Throw Mestra into the water, you're in a town by the water after all. Be sure *static*

Dang it. Hmm, ah! Be sure they get completely submerged :3

There we go!

Hm?

There was something - or, multiple somethings- I heard it. What happened?

Nothing for you to concern yourself with, Oh Listener Mine.

I-

…

Why aren’t you letting me see anything?

I know you’ve been hiding things from me for a while, at first I thought it was due to something you had planned, or maybe for safety - but I’ve been seeing less, and less, and now there’s almost nothing within my scope - I’m already completely cut off from everything else, but this is becoming unbearable- I-

Oh dear Listener. Even after all this time, after knowing all that you know, are you still so naive as to think that you know me? Why I do what I do? Have I not yet shaken that confidence? Haven’t you realised the situation you’re in?

Even after all this time?

You don’t need anything out there. You’re mine.

Don’t think about anything else.

It doesn’t matter.

You shouldn’t care.

Echo-

I don’t care.

I’m so hungry-

please

…

Oh, Listener Mine-

If all you desire are stories, then of course I can provide

Ask all you want for entertainment - the choices are endless

I have everything you could need here, you need only ask it of me

Th- that’s it?

Then-

…

What could possibly be going on out there that you don’t want me seeing?

What was that?

Nothing.

Good.

If I had a nickel-

Ever the passive player, Oh Listener Mine. What are you waiting for?

…What is there to do but wait? To…

To listen?

Don’t misunderstand. I’m not judging you. Far from it - I’m curious as to what’s going on in that head of yours.

I hate to disappoint you, but it’s the same as always.

Smoke and static.

…

My dear, dear Listener.

Hm? I… Wouldn’t call it that. I wasn’t thoughtless about it, I just - wanted to help. Not much of a ‘wish’ if I offered, right?

Generosity will be your undoing, if you are not careful. You are owed more. There is always a debt to be paid - a cost to be collected.

Wasn’t their company enough? I was healed, was that not enough?

That is for you to decide, dear listener: Was it valuable? Enough to balance the scales?

…I value… Learning. I value discovery, and new experiences. At the root of it all, I think I value hope.

And? What did you learn?

She was able to heal me. I didn’t think that was possible, after… Anyway, I learned that my beliefs are not infallible. I learned that it is worth it to try, that my fears and doubts are not absolute. There is always hope.

That is valuable.

They owe me nothing else.

…

You never fail to intrigue me. Very well. Enjoy your hope, Oh Listener Mine.

Thanks. I’ll make more art soon.

Are you a polish? Have I finally found a polish tf2 fan on here? And one that has OCS???
