[A simple anonymous text goes out to the network today. Nothing malicious, honest, just curiosity speaking. For those who know him well, it’s anything but anonymous when they read it. It's a habit of his, after all, and bringing up his identity (or attaching an identity at all) might cause a bit of bias...though asking questions anonymously would subject him to some bias from those browsing the network anyway as well. ~~Shhhh.~~

Ever-curious, ever-wondering. And...a bit ever-tactless, at times. Despite the fact that several people just returned from something quite traumatic, he’s most interested in their thoughts. However, others are certainly welcome too. Nothing wrong with that.]

Though seemingly unpredictable, the power to traverse worlds may contribute to the growth in humanity’s possibilities. But will it lead to man's destruction instead, or...?

[Of course, he may sound a bit detached, but considering his own situation...oh well. Most of the humans here seemed to want to go "home", despite their duties here, and despite the need of their presences here.

And then an apparently illogical topic jump/subject change. Honestly, it’s something he’s been wondering for quite a while now, ever since his arrival. Now that people have experienced more of the proof of existence of multiple worlds, surely this would be a good time to bring it up.]

Hinoto-Ri, I wish to know. What do the worlds you hail from possess that make you desire to return to them so?

[A pause in the typing, as if he just thought of something else.]

Or, for those who have recently returned, another question, if you will. What in this world did you desire while you remained in another?

[...He’s expecting answers like “not going through hell and back”, for the last one. Though given what he’s overheard, he’d pick Hinoto-Ri over wherever they went himself any day. Alcor couldn’t blame them in the least. Humans shouldn't have to needlessly suffer...]

[Because Alcor is weird!!! And Miyako lost any interest in having him understand as she grew up.

Plus, the whole "suddenly leaving without a word" was a rather big thing. Miyako would obviously notice the effect it has on her brother.]

Correct.

[It would take a long time before she would even allow him to understand her. Or for herself to tell him anything.]

I will not force you to answer my inquiries, of course...not that I hold the power to do that in the first place.

[Hideous relationship/makeshift family, really.]

No, you don't. You would rather have us choose.

[Oh so hideous.]

Of course. The freedom of choice is something I would like to present to you.

[How ironic for him to say that, when he's the reason that the Hotsuin family gave their descendants no choices...]

[The irony isn't lost on her. She just stare at what that...that heretic dared to type.

He typed that response to her. And he should know very well why, for all his speeches about the freedom of choice, she lacks it during her life until the disaster.]

Don't you dare say that to me, heretic.

[He's very aware of that, which is why he made sure to apologize for it in each and every iteration. There isn't much he could do about it at this point, however. No mere apology would suffice.

Though the freedom she sought was right here, in Hinoto-Ri, and he truly wanted to nurture that freedom, saying that would probably exacerbate the already tense situation and relationship between them. Perhaps it would be best for him to just...simply stay away from the Hotsuins. Yes. His existence caused them problems, after all. (...His existence caused all of humanity problems.)]

Then I won't.

[She disconnect from the network. Responding to this post was a very bad idea, but she's too angry right now.

Miyako needs to vent.]
