Chapter 2:

"hold up... Back up... So you're telling me ... I gotta deal with all of you for real now, not just in my brain when i occasionally act like im talking to y'all? Making up random interactions to fill my boredom?..."

Several veins seemed to form on her head as she heard his response to her explaining their situation. Rosaria beathed an audible breath before a sound resounded in the room with everyone but Kari nodding their head in agreement.

"Wha--" Rosaria didnt even begin to fathom his response before she brutally interrupted him.

"That's what you take outta this?! That?! Not that you have woken up with characters you made, having conversations talking to you or who knows what forced us into this place of who knows what, not the 2 moons we're jus causually ignoring for some reason... "

She was about to continue her rant before she abruptly stopped and thought about a few things inwardly just as the atmosphere of the room got a little dark, Kari responded with words he'd practiced for years and his answer would never change if someone else asked him this question.

"Well for 1. I'm here even though id prefer to be dead, you know this, heck im sure all of you know exactly, and i do mean EXACTLY how much I previously just wished for death to waltz right upto me."

As he said this he emphasized the second sentence and the very end of it befote walking over to where Rosa stood, He pattex Roasaria's head lazily, yawning a bit before he continued not leaving room for his other children as he had peeceived them to interrupt him.

"2. Now I'm stuck with you, so cant wantonly waltz in front of a idiot pointing a gun at me now that, not that i had the balls to do it before but my point is, its not just my life but characters ive written, i may not wish to live but that doesnt mean you don't."

He continued speaking as if he was on the train tracks with breaks that would onlyhalt at the final stop, though they all looked at him and felt a pang in their hearts.

"This situation begs a question if you guys are me hallucinating or not but seeing as i actually felt you punching me i know cause the pain is definitely still lingering, that aside the main reason i aint worried about it. Guys let me ask y'all a question."

As he said that all of them perked up in regards to him speaking. They looked at him wondering what he'd aay next.

"Do you reallythink id be upset about leaving my world? Like seriosuly with how much my family was basically a den of criminals with no lingerkng sense of loyalty, just a bunch of drama queens with too much power, and those of us in the family who did get rich didn't care about those of us not around them.

Let alone, the people who raised me blatantly leaving me out to dry and expecting me to work things out when they leave me in a legal loophole and no real way to fix the problem. a proverbial legal catch 22, if you will. Do you really think I'd complain about being in a world without them, heck honestly... I think we could live pretty happily. Without those bastards."
