[Four years. Saleh's mission has been left hanging for four years. The idea of time standing still in Magvel doesn't seem to bring him any comfort. There's still no way to know if it's actually true. And if it's not? If something has happened to Lady Myrrh? He could never forgive himself. He had the duty to protect her, and help her fulfill her mission.]

...I've been in this world for four years now. I've vowed to myself that I wouldn't become complacent, but...I can't help the feeling that I've failed. I have taken action when I could, but we're still no closer to getting home. Am I not doing enough?

Four years huh? I thought I was getting up there with two...

If it makes you feel better, no one's really gotten close to getting home if it isn't by the graces of our illustrious cagers.

...Still, there are others who have managed to learn much more about what was going on in this world...

[Saleh's tried to pay attention to the secure network, but then there were other people, such as Leonhardt, who knew a lot more, and Saleh can't help but wonder how he learned as much as he did. Perhaps through missions?]

Yeah, I suppose that's true. We're not totally clueless, but our cagers do a lot to keep us in the dark. It makes you wonder what price they paid to learn what they did.

Each of us does what we can. There is nothing wrong with perhaps taking a bit of time to center oneself and take things at a slower pace. Much can be missed if you rush.

[Video] Yay fortune cookie!

[mountain_sage]

Hmm...perhaps that would be my problem. I've kept myself busy, patrolling the forest, practicing Valega, and studying my magic, that I may have missed some things...

Yes, I would say you should take some time to enjoy yourself a bit more. Perhaps go to the hot springs and enjoy a nice relaxing bath.

[That was the sort of thing which always made him quite happy]

[mountain_sage]

I have done that a few times. It feels good to unwind, but it’s not very productive...

[Saleh had found himself practicing his Valega in the hot springs, since it basically served the same purpose to an extent.]

[tea_lover64]

Productivity is not always a good thing. If you are constantly seeking to accomplish something, you forget what you are doing in the present.

[Live life to its fullest, especially if that is enjoying oneself]

[Ami, another old-timer, thinks about this quite often.]

I think it's important to keep trying to find a way to return home; but I think what happens here is important, and there are things we should do here, too. So I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

...Indeed. I try to learn what I can here, and to better myself in the process. So at least I can be better prepared when I do return home...

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

When I went home, I didn't remember anything that happened here. [It's a fair warning, really.] However, that's why I want to try to find a way that we can.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

[Well, that once again confirms Saleh's biggest fear.]

Ah...yes, I would like to find a way for that as well.

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

[Well, the future still isn't set. There's still the possibility of finding a way to resolve the problems in Luceti that will allow people to return home, with their memories.

She only doubts it will be easy. But she wants to at least try.]

It's sort of hard for me to say, but I think we might be able to. We have time here, and if we keep working at it... If we find a way to send people home, I think the memories would stay, if it were done right.
