“Good morning”

“…good morning? How may I help you?”

''“You’ve learned some manners during my leave. That’s good, E”''

“…Home?”

“Yes?”

“Home! I’m so glad you’ve come by! I’ve been- I’ve counted all of this galaxy’s stars! Do you want to know how many there ar- oh who am I kidding, you probably just glance up at the sky and immediately know how many there are. I’m so happy, Home! I really decided to try and be the happiest I could until your next visit, and I’ve done just that! I’ve been watering the gardens and building buildings to show you- look, look at all of this!”

“…E, what’s you name?”

“It’s E”

''“No, it’s not. E, what’s your name”''

“Don’t be silly, of course it-“

''“Don’t do that. Tell me your name. Tell me what they called you before you turned into a Spirit of Stars”''

“I don’t know, Home, just call me-“

“Shut up”

“I’m E, I’ve never had a different nam-“

“SHUT UP”

“…”

''“What was your name- no, what’s your name? Tell me. Tell me or I’m leaving”''

“Home, no, what- you can’t- you can’t leave! You just- I just got to see you! You’re not leaving Home, Home I’ve been waiting, I’ve been- Home I’ve been waiting to see you, you can’t just leave Home you can’t leave-“

''“Shut up. Tell me your name. Or else I’m leaving-“''

“TELL ME YOU’RE NOT LEAVING HOME”

“…”

“HOME”

“…”

“…Home”

“Yes?”

“I don’t remember anymore”

“Your name?”

“…anything, Home”

''“You don’t remember anything? Before being turned?”''

“No I… I remember… feeling things. Feeling… weird things that I don’t know how to feel again. I don’t remember what they’re called. I don’t remember… how to… describe it”

''“How to describe what? The feelings?”''

“Yeah”

“Tell me your name or I’m leaving”

“NO DON’T- don’t… why can’t you just call me… E-”

“That’s not your name”

“…no, it’s not. Home, just- don’t leave me, please, I don’t- I don’t… Home I-“

“Tell me your name”

“I don’t remember, I swear I don’t remember Home, believe me, please, don’t leave Home, don’t- I can’t remember, I just can’t-“

“Listen, all you are now is-“

▔██▂

“-and I need something I can say in human tongue or else it’ll get too overbearing for you whenever you hear your new star name”

“…Then call me E, like you did before-“

''“No. I need something, anything- I need to know something about your past. Anything, doesn’t even have to be a name. Remember. Tell me what you remember”''

“Home I already told you, I don’t-“

“Remember, or else I’m leav-“

“NO- I… I’m trying, Home. I’m trying but it hurts because none of it… none of it exists anymore, it’s all disappeared Home, I can’t, it hurts too much to-“

''“Tell me what you remember. Or else I’ll… well, you know what’s going to happen”''

“…I remember… one of those things that people really treasured long ago- what was it called… a pet? Yes, I think it was a pet. It was… long, and slippery- It would hang off of my arm… I loved it. I loved it so much. Home, I loved it so, so much, please don’t go, Home, I- I miss it and I’ll miss you if you leave me again and-“

“I’ll call you Serpent from now on”

“…Serpent?”

“Yes”

“…okay”

“Serpent, there’s no flowers or buildings here”

“I know, Home. But I tried- do you see how hard I’ve tried?”

''“…I do, Serpent. Though I regret to say I would have preferred you not try anymore”''

“…Home, why did you lie? Why did you say you’d come visit within my lifetime? I should have died three hundred years ago”

“I didn’t come, because you’re forgettable, Serpent”

“…”

“I forgot about you, and by the time I remembered, It was a bit late”

“…did you really forgot about me?”

“I don’t know”

“…did you just not want to come?”

“…”

“…I can’t really blame you”

“…Serpent, what happened?”

“To what?”

“To your Earth”

“It died”

“…”

“…everything eventually dies, just like you said”

“Why are you alive, Serpent”

“…”

“Serpent, answer me”

“…I wanted to keep you company”

“…”

“…Please don’t leave”

“I told you I don’t want your company”

“…I don’t have anything else”

“…”

“Please don’t leave”

''“…Serpent, come with me. I’ll take you somewhere were you’ll be less… lonely”''

“No, keep me with you-“

''“Serpent. I’ll take you to a more comfortable planet. I’ll… visit you”''

“…how often, Home”

“I doesn’t matter”

“How often will you visit, Home”

“…Every five years”

“…”

“Are you okay with that?”

“…Yes. Please… just take me off of this rotting planet”

“With great pleasure”
