Oh well that's probably good

With who?
And how?

[livingdeadgirl]

I asked him to do something he didn't want to
aka talk about our past lives
and I got mad cause I'm pretty sure he knows practically everything by now
but he refuses to tell me anything
and then he said he wished he never met me
and I said I wished he was dead
so tldr we're not friends anymore
or we never were

[she's aware she is sort of misrepresenting what both of them said but uh. she doesn't want to reread the conversation for pinpoint accuracy right now.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Huh.
I haven't seen enough memories to really judge but I guess if they were bad people wouldn't want to remember.
Pushing probably didn't help

But he probably doesn't ACTUALLy hate you

[livingdeadgirl]

I know it didn't but what was I supposed to do??
sit on my thumbs talking about nothing forever?
because I mean he is an expert in talking about nothing
it's practically all he ever does

[ami. ami calm down. your teenageness is getting out of hand.]

maybe he doesn't but that just makes it worse
like maybe he knows what a terrible person Aradia was
and he thinks "maybe if I don't tell Ami about all that,
she won't turn into such a terrible person!"
but he was wrong, it was inevitable
I was terrible all along

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yup
You are just the absolute worst.

Or maybe
He doesn't want to think about having two lives
And trying to make sense of them both
And he snapped at you when you pushed him
Because he didn't want to be pushed?

[livingdeadgirl]

no you know what
it was a lose lose situation
he was never going to tell me anything
my pushing him or not pushing him didn't matter at all
your past self doesn't stop existing just because you refuse to acknowledge them
you don't stop having visions and memories by refusing to think about them
it's been months Luna
he was never going to randomly get over it and open up
least of all to some annoying little girl

[chaoticwhimsy]

In that case
Why did you try and talk to him about it at all?

[livingdeadgirl]

because I'm an idiot
obviously

[chaoticwhimsy]

BZZZT Wrong answer!
Try again.

[livingdeadgirl]

[what you want a REAL answer? come on.]

because
because I liked him
and I wanted to be friends with him
even though upon closer examination
we have nothing in common in our present lives
and our past lives didn't have much more than that

[chaoticwhimsy]

So are the lives the only thing you have in common?
Then why did you want to be friends?

[livingdeadgirl]

I thought our past selves were friends
or became friends I don't know
if we were I could see why
I mean he's funny and smart and charming and

[he looks really good in tight pants.]

attractive

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Boys are dumb, Ami.]

So.
A cute boy from your past life is here
And you thought forcing him to talk about said past life would be a good way to get to know him.

You could've just flirted.
That pretty much always works.

[livingdeadgirl]

[dskl;afjskdl]

it's not like that!
I can't just
he's in *college* Luna
and I'm not allowed to date until I'm 16 anyway
I just wanted to be friends!
that's all!!

[that is not all.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Uh huh
Kinda young for college boys though.

Hm.

So give him a couple days to cool off then talk to him like nothing happened
Bet you he acts like everything's normal.

[livingdeadgirl]

...
ok on the off chance that he would actually react that way
and not immediately call bs on the whole thing
what part of the problem does that plan actually solve

[chaoticwhimsy]

The part where you think he hates you.

[livingdeadgirl]

so it only works if he actually doesn't
yeah ok

[pause. "Ami is typing..."]

hey Luna
what does friendship mean to you?

[chaoticwhimsy]

That's
Kind of a vague question?
Friendship is having friends

[She's being obtuse on purpose, that's a hard question!]

[livingdeadgirl]

thank you dictionary dot com
what are friends then?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I'm more of a Webster fan.

[There's a long delay.]

A friend is someone who has your back.
And is always there for you.
No matter what.

[livingdeadgirl]

[a moment as she unpacks that.]

so it's a trust thing essentially?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well not JUST trust but I mean
That would be a really big part of it!

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah makes sense
and some other things it involve are like
the people involved liking each other
and at least to some extent knowing each other
right?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah tht is kind of required!
I mean
I suppose you could just decide you're friends with strangers.
But

It would be pretty lonely.

[And not something she did when she was little not at all nope nope.]
