out of curiosity: would you pay to cuddle or nap with a furry animal, if you had the option? if you didn't have to do any cleanup and you're assured they won't have rabies or anything like that.

i've met enough people who seem to want physical comfort of this type, so i thought i might ask.

[ this is a sincere enquiry, please respect his post! ]

It's not. But it's the fucked up world we've inherited. Gotta make do with what you got.

It wasn't. But the corporations ruined the world and people got complacent. Who fucking cares if the animals are gone, the fields are barren and the water's polluted? Get rich or die tryin'. Fuck and kill your way to the top for the privilege of ignoring it.

Even destroyed this Tokyo is better than Night City. I don't think the Tokyo back home would be this green. Why I never bothered going — same shit, different continent.

[ it's the fucked up world we've inherited. isn't that the truth, and not just for megumi's home as it would seem. ]

there is so much more to life worth living for than just gaining more money and power. on that we agree. but corporations can still be brought down, just like any other institution. they're made of men.

men can be killed.

[ this got dark for a second. ]

we could go different places here, if you want? i've travelled around japan quite a bit too, so if you want to check out the other cities we have access to, i could probably help navigate around the districts.

Tell me about it. [ Hadn't finished scraping Adam Smasher off his knuckles when more opponents presented themselves. People can be killed—but a part of him, that gentle boy raised in an ungentle place, wishes it wasn't so. Imagine all the things they could accomplish if they stopped fighting for five seconds and worked together instead.

Pollyanna notions about world peace. Capitalism has to fall first. ]

I was actually more interested in the roads between them. Grew up hearing about the legendary mountain passes — touge. Always wanted to race on them.

Gunma's probably the closest.
