I dunno.

[Oscar said, unconvinced.]

This is kinda weird, even for Trench. Why would Julia wait a year and a half to show herself to people, if she was going to do it? What happened to do this?

[entreats]

Yeah, that's why I think it's fake. [ .. look, that may be a little bit blunt to just say like that, but on the other hand, it's not like Ange is going to lie about this.

It's just that she knows she's a particularly sceptical person, so she also knows her opinion is skewed in that sense. Other people may consider the possibility she's really here a whole lot more than she would. ]

But it's still Trench. Maybe there could be some weird reason none of us could guess, if it somehow really turns out to be her.

[ Even if Ange doesn't believe in it. Not right now, anyway. ]

[justoscar]

[He nodded. Anything was possible in Trench, and he trusted Ange's opinions and judgement. Were it not for his circumstances, Oscar knew he would be rather skeptical, too.]

But, if it's not her, [He ventured, looking up at Ange.]

What do you think it is?

[entreats]

[ Ange breathes out - a near-huff. Mostly since she knows what she's about to say may be a little blunt, but.. on the other hand, Oscar did ask for her opinion, and she's not sure whether there's any other way to really put it. ]

I think it's nothing.

[ A momentary pause, and then she shakes her head to clarify: ]

Probably an illusion, just like a lot of the stuff the Pthumerians here tend to conjure up each month. They love reaching inside of people and confronting them with their fears, or their desires.. And I know there are some people here who'd definitely wish to see her again, or for her to be okay.

[ Ange herself is.. a little more indifferent on the matter, really.

But that doesn't mean she's stupid to what's obvious to notice. She knows there's people who care. People like Oscar. ]
