I can't. [ Not "won't." Not "don't." ]

Maybe to an extent, I can have some level of trust. But inevitably, I start thinking there's no guarantee someone I care about, outside of my colleagues who went through hell with me, won't do that again. And it'll be on me if I believed in them completely.

[newphew]

Your colleagues from home, you mean? [ or from here? ]

[ otherwise he just... nods, quietly ]

[bemist]

From home, yeah. You could say ten thousand years of being stuck together does eventually mean you're bound to trust them.

[newphew]

[ he keeps meaning to ask his question but that--- makes his eyes widen ]

Ten thousand?

[bemist]

Ten thousand. We didn't age, obviously. Not physically.

[ Well, they were also machines. ]

[newphew]

How is that possible?

[ even belos was only like 400 years old ]

[bemist]

Technology and Singularities. Which is usually the answer to any question about something that should be impossible. In actuality, only ten years passed for the outside.

[newphew]

[ he is having a hard time wrapping his head around this, but.... ]

.... Your realm sounds.... complicated.

[ to say the least ]

Though I suppose time travel exists in the Demon Realm, so...

[ who is he to question anything ]

[bemist]

It's not something most know about it, so you're right.

[ Complicated is one way to put it, certainly. ]

[newphew]

How do you... Keep going? When so much time has passed where you were, but then you get back, and it's only been 10 years?

[ he really can't wrap his head around it ]

[bemist]

You just keep going. It's not like I could have gone back to how things were. There weren't people who missed me, anyway.
