[Lucy's noticed how the internet here doesn't allow one to post anonymously, so she decides to go with a username that she'll probably never use again. It's the closest thing she's got to anonymous.]

So, I went through the whole forum and it doesn't look like this has been asked before.

Who else was dead, or in the process of dying when they arrived here?

i'm not
in japan i'm baku, the devourer of dreams

[scarredhorns]

[Baku... Devourer of dreams... Why does she feel as though she's heard that from somewhere before?

And then it hits her.]

Huh, never thought I'd actually talk to you directly.
Or text you, rather. Let alone that you knew how to text.
I remember from when I was a kid,
they'd tell us to call on Baku if we had nightmares.
But the Baku in my world either didn't care or didn't exist outside of folklore since I still had them.

[Lots of them.]

Not to say it's your fault.
My world was just a shitty place in general.

[dreamvour]

i've gotten that a lot more or less
i do more than devour dreams in my world but that's still my main purpose
i'm sorry a baku never answered your call, though
it's sad to hear that one may not exist or isn't fulfilling its purpose

it doesn't sound like a very nice place

[scarredhorns]

[Now she's curious about what else Baku does in their world, but she'll save that for whenever they text, or speak, again.]

It wasn't.
Even now, I think it would have been better off destroyed.

[More of the blue minobi effect drawing the truth of her.]

But if it had been destroyed, then the one I loved would have had to die with it.
I didn't want that, so I sacrificed my life for his.
I know you said before that you refuse to believe death is the only way,
but I don't regret my decision.
I was finally able to use my life for something better than killing.

[dreamvour]

i would never tell someone to regret giving their life for someone else
even if there's other ways
so i understand in a way

[scarredhorns]

I'm relieved then, because I'm not sure if I could have explained why.
I just wanted to protect him, that's all.

Thanks for listening to me.
I'm not usually like this, but certain circumstances have led to me needing to get this off my chest.

[Namely the blue minobi.]
