Strong sunglasses. Is this something that can be practiced?

Sophie has a bigger heart than I think she'd like pointed out. She's been asking Gustave for advice. Which I'm not supposed to be telling you, but I think it's... proof she cares, yeah?

Is that something that can be made?

Not like that. More like how to have a good relationship, I would say. Gustave and I have one because he doesn't treat me like a child.

It's a good thing if she follows his advice.

Yeah. He adopted me. And he just so happens to be really smart. He's an engineer. Sounds like maybe you should meet him.

I guess I should ask what kind of relationship you want with Sophie.

He's the best. He'll like you. He'd be happy to try and help you out, too.

I don't know how to tell you this, but she does give a shit. She wouldn't have spoken to Gustave if she didn't.

Are you a sad and lonely orphan, too? Before here, I mean.

Everyone in Lumière is an orphan. So people are more open to... getting more family, I guess? I forget some people might not want a guardian.

It's a long story and pretty strange compared to other people's worlds, but... there's no one over 32 left. And each year the number lowers.

[Or at least it used to. It's all over, now.]

We called it the Gommage. Gustave would have been up next, and then everyone 31 years old, and then eventually it would be my turn.

Not going to argue with that.

... I thought we did? But that's what you get from operating entirely on assumptions.

The right thing was maybe the wrong thing. Died anyway. Everyone. Game over.

[She saw that video game screen.]

It can, apparently.

It's not the worst thing. Some of us are here.

Pretty sure we're dead. Here, we're not. It's a very convenient second life.

Don't freak out more than I am, okay? I like it here.

[personal profile] maellum 2025-10-01 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Mostly because Gustave is here, too. He makes everything feel okay.

I've met some cool people, though.
