He hates how much that makes him stop and think. It's true for him, but...]
I was just annoyed at how everyone was so eager to dogpile on Lily. Like, I get it, we don't have evidence. But how the hell are we supposed to give you that? We're still trying to figure everything out, the same as you all. But there's just some things that I KNOW Lily wouldn't do bc he'd be straight-up betraying us if he did.
But...yeah, I really do wanna go back to IRL after this is all over. If things go back to normal, I'd maybe come back and enjoy the game for once, but... Weirdly enough, playing this game has made me appreciate reality more than I had in years.
I worry about Barrett, though. I keep thinking about HIS IRL situation and I just...
[He doesn't actually finish that train of thought, but Mithrun knows the situation. He saw how bad things were.
( He sort of expected these answers, but he still takes the time to digest them.
Normally, he would ask why Levi is so sure Lily couldn't lie to them as easily as CC Corp, but he doesn't. )
I don't know about you, but... If Booker joined, Barrett wouldn't have anything to miss in here. His leg's fine. He feels accomplished protecting people as Lord Partizan. And he's keeping Lily's memory alive through this Lily. Weren't you the one who said that the things here felt real enough to you?
I don't have a way to contact Lily. But will you forward a message to him for me?
[Levi reads this over and over, anxiety swelling up within him. The same sort of anxiety that he felt back when he first met Lily and learned that Barrett named him after their sister.]
Lily's NOT Lilith, though. He knows that! And he's got a whole family back IRL that cares about him! His leg's gonna get better! And I was gonna ask him if we could swim together for PT as soon as he was well enough
[He hadn't meant to type out that last sentence, but he was definitely thinking it. It ends up getting left in anyway.
As for the message...well, that's left ignored for the moment, swept up in the emotional storm.]
( smh levi for being avoidably emotional :/ signed, the king of emotional restraint and not jumping across tables to go at people like he might just be doing in the meeting in a minute, )
I don't think he remembers most of his family. I don't know how extensive it is. He had a drawing he did of you all (and two family friends?) and he was confused when I said it was an illustration of his family. He just mentioned being in a house with him, Booker, and your dad.
I think his leg will get better. I don't think there's nothing for him out there. But I think he should have the option to stay, if that ends up more appealing to him one day.
don't turn this around on me i DID tell you what i know
you try reading that your brother has suddenly forgotten about his family and wants to stay in a virtual world forever and try to take it like a normal fucking person
i've had some fuzzy memory issues too but not like THIS

That's different than my task.

Are you going to return to reality when it's all done with?
no subject
And yeah, that's the plan once I know everyone's safe. I wanna get the hell out of this game with Barrett and Kara.

Who else has been talking to Lily regularly? You, 0koto, Barrett? Who else?

Or maybe it's just Levi himself who is falling apart.]

He doesn't want to stay.

It's not like you couldn't visit him. It's not that different than him moving away.
