SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (SUNDAY)(MORNING)

[showmaster]

A familiar voice can be heard above you, you're not sure if they're talking to you or not but it does feel like you're part of this conversation:

"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.

...

...

...

...

..."

Are you sure?

[...Taking the ticket, however.]

[ticketmaster]

Yes. Even if it goes against my goals or follows it completely.

...

What matters more is not the end, but the choices made until then.

[bondsofsuffering]

Because you like to see us test our fates?

[ticketmaster]

Because ... I think I would like to see you all succeed.

[bondsofsuffering]

At our own goals?

[ticketmaster]

Maybe. But I feel like success means something different to each person here.

[bondsofsuffering]

So as long as we feel we've succeeded, that's fine?

[ticketmaster]

I think so.

[Thinks about it.]

...I think so...

[bondsofsuffering]

You think so...?

[ticketmaster]

It...doesn't feel like the entire answer. If everyone was "satisfied", that would be good, but ... after all this, I don't know if that's enough.

[bondsofsuffering]

Enough for your own satisfaction? Or something else?

1/2

[ticketmaster]

...Something else.

Maybe... ah, it's silly.

...

[ticketmaster]

[She smiles, and before he knows it, he's being shoved into the subway.]

I hope you find The End whatever that will be.
