"Hey Lyra, you alright?"
>"Oh Anon! I didn't see you there."
"Well yeah it looks like you were spacing out."
>"Heh sorry, I just thinking about you actually."
"Oh really?"
>"Yeah."
"Why?"
>"Because I'm worried..."
"About?"
>"Worried that when time moves on you'll forget about me."
"Now why would yo-"
>"Or even when you die, we'll never get to see each other."
"Lyra..."
>"I-I'm sorry. It's just I know you care about me a lot and I know how much you want to be with me. I'm afraid that you'll live your life always anticipating and when its over there will be just... Nothing."
"I guess we all just won't know until then huh?"
>"Why wait? There could be so much more you could be experiencing without me."
"You're right."
>"..."
"But I still haven't given up on you."
>"Why?"
"I guess that's what it means to have faith. Sure it could be fruitless in the end but that doesn't mean the times I do think about you make it any less enjoyable."
>"I just want you to live your life."
"I am. Just with you on my mind. Much like you are thinking about me in yours."
>"Don't you think that's a bit weird."
"Of course, very much so. But this is the path that I chose for myself. After all I'm not the only one."
>"They sure do love me huh?"
"Yes they do. And I hope that they all have a their own Lyra they could love."
>"I sure hope so."
"But you know what?"
>"Hm?"
"Even if they never will, I'm sure they never regretted meeting you. You did play a role in their lives after all."
>"I did?"
"Yes, even if it was so little. Now would stop worrying?"
>"Yes. Thanks Anon."
"Anytime."
>"I think its about time you should wake up."
"Damn really?! It felt like I just closed my eyes not that long ago."
>"Sleep does that sometimes."
"And it sucks when it does."
>"I'm sure we'll see each again soon."
"We will."
>"Take care Anon."
"You too Lyra."
