[ it sounds sad, is the thing. for someone like jonas who is a little more clingy than he wants to admit. ]

What about like...your family or anything? Are they not in the picture anymore?

[ A light shrug of her shoulders.

There's a reason she's like this, but it's not a reason she easily tends to share. Kyoko isn't a lonely person, but she is often just... Alone. ]

My father died and left his agency to me. I don't have any siblings and my mother isn't in the picture.

[westedge]

[ ...that would make things a little different, he thinks. ]

...I remember you mentioned about your dad being deceased for a while now. [ way, way back during 2 truths and 1 lie. he can read and remember things. ] But I don't think I realized after that you really just...didn't have anybody else. Did you even want the agency?

[ or did she just inherit it and continues to have it because there was no other option? ]

["Nobody" isn't exactly right, but it's a lot of professional contacts.]

I did, I was helping him with it since I was younger anyway. It did feel like it would be natural for me to take it.

[westedge]

And it's still something you want now? Like...I don't know, you've never thought about doing something else after.

[factoring]

I like my job. I can't imagine what else I'd do.

[Be a professor maybe? She does like knowing things.]

[westedge]

[ hum. ]

I guess that's fair. I haven't really thought about what I want to do with my future, so I guess it's just interesting to meet people who...kind of already had their future laid out for them.

[factoring]

There's no reason to pick right away. The future stretches before you and you can find something that fits.

[westedge]

The future is...extremely intimidating for that reason. Especially when you aren't sure how long you actually have to have it.

[factoring]

Because of this game, or because of something else?

[westedge]

Originally something else, but this game doesn't help either, I guess.

[factoring]

Would you like to talk about it?

[westedge]

[ hm... ]

It's...I mean maybe I'm being dramatic, but I do kind of feel like unless I figure out some stuff I already wrecked chances for my future. So it's a lot of figuring out the next steps to try and fix it all. Does that make sense?

[factoring]

Hmm... If you know that you need to figure things out, it seems like you're on the right track to "fixing" things.

[westedge]

Even if it feels more like "I'm standing on the middle of the track without a clue which direction to pick"? Because that's what it feels like half the time.

[factoring]

If you feel like you don't know, that's a good time to talk to the people you trust. Making a decision together is an option.

[westedge]

[ ....mm. ]

The people I trust have their own things to work out. [ vague. ] But I agree with you. Making a decision together is always an option for just about everything. So maybe that's an option for another time.
