“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

I'll be counting on you then.

[Like he counts on Leader Noir. Looking around at the table--he's not sure when he's gotten to know so many people (and not even all of them are here Michel fled the teenagerdom after all) he genuinely feels at ease with.]

...I think everyone made it easy for me to reach out though.

[murrmoire]

You think so?

[ He tilts his head. It's not that he's surprised, but he doesn't know much about Sinclair. The guy seems a little timid, but he also seems to generally do well with people, so... ]

Were you not this open before?

[insinning]

No. It was harder before.

[Sinclair laughs a little sheepishly. He's not going to bring up Bad Events but]

I attended a really wealthy high school where people were always a bit...judgemental?

[Not a lie!]

[murrmoire]

What would there be to judge?

[ Said like it's a fact. ]

Well, I've seen students be rotten to people who are well-meaning. They may have just been insecure.

[insinning]

Maybe. Looking back, there should have been nothing to be afraid of...but, if you didn't fit in the right way...

[ He's not bothered by that anymore, so it's all matter of fact]

I guess things became clearer after how stupid it was.

[murrmoire]

It might have been, but you fit in here. I think that matters a lot more, doesn't it?

[ Noé is clearly on team Sinclair here. He thinks very highly of him. Once more, he stuffs his face with food, takes a moment to swallow... ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair takes a moment to think--ah.]

Yeah, you're right. I...didn't think I'd get to meet so many wonderful people.

[murrmoire]

I understand! Even though I travel a lot, I've met some of the kindest people I know in this game.

[ ... ]

I guess that's one thing to be grateful for. I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone, but if anything... I won't have regrets about the people I've met.

[insinning]

Yeah. I'm glad I met them. I think it helped me value what I did have more--and what to look for in the future.

[murrmoire]

The future...

[ They'll have one. They all will. Noé can believe it, and he refuses not to. He's going to keep hope alive. ]

Yes. I'm happy for you, Vogel.

[insinning]

Emil. [Pause. Strangely, he wants his name to be known] You can call me 'Emil'. That's my real name.

[murrmoire]

Emil... That's a nice name. Emil it is, then.

[ Did he say his? Probably not. Therefore: ]

You can call me Noé.

[insinning]

Noé.

[He repeats it and smiles]

Yours is a good name too. I wont forget it.

[Because gestures at the meeting]

wrap up? c:

[murrmoire]

[ Good. Someone needs to remember it, because Noé sure won't in the next update- ]

Thank you. I won't wreck your hot pot next time, either. Promise.

wrap up /o/

[insinning]

[Sinclair laughs, shaking his head]

It's fine. We'll just have to get a bigger pot next time.

[bye noe he hardly knew you---]
