Don't let their deaths be in vain. You can do that much, can't you?

[By continuing the story, growing as a witch. But,]

I know it's difficult. Trust me, I know.

[They are no longer being crushed by guilt like their past self, but that doesn't mean they've forgotten how it felt.]

I wouldn't suggest taking my approach of a complete ego death, [Loki says with a bit of a laugh,] but part of it does just take time.

[restitui]

[ Billy nods - quiet and still - of course he can do that. It hasn't felt like enough. None of it has, but he can. ]

[ You can't have an ego death when you barely had one to begin with - No. He tries to laugh anyway, ]

Given all of the Road stuff was practically to find myself as well as Tommy... Doing that would definitely make it in vain.

[meforsaken]

[They smile warmly at his attempt,]

Regardless, I'll have to steal the idea of this Road thing some time. I've just been trapping Thor in pocket dimensions with rune riddles. Sounds lazy in retrospect.

[restitui]

[ The smile is strained and then falls - ]

I think you know what I have to say to that.

[meforsaken]

I won't kill anyone, promise!

[restitui]

[meforsaken]

Fiiiine, I'll just lead a DND campaign instead.

[restitui]

[ yeah don't take his potential player plot from him loki!!! i'm kidding ]

A DND campaign could be fun.

[meforsaken]

I will consider inviting you then. No promises.

[restitui]

You don't have to if it needs consideration.

[meforsaken]

[They roll their eyes,] I'm joking, Billy Kaplan. I've had enough of this sincerity and such.

[restitui]

[ jokingly: ]

Hey, no one said you had to.

[meforsaken]

In the future I shall tell only lies then!

[They give a little pout and open up a portal, gathering up all their goodies to take along with them. Before they leave, they do offer a quick,]

... thank you.

[and then they're gone.]
