshadows the shack they're in, now perfectly repaired, reinforced, and then some, with light from the glowing mana pool streaming in from underneath the doorway. ]
The hope comes from one thing. You weren't allowed to think before. Of course you are afraid, you're terrified-- you're an immortal who just realized they can never die, not even for hope of what's on the other side. Thinking is loud and unbearable.
... but.
Thinking is... a great gift. You've experienced love, I saw it in the static. Now you can aim to feel things like friendship, which is a sort of love. You can have favorite foods, which is a commodity of a love. You can have favorite places that lift you up, that can be a love with the world.
I want to see what you're like when you fall in love with a world, Batter, instead of try to destroy it. Try to think up ways it needs to die. Try to see death in it when it's really just... clean and pure.
