[ you'd be surprised by how many people rebuff her. ]

You're so cute. Your light should stay lit for as long as you want it.

[fightolive]

[ Impossible. ]

Thank you. If it's possible, I'd really like that.

[florescences]

You should believe in yourself a little more.

[fightolive]

I'm not really sure what "redemption" is supposed to look like.

[florescences]

It's different for everyone, but I think, here... it mostly means, do you feel as if you've changed?

[fightolive]

[She doesn't feel like killing, but she usually doesn't want to do that anyway. (Unfortunately, she's good at it.)]

I... just feel like myself?

[florescences]

You can still be yourself even if you've changed. Let's see... what's something you think you struggle with?

[fightolive]

[Considers...

Spending other people's money?

No, that can't be right.]

Finding the right gifts?

[florescences]

No, no, personally. With yourself.

[fightolive]

With myself?

[What a broad and ill-defined category.]

[florescences]

[ yeah, it's broad and ill-defined for a reason. ]

Within yourself. Something you'd like to have more of. Reaching out to make more friends.... being kinder to yourself... That kind of thing.

[fightolive]

I would like to make more friends... but I'm grateful to have the ones I do.

[florescences]

If you want more, I think you can have more.

[fightolive]

I can count you and Yves, at least.

[florescences]

[ she smiles, happy that firefly acknowledges they're friends. ]

Have you patched things up with him?

[fightolive]

Well.... I don't think we're on bad terms. [On either end.] I'm willing to move past what happened, but it feels strange to need to forgive him for it.

[florescences]

I don't think you have to forgive him. I'd think he'd say the same, too.

[ but yves feels his guilt deeply. ]

[fightolive]

[She doesn't thing it's the kind of thing people should have to forgive. But at the same time, it was something that had to happen.

What a strange variation of heaven they're in.]

I don't want him to punish himself over this. But I don't really know how to help him either.

[florescences]

[ it may have been necessary, but emotions and the heart are what they are. it would be foolish to force those kinds of feelings. ]

It's not your responsibility. You can tell him your honest feelings, if you feel like talking to him. He made his choice, and he knows he hurt you.

[fightolive]

I would still like to talk to him.

[florescences]

[ gazes at the day on this thread ]

I think he'd accept any letter from you, Firefly. But if it's something you want to do in person, that might require a little patience.

[fightolive]

[ Stares into the abyss. T'was Monday. ]

Letters are fine. I don't want to see him die, even if it does mean he'll end up here.

[florescences]

You and I are on the same page for that. I don't want to see him on this side either.

[fightolive]

It'd be nice if he could make it to the end of the eight weeks.

[She will remain hopeful (foolishly).]

People seem very fond of him.

[florescences]

I'd like for that to happen, too. He's someone that invites affection from others, as much as he gives it.

[ isn't that why firefly confided in him before she was killed? ]
