[She certainly looked fond of the boy in that brief image.]
And the girl? [He's not about to presume anything out loud, even if his guess is "daughter." If everything was as it should be in that image she would have no reason to be angry with it, right?]
no subject
[ Mmm. ]
no subject
[Complimenting a lady's looks is always the way to go... probably.]
It's easy to see you're focused on your family. [He should try to actually distract her from this, right? All the impossible images. So:] Tell me about your son.
no subject
[ Tell him about Toushiro, huh...?
... The twin images show two Toushiros. One of them with black hair, and one with white. Of course they do. ]
no subject
What's the difference? Other than the hair.
[It can't be as simple as that.]
no subject
... That's my son, Toushiro. That one [ The black hair ] is how he looks now, and how he looked when I adopted him. And that one [ White hair ] is how he looked back when all our hair colors changed because of Retrospec.
He's not on the app anymore.

You can't decide which you'd rather have?
[Ren has considered it a few times, what it might be like to have close friends or even family to be aware of all this. To have someone to talk with with who could understand the entire situation... or to have them remain happily ignorant.]
no subject
[ She hisses that, and then shatters both images more complete. They both explode into lights, and she turns her hard red eyes to the man before him. She...
... It's not like that. ]
Whatever makes the boy safer or happier is better.
no subject
That's what the perfect mother would say. [He tilts his head, as if examining her, though there's not much he's likely to see that he isn't already.] But no one is perfect.
no subject
In the nightmare dream space, it intensifies. For a long moment, she seems to have glinting fangs ]
But I'll not have anyone questioning me as a mother, for the record.
no subject
I'm not questioning your actions, only trying to acknowledge what I'm seeing. Why would there have been two of them if you felt no conflict about it?
no subject
no subject
[Perhaps it would be easier to live with that sense of normality restored. But easy doesn't mean right.]
no subject
[ About Retrospec, About all this? ]
no subject
[He feels she would have mentioned it if not. He shakes his head, though, as he clarifies something.]
I'm not saying what Retrospec does to us is easy. But what about you? Would you be fine with the idea of returning to that fake sense of normality?
no subject
The nightmare shifts, and suddenly there's a wall of stained glass, probably blinding in the darkness. There's a whole mural of various people that she's know, met through the app, or remembered in her dreams. There's a small tapestry there, and all of them slowly start to change, red eyes gleaming. ]
I... I merely want what is best for my boy.
[ And that's... uncertain now. ]
no subject
Hm—he's disappearing around the edges. He merely glances at this phenomenon briefly before turning his gaze back to Elda. He had to leave somehow, anyway, and it's not as if the traditional way was going to work here, was it?]
Then I hope you'll find whatever that is.
no subject
She attempts to respond to the man, but the minute she does - yes. He fades out of existence (or well, dream-existence) with the sound of shattering glass. ]
