I am a queen. I am never under any obligation unless it so pleases me.

Obviously, I can hardly force you, but it was rather nice to call you a close friend, even if it may not have been entirely real.

I thought you would find it weird.
A whole new set of memories, a life we never lived.

Especially considering everything that happened here.

<QueenRegnant>

[reignfall]

It is weird, but so is just about everything here.

The truth of it is that I liked being Celeste. Sure, she was full of all sorts of vapid notions, but she understood this world.

I liked knowing her. It was kind of like having my best friend back.
Except I couldn't remember that I ever had a different one and when I think about that too long I don't

I don't like it.

I like YOU, here and there, I'm just confused.

My last close friend died a long time ago. It did not occur to me that I would miss the connection.

[isawallflower]

I'm so sorry, I had no idea. That must make all of this even more confusing.

<QueenRegnant>

[reignfall]

Perhaps. Do you trust your friends, Riley?

[ She types I do but then deletes it. ]

I think so.
With some things.
