NARRATOR: my dream self never woke up, and i was never able to accomplish the plans my grandfather laid out for me

NARRATOR: and from there, my path continued to branch out

NARRATOR: echoes of failed lives stemmed off of mine stretched on and on through the JADEGARDEN, but i remained the only version to find success

NARRATOR: i have studied other jades and their lives over and over

NARRATOR: and with the help of the rift, i was able to see all of it ad infinitum

NARRATOR: isolation haunts all jades

NARRATOR: our lives always end up so completely solitary that it almost feels like a statistical anomaly

NARRATOR: or a force so strong that there is no way to fight it

NARRATOR: i began to understand the root of what exactly has ripped our lives apart by allowing myself to see there is no point

NARRATOR: we need to embrace our loneliness as ineffable

NARRATOR: a faultless life where it has been completely accepted is the only way for a jade, a true jade, to be at peace

NOTJADE: and you think thats supposed to be you?

NARRATOR: i know it is

NOTJADE: all because you "embrace isolation"?

NOTJADE: i dont care if you have seen every single life that a jade lives!

NOTJADE: people are not built to be alone

NOTJADE: no matter what they say!

NOTJADE: you say youve been alone, but you havent been!

NOTJADE: you have all of these jades around you all the time!!!

NOTJADE: every single one of them loves their friends and enjoys their time together, even if it hurts or sucks

NOTJADE: even the evil witch jade cared :(((

NOTJADE: why else would she keep all of her memories in tact, even when she gets her ass kicked?

NOTJADE: or why dream jade made up a new john to play with!

NOTJADE: or why that poor jade was so dedicated to trying to understand why her friends were so upset!

NOTJADE: its messed up, but there is no jade who is free from wanting to be with people!

NOTJADE: especially you!

NARRATOR: enough
