( well, they keep not winning this fucking war, and also she can hear them being fucking idiots on the crystals all the goddamn time, )

I've been here for a long time, ( after a pause. ) Eight years, maybe nearly nine. That isn't the case, for most here. Some come and go in the usual way,

others, the way that rifters do. Made of dreams, returned to them. A lot of the people I didn't trust aren't here any more.
