[It's an unfortunate truth, but it's one they certainly can't afford to blind themselves to. The day may very well come when they find themselves with no choice but to choose one side or the other for survival's sake.
Hopefully that day won't come. But if it does...]
It would be best to keep our eyes and ears open for any hint of change coming, I'd say.
I'd like to believe otherwise, but I don't think that you're wrong.
[It really is a shame. What can they do to ensure that the scales remain balanced for as long as possible? It really would be unfortunate if some kind of violent fighting broke out.]
What's the phrase... "Hope for the best, while preparing for the worst"?

No matter what the agreement is between the two sides, something tells me this peace won't last long...

Date: 2018-01-10 08:23 pm (UTC)I don't know the phrase, but that sounds like a plan, in any case.
It's about all we can do for now, anyway.

Date: 2018-01-12 06:30 am (UTC)[They really do think alike, don't they? Haru smiles.]
...I hope the two of us can stay in contact in the coming months. I get the feeling we'll be able to work well together.

Date: 2018-01-12 07:37 pm (UTC)[ That smile is easily returned. ]
It’s been a pleasure talking with you! [ Even if their conversation piece was a little... somber.
He’s about ready to leave off there and bring things to a close, but then belatedly remembers something. ]
Oh, right -- should we exchange contact information?
[ Because he almost forgot that’s A Thing here. ]

Anyway, time to whip out their phones and take care of that.]
...there you go!

Date: 2018-01-14 03:12 am (UTC)Thanks!
[ He sends his back. Hopefully. He's learned to type and do the basics, but technology still isn't his strong suit. ]
I hope we're able to meet again.

Compared to where I came from, these places are relatively small. So... it won't be difficult at all for us to run into each other.

Date: 2018-01-14 04:50 am (UTC)It's the exact opposite for me. Everything here is so bustling and lively at all hours... it's night and day from where I was raised!

Date: 2018-01-14 08:31 am (UTC)[Hmm. Well, she supposes it's not terribly surprising - Tokyo's big even by modern-day standards.]
I suppose it's a matter of perspective...

Date: 2018-01-15 03:59 am (UTC)[ He shrugs slightly. ]
I've even met someone here who came from another planet entirely!

Date: 2018-01-15 09:38 pm (UTC)[Haru's eyes go wide.]
That's amazing. Where I come from, nobody has ever been able to confirm whether or not there was life on Mars.

Date: 2018-01-16 06:11 pm (UTC)[ He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. ] It's not something anyone's given a lot of thought to, really.
[ But he came into the world in one of its darkest hours; surely people had bigger, more pressing things on their minds. ]
(no subject)
Date: 2018-01-18 05:30 pm (UTC)[Which he's probably all too aware of.]
Still, it is fascinating. I'd love to learn more about all of the places that people are coming from, if we ever had the time.

Date: 2018-01-23 09:09 pm (UTC)[ That's his characteristically-optimistic viewpoint, at least. ]
Maybe not everyone, but... [ A small shrug. ] I've yet to meet someone unwilling to talk about their home.

Date: 2018-01-26 03:28 am (UTC)[Some people are cagier than others for privacy reasons, but it's been relatively easy to get people to open up.]
I think perhaps we're all a little homesick. Talking about it helps, though.

Date: 2018-01-28 06:20 pm (UTC)[ Sorey, for one, misses Glenwood. He worries for it; fears for what may be spreading in his absence, what with all the malevolence about... ]
Say, Haru -- do you actually think all our home worlds are gone? That The Storm swallowed them all?
[ Now that's something he doesn't ask every day, but. Well. He trusts her to give an honest answer. ]
