He wouldn't have. Blamed himself, for everything. Tried to tell him many times wasn't his fault. That could only speak for self, but would have made same choices, if had to do it again.

[consider8]

Yes. In part it is because fundamentally that is who you all are. And without your noble efforts and sacrifices no other trolls would have such a powerful example of what troll life can truly become. The symbol of The Signless, who was later known as The Sufferer, became a beacon for trolls of the true oppression that gripped them. For what greater agony could be had that their exemplar had not experienced as well? And the banding together of many like-minded people regardless of past or caste became something new. Something Alternia had never seen up until then.

[And so Aranea reached for her necklace. You know, the one that she had always worn since the day she was here? Perhaps Psii never gave it notice but the tangible proof of their importance -- of Psiioniic and Disciple and Dolorosa and the Signless. The proof of meaning hanging from her neck this whole time.]

He became an exemplar. A living embodiment of hope and possibility.

[00110010_00110011]

What is--

[Oh. Manacles. Psii isn't prepared for how sight hits him, and pulls hand back--retreats entirely, in fact, though not far. Just enough to get some distance.

Doesn't like that being symbol that has come to belong to SS.]

He's--

[Makes himself use correct tense. Denial will only make this harder in long run.] He was so much more than that.

[consider8]

[Aranea frowned a little, and retreated the necklace away from view. Wow. That didn't go how she thought it would.]

Yeah, you're right.

[00110010_00110011]

Sorry. Am glad trolls remember. And do appreciate you telling. Is just. Was there.

[Had known what own fate would be by then, but hadn't cared. Can remember screaming self hoarse, and wetness on face, last tears he shed. Another memory wishes were deleted.

And yet, he doesn't. Burning out those memory sectors would be disservice to SS.]

And haven't thought of it in sweeps. Still hurts.

[consider8]

...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.

[00110010_00110011]

No, don't be. Just. Struck as strange way to show support.

Can see injustice done to SS is strong incentive to change way things work. To make world where that wouldn't happen. Am all right now.

[consider8]

I wanted you to know that your efforts had meaning, but in the end it seemed to have done you more harm than good. I'm sorry, Mitu--

...ah, Psiioniic.

[Thoroughly apologetic.]

[00110010_00110011]

Don't mind if you use name. [He even gives small, reassuring smile.]

Have never forgotten what you said when first arrived. About everything that changed because of... us.

[consider8]

--has changed. Whenever you are in doubt, you only need to look at the few Alternians that were here to see it. They had a chance to do something great because of you. Their very existence is owed to the changes everyone made.

And this symbol. [She touches where her necklace is resting.] Is a continuous reminder that there are things worth... suffering for.

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii manages to suppress wince this time. SS would say, he's sure, doesn't matter what name he became known by, as long as vision for better Alternia survived.]

Would remind you had very little part in actually changing world, if weren't sure you would contradict. Now feel sure Dii had-- [A little smile.] --lion's share of work after SS... was gone.

[consider8]

Oh, now you're just being modest.

[Still, Aranea couldn't help but laugh a little.] Hehehe...

[00110010_00110011]

Wasn't active participant in things that happened because of self. Certainly never wanted her interest, or what she thought was affection. Effect had on story you told was simply because of being in particular place.
