Given how my brothers blade has somehow been brought here without his spirit present I only fear the worse. The possibility they too may have been here but without us has crossed my mind.

[crashout]

Are you sure his spirit isn't present? Like...is it possible for you guys to just retreat into solid sword form or something?

[daifukus]

[ he shakes his head ]

It feels like an empty weapon. There is no soul present.

[crashout]

Maybe it's just a replica then.

[daifukus]

[ 😟 ]

It's very possible...............

[crashout]

Maybe that's the better option. That way at least you know he's safe somewhere. [Relatively.]

[daifukus]

I sincerely hope he is safe at home. It certainly would give me peace of mind.

[crashout]

As far as I can tell, we have two choices until we get a confirmation. We can believe things are okay, or we can believe they aren't.

Wouldn't the choice be obvious for most people?

[daifukus]

You're indeed right. I fear it's much too easy to believe the worse and thus must bring myself to believe the best until otherwise.

[ or else he'll just be A Sad Spear in the corner and no one needs that ]

[crashout]

Exactly. [There's a confident nod even though he's an expert at believing the worst. Sometimes you just fake it until you make it.]

...I'll ask around and see if I can brainstorm what your pen could be used for.

[daifukus]

[ honestly, that's valid ]

Oh-! [ guess who fuckin forgot about it ] Yes, that would be wise. I fear if it were to become necessary and none of us understood its use.

[crashout]

We have a little time before Saturday, at least. We'll figure something out before then.

[daifukus]

[ and then it vanished into the ether where it was never seen again nor did we ever figure out its proper use, haha! ]
