"Calano, do you enjoy music? My... limited understanding of various human cultures suggests that it is usually a quintessential part of wedding celebrations."

Despite nearly going unconcious from the level of emotional backfeed, TAAron smiled. Nothing even went horribly wrong! He felt a relief that was his own.

As the ceremony began, TAAron realized that he had forgotten a wedding present. Unsure of what to do, he thought through what he had on him. There were just a few small metal objects for Pushing and Pulling in an emergency. Nothing suitable. Except... no, I can't. I've still not recovered. How long has it been now? Five years... He jolted. To the day! Two bracelets sat in his shirt pocket. Normally, he had them in a hidden compartment in his bag, but the bag would have been far too out of place at the wedding. They pulsated with a faint white glow, a crystal with the appearance of glass and the weight of iron. Stacis, it was called. The last of it. A tear welled up in his eye, and not just for the sake of the soon-to-be newlyweds.

Do you too have an aversion to questions? Also, how do you postulate that the answer to my question is so ambiguous?

Does anyone really know anything in the end? Isn't everything we believe just based off of truths that are never entirely certain?

TAAron sat in the audience, smiling broadly. Hopefully this all goes well. He could feel the tension and excitement in the room all around him. Unfortunately, he was reminded of less pleasant things as his ears began ringing. As long as I don't go crazy or black out again.

"Well, I pretty much began dying and then was stopped, and now my soul is severely damaged. If you want to hear the whole story, keep in mind that it's a pretty long one."

"Not any better, unfortunately." That was technically the truth. He was feeling worse. "Lovely to meet you, Insa." He reached out for a handshake.

TAAron waited in his room, wondering when the wedding would start. Hopefully there was some sort of broadcast or something. Was he already supposed to be somewhere? I should probably start heading over. With great difficulty, he stood up and began walking down the hallway to the main entrance. Hopefully this event would take his mind off of some things.

But how is that? Is it not true that we thrive in limitation? If there are no boundaries, what reason is there to push?

I'll play!

"I... sorry, we'll need four things." He frowned. "I can't remeber them somehow. We just talked about this just minutes ago. @Nameless, what were they again?"

"Yes, probably. So who is this Rightful One you mentioned? Does she have anything to do with... your situation?"

"Calano and Emma, I believe, are getting married in the clinic tomorrow."

Two perfectly good things to like! 7/10

Decomission it as soon as possible. WWYDIYF a bag of holding in your pocket?

Very visually appealing, nice quote. Going to have to dock a point for torturing poor innocent readers like myself. 9/10

Agreed. If they do it right, they can work with the community for a genuinely good update that isn't disappointing to expectations they set. They're already on track with that, given the snapshots coming in only a few days. Assuming they update around the same time next year as this year, that gives a lot of time for discussion, feedback, and then more features being announced and worked on. I think that may have been because there was a lot of other stuff announced when a lot of people mostly just wanted to know about 1.20, and because the update wasn't overhyped this time around. We just got a list of nice features, and a promise of more to come. Not as revolutionary or satisfying as previous announcements have been, even if it is, in my opinion, a very good approach to take.

He woke up, taking shallow breaths. "Thanks. Did you call me... halfade? Do you know about my condition? Is there anything we can do to fix it that won't most likely result in death?"
