"Doesn't sound like a happy character, does it?  But this story is not apparently setting up for me to be happy, and at that point, if you're to go on playing at all, it makes more sense to speedrun the story as quickly as possible, and hope it ends with me and Carissa back again, than drag it out by futilely trying to be happy during the Osirion arc-"

"I guess I don't know that's the obvious strategy the way it would be inside a dath ilani story.  This sure isn't a dath ilani story medium, we couldn't send True Dead people to places where a-priori-unlikely events would happen around them, and the tropes - are not quite right.  A-priori-unlikely: things you wouldn't have expected before you saw them.  There's a more precise technical meaning but it takes math to explain."

"Anyways.  There's only one possible answer to that argument, in dath ilan or anywhere else, if you're reasoning validly - in a way where conclusions follow from premises."

"If the world is a story, I desire to believe it is a story; if the world is not a story, I desire not to believe it is a story; let me not become attached to beliefs I may want."
