[ficcion]

How do you know you're real?

How do you know that someone else didn't write you, paint you, dream you? How do you know you're not just a figment of someone else's imagination? A fictional thing.

And most importantly, would it matter to you? To be as such? Or to know that other is as such? Would it change the way you think of yourself or someone else? Can you truly be more than whatever someone else thought you up to be?

Are we really ever free?

You're real here. That's what matters.

[ficcion]

Well, it's an opportunity to make it so. Be my own person, do my own things.

Even if I have no idea of what does are.

[mysterioisthetruth]

What is it that you want to do?

[ficcion]

I guess I want to be accepted by someone. Just.

To hear someone say I'm real.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I already said you were.

Or typed it.

[ficcion]

Yes, you did.

Thank you.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Problem solved then!

[ficcion]

Your optimism is almost making it work.

Almost.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Maybe we should meet in person to confirm.

[ficcion]

I'll let you know when we do.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Excellent! I look forward to it, mystery one.
