Your presence here? You're being silly. I came here because I needed something new to do with my life.

[Just because her phone says Cyrus, doesn't necessarily mean she thinks it's him. It's been years. He's dead to her.]

[will_be_god]

Hm, of course. Your distractions. You blind yourself to the true nature of the world and thus believe that the world can be saved.

[anelegantmyth]

Wow, how poetic.

[will_be_god]

Sarcasm, is it? Again you distract yourself.

[anelegantmyth]

You really need to stop acting like you know me. You don't know me.

[will_be_god]

Then teach me something new, if you believe this so fervently.

[anelegantmyth]

Why should I? You're just being an annoying person...

[But she doesn't send the first part. Oh no. Instead, she finally bothers to look at the name of the sender on her phone, and with all the weird stuff he's been saying, piece together everything.

So instead, she sends another message.]

Switch to video. Right. Now.

[will_be_god]

[He complies, immediately switching his webcam on. That familiar glare stared back at her from the small screen]

I doubt this is what you are to teach me. If you attempt to claim that you got me to obey you, you know as well as I that it is a misrepresentation of the facts.

[In that split second, she didn't even try to hide the shock in her eyes. It was him. A little aged, but it was Cyrus. Her Cyrus. After all these years of thinking he died...no. She couldn't even handle this right now.

Without even saying a word, she shuts off her phone.]

...How odd.
