That was quite the event. Minato was relieved that it was over when it was over. After he got some rest, he had to check on his friends, check on anyone who needed it, and then just find some way to relax. Try to get back to normal.

So he found himself out at the beach, doing something mundane. The ocean was still enough that he could do this: Skipping rocks.

Someone once said that Hell is on your last day alive, you meet the person you could've been.

What's Heaven like then?

[It couldn't have been as simple as not meeting them. There had to be other interpretations.

I don't know if I have to know someone in order to wish them well.

[postictal]

not everyone here might be wishing you well

[jivitadana]

I don't necessarily have to receive the same feeling back, do I?

[The story of his life, the story of his life...]

text

[postictal]

i guess not
do what you want i guess

text

[jivitadana]

Did you not want me to care?

[He really was just wondering.]

text

[postictal]

no it just
doesn't really matter

[Not like he's got anything against basic sympathy, in theory or in practice, but he's never been granted a scrap of it.]

text

[jivitadana]

You mean caring in general doesn't matter?

[Just for clarification.]

text

[postictal]

no
never mind
don't worry about it

text

[jivitadana]

Okay. But if you do need help, let me know. I can heal, if need be too.

[Not that he's wishing anything bad on him. He was just offering.]

text

[postictal]

physical stuff i'm guessing?

[Hah. Yeah. Can't fix up old Tim's brain. No one can.]

text

[jivitadana]

Physical. So one less thing to worry about.

text

[postictal]

i guess so yeah
i'll keep it in mind.
thanks.

text

[jivitadana]

No problem. Thanks too. You didn't have to answer my questions, but you did.

[Again, it was appreciated. His world was actually so small, and having other people offer their views opened it up.]

[postictal]

[Not that he answered them all that well, but...hey, it's something, right?

Hah. Yeah. Good one. Good joke. Everyone's laughing.

He lets the conversation dwindle into nothing.]
