[ HELP. ]

...Do you recognize it?

[ to diluc it looks like a perfectly respectable tome. licherally judging a book by its cover. ]

[messy]

Yeah, it's the ghost of senior year.

Where did they even find this?

[pyromance]

[ okay well. that gets him to flip through a few pages in curiosity. ]

...Is this not The Gloaming?

[ wait, these character names don't seem quite right... ]

[messy]

... Oh, shit. Is this what The Gloaming reminded me of? I've been trying to figure it out all day!

[pyromance]

...So they aren't the same.

[ but similar enough to be conflated. huh! ]

...Is this sort of fiction really so popular, even in your world?

[ if he sounds a bit judgmental... it's because he is... ]

[messy]

Oooohh, yeah. It used to be a really big thing back in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

[pyromance]

That was... a long time ago for you?

[ unfortunately those years mean nothing to him, however i too am personally balding thinking that far back. anyway he's trying to be polite around the topic of age, etc. ]

[messy]

Over a decade ago...

[pyromance]

...It seems time does not heal all wounds.

[ if tw*light is still around. ]
