[ Ludger's just been taking stock of this new place which... definitely doesn't feel like a dream! but. is it? because for a moment, he swears he could hear a faint humming. ]
[ maybe someone left one of the DVD players on or something. he'll go looking for the source of the sound! ]
[ it's called information gathering??? which, you know, is a normal thing to do when waking up in a foggy who knows where expectedly?
but anyway, he glances up at hearing his name, not entirely expecting it, because huh. so he is here, is he? ]
... Hm? What's up? Need something?

That's really all you're going to say?
[ why are you like this ]
Not a "hello, Ludger," not a "what are you doing here?" Nothing?

[ a mild, easy shrug, the motion converting easily to his reshelving of whatever book he'd been going through. ]
I imagine the answer to the second question would be about the same as what mine is.
But you're right. Hello, Ludger. Can't say I really expected to see you here. You been holding up all right?
[ Wherever here is. ]

[ Wherever here is. ]
I wasn't expecting to see you here either, which is why I'm wondering what is your answer?
[ ... ]
I've been alright, though. This place makes me uneasy, but it's not unbearable.

... It's a little like a fractured dimension.
[ there's a certain heaviness to the air, the Dread that lays upon Ludger that's reminiscent of it. ]
Did you see anything?

Nothing any more out of place than the rest of this already is, if that's what you mean.
[ Which, all things considered. ]
Quite the limited space we have to ourselves if that's the case, though. Unless you've managed to make it further in any one direction than I have?
[ ... ]
What's the last thing you remember from before all this, anyway?

I end up looping around, yeah.
[ Ludger turns away, his gaze falling on the spines of the books. hmmm, "The Rise and Fall of Asamando,"......
yeah, he has no idea where any of these titles are referring to. ]
Elle. You?

Elle. You?
... You'd just headed off for work not too long ago.
[ "The Rise and Fall of Asamando," "Be a Big Shot: How to Stop Holding Yourself Back and Cut Your Strings", and ... honestly, why are some of these books next to each other? ]
Of course, then you stopped back by, like you forgot something.

You know me, forgetful as always.

I'm sorry I couldn't choose you too.

I'm sorry I couldn't choose you too.
Oh?
[ Careful, careful. It's not what Ludger actually said, of course, but saying something like that comes dangerously close to saying that your resolve was...
Well. As the proctor of that particular exam, he supposes any deficiency would be on him, wouldn't it. ]
The way I remember it, I was a dead man walking anyway. Wasn't I?
If you look at it from that angle, the right choice was obvious.

[ come on, bro, seriously? ]
... Do you have to say it like that?
... Do you have to say it like that?
Just because I killed you doesn't mean I can't mourn you, Julius. If anything, I'd say it's the opposite.
[ maybe it's all terrible and Ludger just feels bad, and only time will heal that! ]

... She's okay. Well- she will be okay. She just... needs time.
... She's okay. Well- she will be okay. She just... needs time.
I'll bet, after all of what she's been through. But that's good to hear.
[ If she's really going to be fine, then maybe everything was worth it, somehow. Elle surviving implies they caught up to Bisley in time ... implies they might have done something, at the Gates of Judgment. ]
... So. What now?

What do you mean? We've got a whole bunch of... things happening.
