SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (FRIDAY)
"What a Wonderful Story that you have. I've read it many times when I was feeling sad. You know, I wanted to keep it in my personal collection, but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible. To grant my wish, I'd have to sacrifice what it means to be a reader ... to become the story. That's The End that I'm looking for.

Re: LOVE (Brother)
If you're the one causing problems for your sibling, then you have to apologize and fix it. I'm not saying that's an easy thing to do, but, it has to be done.
Re: LOVE (Brother)
If you wish to take a quick glance and if you have ideas, I'll listen.
[If he chooses to look through the book, it isn't a story about an adventurer at all.
It's very clearly the story of the Showmaster and her life.
It showcases a young girl who once enjoyed a happy life in the gardens with her large family. It describes her being taken away to "receive blessings" and a lot of the pain she went through during this time. It showcases a brother who was unaware of what was happening, but would send her stories to keep her company. A brother who eventually met a Legend of Stories and received his own blessings. A brother who found out the truth of what was happening to his sister. Who punished those who were responsible. Who tried to rescue her but failed to do so. Who became part of the experiments. Became part of the ocean.
The girl who wanted to rescue said brother was stuck because the family who had any chance of answers were eradicated. The girl who had practically no family left and only had her brothers books to read. She wanted to wish that the Legends would come help but they too suddenly disappeared and no one even remembered who they were. Even the Storyteller Legend refused to grant her wishes.
She was stuck. She was stuck forever. Because she could not die. Her brother could not die. All she had were his books.]

Uhm. I suppose you can't edit the past, so...couldn't you just wrap up the story nicely...? It seems like they've already gone through enough troubles.

Re: LOVE (Brother)
There's no need to rewrite anything. That might just mess things up. But...well...at least part of the issue seems to be that these siblings are stuck and can't die.
I don't think that dying is a good end to a story. But maybe giving up their immortality is a suitable equivalent price? It's giving up unlimited life, which has to count for something.

Re: LOVE (Brother)
That's an interesting idea.
Re: LOVE (Brother)
But I think it's a fair resolution, isn't it? If the "Legends" are what's causing problems, then just split them off and let them go. I know I'm simplifying it by a lot, but it seems like something within the realm of possibility.
Re: LOVE (Brother)
[He coughs.]
Anyways, I think that sounds like a viable? Solution? But I'm not sure... how to go about it...
Re: LOVE (Brother)
[taps his chin]
Legends are tied to "true names", so...perhaps severing them from their true names and giving them a new name. A sibling can grant a name, since they're family.

[But the brother is writing notes on a notepad.]
A new name...
