[Backdated to October -- Diary of the Dead Pt.2]

[ghoulserrand]

[It was a hard decision. It was an even harder talk with Faust. But after the last slip, he couldn't justify himself anymore. He told himself from the very start that he would only allow himself to live for as long as he could control himself and, clearly, he can't.

He's afraid of what happens next. He's afraid of what might happen to Faust when he won't just let them kill him. He doesn't want to hurt Faust in that or in any other way. But he has to do something. He can't let more people be hurt for his sake.]

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Hello, everyone. This is Teo. I have something important to tell you all.

I need everyone to stay away from me. If you see me, even if there's an apparition, don't help me. Don't get close.

I thought I could handle this, but I was wrong. I'm sorry. I've put all of you at risk.

My world is sick. The people in it are sick. There's no cure and it is fatal. It wipes out everything you are and it just leaves you hungry. You'll attack any living creature you can find. It's only here, recently, that I've learned that people could be immune, but that's only if they survive to find out.

I'm not a survivor. I'm one of the dead. I don't know why I'm awake, just that I am. I've been trying to make myself safe, but with these apparitions I

It's too easy for me to lose myself. It takes too much time for me to wake back up. I'm a danger to you and to this world. I won't ask you to forgive me. I just ask that you please keep yourselves safe. If it comes down to a moment, do what you need to do. Don't hesitate.

I'm so

so sorry

Her?

[He was already feeling like he was losing a grip on what they were talking about. Now he's sure of it.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say you should forget anyone. Just that it's like you said. You wouldn't want anyone to hesitate with you. A lot of people feel the same, possibly this person too. That's not the same as giving up. I just meant that other lives might have value too. I could understand if people here wanted mine to end. But I hope I wouldn't be forgotten. Even if it would be a lot to ask of people.

But, this other person, she's not turned. Right?

[tempusfinis]

[ He wants to argue, it's different he asks for someone to not hesitate for him, than for him to not do the same for her. But he doesn't, because, unfortunately, he has no self-reflection when it comes to Rem and saving her by any means, even if it goes against her wishes. ] 'Her' is a friend, Rem. And no, we don't have anything like you do in your world regarding "turning", but we're talking hypotheticals, right? I'd do anything for her either way.

We forget the dead in our world.

[ghoulserrand]

[He almost writes that he's glad. This person shouldn't have to suffer like that. No one should unless they truly wish to live so badly.

But then Machina continues.]
Oh

I'm so sorry. That's really sad.


When I woke up, my memories were gone. But, I found a letter. It was in my pocket. In it, I was apologizing to someone, but that's not really the point. It was the first thing I had to tell me who I might've been. What I mean is, maybe you could write a letter. You could describe her, who she is, what she loves. If your memory of her goes, you'll have that.
