Practical Philosophy, Thursday

"I realize it's been something of a summer," Ender said lightly, "And that doesn't leave us with a great deal of space for reflection."

But the sun was shining. He'd even brought out sodas and cupcakes for the occasion, though the usual staples of water and sandwiches were also available.

A pause.

That turned into a silence.

"Like, some of the worlds were sad and some were dangerous and most of them I wouldn't want to stay in forever, but I liked getting to see them. I... I really did not like last week. Even just being a toy was weird and unsettling, but everything else on top of it..."

Nina trailed off.

"I don't think, like, I'll ever forget it," she said, with a bit of a shrug. "Okay is, like, a strong word????????????????"

Nina considered that.

"I mean, like, I guess 'continues to exist' is more than one word but also, not, like un-right..................."
