[ Damian hasn't realized it yet either. Only viewed her closed door as a sign that they keep missing each other, he's more focused on the coming drop then someone else vanishing.

What a fool. ]

I don't know.

[secondnature]

[And here it comes, the point he realizes he has to make.]

I don't think this is a bad idea. I just think we need to approach it with more flexibility than you're suggesting. And have more faith in us.

But ... we disappear a lot. Almost every friend I've made here has left. That doesn't have anything to do with faith, or what we can pull off. It's about how little control we have.

[batricide]

Almost all leaders are mortal and can die.
I plan to come up with contingencies in case of it.
This isn't a lack of faith. This is awareness of how the world works.

[secondnature]

This isn't death. This is not knowing if someone is gone, waiting until enough days have passed for you to call it. Hoping that they'll come back anyway.

[This is Keith's abandonment complex in its rawest form.]

If you have a plan for that, I'll support you.

But don't try to act like I'm not aware because I reminded you to have faith.

[batricide]

You didn't remind me of anything.
If I didn't have faith that this group could do something, I'd have struck out on my own a long time ago.

[secondnature]

[Oh.]

Why didn't you say that sooner?

[Not that there was really an opportunity.]

Thank you for your input. I think I've got what I needed.

[ KEITH. ]

[secondnature]

Okay.

[That's it.]
