I know I have to live for everybody else. It might just be me, but I don't want to do that anymore. Yeah, the community punishes you if you look too hard into what makes it work, but honestly, I'd prefer being turned into a toad to just letting everyone disappear. We lost three more people in the last two days, and that's just people I know.

I'm gonna try and find out everything I can. Maybe I'm not a genius, but there's gotta be some kind of pattern for this. Or at least a way to find out how to make a miracle. Some way to get everyone back and keep more people from disappearing.

...Except Water Filter-san. She can stay gone.

Any idea what the come-back rate is? For the same one, memories and all. I ain't got no interest in just a nostalgic face.

[ifbymyhands]

Not a lot.

[material_guy]

Well, I figured, but...

[ifbymyhands]

You miss someone? I thought you just liked messing with people.

[material_guy]

You think it's easy to personalize every little screw around I do when they cycle in and out like this?

[ifbymyhands]

Well, the community posts their personal lives anyway.

[material_guy]

It's not the same as havin' your own close, personal relationship with 'em. I'm just a friendly, warm kinda personable guy like that.

[ifbymyhands]

A friend to all, huh? Hard to imagine, sorry!

[material_guy]

Friend's a little foggy a word, but you can at least tell what a nice guy I am, can'tcha?

[ifbymyhands]

For a given value of nice.

Girls who're shrewd about men's feelings get called shrews and ain't popular with men, you know.

You think I'm bad? You know I'm always joking.
