[IT REALLY FUCKING DOES.

Anyway Lucas has been trapped here in hell before so he immediately gives a warning as soon as he sees Waner there.]

Please don't go inside.

[jiaohua]

...it's that bad, is it?

[faithkept]

Some of us were trapped in there not all that long ago... It made people behave insanely.

[THAT WAS JUST THEM ON THEIR OWN.]

[jiaohua]

[Most people don't need a room to make them behave insanely around here.

ah, thoughtshare week.]

...is that so.

[faithkept]

[HELP. He startles a little on hearing her brainmouth just say things and also has to cough to obscure a light and reflexive laugh.]

Oh, my. [GIRL... Well. She's not wrong, though.] ...Perhaps it merely brought out the preexisting insanity, then.

[jiaohua]

[she's just kind of resigned to the fact that thoughtshare week means there is no point in acting polite when she's got rude thoughts, so.]

You might be right about that. Though it doesn't seem to take much nudging for that to come out, in general.

[faithkept]

[She is so right about that.]

Has it been like this the entire time...?

[jiaohua]

Yes. Yes, it has.

[faithkept]

[Sad eyes of pity.]

I am so sorry, my dear.

[jiaohua]

...it's fine. There's only a few weeks left of this, one way or another.

[either they'll get out of here or they'll all go to hell, conceivably! yeehaw.]

[faithkept]

[THIS WHOLE GROUP JUST FIELD TRIP SCHOOL BUS DUMPED IN HELL. They get to meet the superhells.]

This has been the longest eight weeks of my entire life.

[jiaohua]

You're not wrong about that. And yet, at the same time, it feels as though the weeks have flown by.

[faithkept]

I was speaking with Gabriel about that, not that long ago... Time dilation.

[jiaohua]

..."time dilation"?

[the fuck is that.]

[faithkept]

Just the sensation that time is moving strangely, from what I gathered.

[jiaohua]

Ah... I see. Well... our sense of time ought to go back to normal once this is all over and done with, don't you think?

[faithkept]

I should hope so, at least. I don't think anyone can carry on living like this for an extended period of time...

[it is called being a millennial in this economy]

[jiaohua]

...all this has taught me is that when I die, I really hope I don't go to heaven, or to this place's version of hell.

[faithkept]

Heaven isn't meant to be like this, to be fair...

[jiaohua]

...what is it meant to be like?

[faithkept]

An actual paradise, for one... No killing or murder or strange forms of bureaucracy.

[jiaohua]

It's sort of hard to imagine after we've spent so long being told that this is heaven.

[faithkept]

I understand... It might be easier to simply think of it like the multiple gods that apparently exist across all worlds.

[jiaohua]

...I suppose so, yes.
