*I turn to look at what they were talking about.*

*I stand there, watching. I really hope this will work because it would be really funny if it did. I rub my hands together maniacally.*

(Oh ok)

* Wait, what? Who was he talking to? I tried to look around for another person, even though I didn’t hear anything. I must look crazy looking for someone who wasn’t even there. I tried to brush past it and stood there, I wasn’t hungry so no point in manifesting any food for myself.*

(Wait are we still in space or did we teleport to the planet?)

*I don’t think that we’re really prepared for exploration, but we can’t die still so maybe it won’t be so bad? Unless there’s a time limit for the infinite lives, which would be pretty bad.* “I mean, we still have infinite lives right? Maybe a little exploring wouldn’t hurt.”

“Oh, interesting.” *Just as I expected, which is relieving. Then I start to wonder when we’re going to get back home.* “ So uh.. do we go back now..? Or are we exploring more?”

I don’t know the answer to any of these

*I giggle a little as I realize what she’s about to do.*

“Wow, it’s that close?” * I know it will probably not be for a long time until that actually happens, as everything else I’ve heard does, such as the sun forming into a red giant.*

*Curious on what she’s going to do, I get up from the floor and follow Pearl.*

“Yeah, I know they could turn on us instead, but they’re spirits right? Can spirits even harm, let alone touch, anything that’s still alive?” *I wasn’t really willing to test that theory though, but they shouldn’t be able to touch the living.*

*I pause for a moment to think.* “ Maybe we should try to break them apart from this fight?”

*I turn to Pearl.* “yeah, I’m fine, I just zoned out a little.” * My overthinking of the joke isn’t a serious problem, so why bother telling her about it? I turn back to the fight, my mood lifted back up as I see the Karens trying to claw at each other. I burst out laughing again.*

Alr, Gn

* I was relieved when my beliefs were proved wrong. I definitely did not want to stay stuck in a black hole, being repeatedly crushed but not dying as I had unlimited lives. I looked back at the white hole with amazement after we passed through. I didn’t know the Galaxy’s name that they had mentioned, but I guessed that it was just a nearby galaxy. I was just looking around, to see what surrounded me.*

*I was thinking more like being constantly crushed under the force of the black hole, which will make it impossible to escape, but I think the other options would be better to believe.* “Interesting.” * I say, trying to engage in conversation more.*

*My eyes widened after hearing that we’re going in a black hole. Anything could happen. But then I was sort of relieved when I heard we basically had immortality. We still won’t know what we will witness but I knew I was still a bit scared, because I didn’t know what would happen, no one did in fact.*

*Confusion comes back to me. Well that came out of nowhere.* “And.. why are we going to space exactly?”

* I struggled to hold in my laugh. I was concerned, but it was still kind of funny nonetheless.* “ Are you alright?” * I say, you can clearly hear now through my voice that I was trying to hold in my laugh*

“Oh, alright, that’s cool.” *I relaxed, relieved from the bit of stress of the confusion that I still had while trying to think up a question off the spot.*
