oh okay then i'll start off with the back home stuff i went back home, fought a war that i was trying to avoid, saved the people in my city while everything else died. the war was so bad that the planet started dying because of it. i got forced into a contract with someone who was the aspect of "death". i had to keep the population under control by killing people every thousand years. it sucked.
eventually, after a long, long time, i got fed up with it because everyone wanted me dead. i just had to live with it for tens of thousands of years. i killed the one i made the contract with and the planet was being supported by no one. it died. and i came here.
i thought i could have a better life here, but all that stuff happened--kido's shadow, the shrine dungeon's bullshit, and... a bunch of stuff. i ruined a lot of relationships. my shadow said that i was running away again and ditching hope. i eventually accepted my shadow again and now i'm living with a lot of stuff.
that's why when you told me about what you did for the past two years back where you came from... it was really cool. compared to what i did anyway.
Even as I grew up, there were others like me who faced the same problems. Even if we didn't always see each other or work together, I knew they were out there, fighting the exact same thing. Our experiences were similar, so we were able to empathize.
We don't keep in touch much anymore because we all have our own things going on, but we all know we're supporting each other in the same fight.
that's good rio... i'm glad that you weren't alone.
for me, it's a little different. i never had anyone i could relate with since i came into existence, but i had friends anyway. i thought the world was nice and thought that i didn't really have to relate to someone to be happy with them. but in the end, no one could truly understand my situation. i think the closest i can get is probably you and minato.
There's someone like that in my world, too. A God who cannot be fully understood by anyone else...
He proved to me that he could fight against the despair of that loneliness and pain even if he was alone. He's the one who told me to go and use my talents and abilities to bring hope to others... who made it possible for me to live to do so.
I try to keep in touch with him, and send him letters and pictures of the places I've been and the people I've met. But I know that won't ever be the same as someone on the same level as him.
The most I can do is make sure his efforts aren't in vain. I have to carry on his hope. So if there is anything I can help you with, please rely on me a little.
rio you really changed. i didnt think you'd want to say something like telling me to rely on you for things like this. i think you're doing good though. you're really sincere.
i'm just a bit worried if people are relying on you too much... that's a lot of pressure and i can already understand something like that. i have a lot of responsibilities here and had a lot back home too. but it makes me really happy to hear that from you, rio. i want to extent the same help to you too.
i don't think i'm all that strong, but minato helped me put that into perspective. i think if i'm still standing here after all that life has thrown at me for tens of thousands of years, it should count for something, right?
When I first came here, I was more occupied with my own survival. I wanted to live long enough to be saved... but that was a fantasy. No one can save me except for myself.
The reason I wanted to be saved was so I would have the time to atone for everything I've done. But given the circumstances, I might as well start now, right? If my power can be used to help save anyone else, that's what I want to do.
You should be proud of yourself for staying standing so long by yourself. But now that we're here, we can help each other out. Does that sound good?
yeah! that's great. i'd love to help each other out... thanks again, rio. i said it before but you're really inspirational. i always want to support you too.

Terry...
Do you know why it's possible for me to stay strong, no matter what happens?
