[ alex has been saying when and jonas always thinks if, and that kind of says everything he needs to know about how optimism works for the two of them. but he had been thinking before, during that first night in camena, that it was going to be a place he would like. it would be a good place to start building life again.
so...it's a nice thought, sometimes, even if it might be someone else's dream every now and again. ]
Yeah. No, I know. It's...nice to have something to look forward to again.
[ which is kind of said more for her than him, but there's still a truth to it. ]
[ and here alex had been maybe kind of trying to run away from camena.
but since winding up here, she thinks more and more that she might like to stay. so—it's too bad that she won't get to. or maybe if you really stretch the definition of "stay," she will?
well. anyway. ]
Mmhmm. Then we'll switch places, and I'll complain about how optimistic you are.

And maybe that's why "team morale" has a question mark next to it. [ funny. ] Who knows. Maybe someday there'll be more reasons for more of them.
[ even that's kind of dry like "we are dead so i doubt it" but hey. vaguely positive attempt anyway. ]

I know things—like, suck right now, obviously. But when we get home, things are gonna be good.
