Torpid Void

Louis
"Fascinating," he muttered. And also mildly terrifying. The longer I'm here the more unreal I become? I need to return to Em. "So, how would one go about doing this?" 

Ace
"Uhm... I don't know... my best advice would be to make Aerow your mentor, but that could end terribly..." Ace muttered.

Louis
Louis bit back a grin. That could be fun. "Alright, thanks for your help. If you haven't figured it out already, I'm just going to cause a lot of trouble, so you may not want to stick around me."

Ace
"You-" Ace cut himself off, not wanting to ask that question. He deserves more than I do... stop being selfish. "Nevermind."

Louis
He looked curiously at Ace. "I what? Oh, I almost forgot to ask - in what ways could this go wrong and people could be hurt?"

Ace
Ace looked down at the ground. "The worst thing that could happen is you guys return to your homes and we get... set free..."

Louis
"And what does that mean?" Louis leaned back in his chair. This could be complicated. But hey, I've done hard things before.

Ace
Ace shrugged. "People who are born here are just another fragment of Aerow's form. If you take her form away, we get taken away. We wouldn't die- we'd just be... different."

Louis
"Hm, okay. Is there a way to restructure the way society works here without taking her form away?" And, hopefully, making it so people aren't forced here. 

Ace
"Nope," Ace mumbled, his voice drained with hopelessness.

Louis
He fell into a thoughtful quiet for a little while. "What exactly happens to you, and people like you, when that happens? In what way are you 'different'?"

Ace
"We'd just be the shadows reality sees in every day life. A lack of something." Ace tapped his feet together.

Louis
"Wait, hold on. I don't mean destroying this place. It'll still be here." If that's still the case, then this is a game of who's reality is stolen from them. Who suffers most. It's sick, all around. 

Ace
Ace raised his eyebrows. "If you says so. My parents distorted this place before they left, which is why it's possible for people to get out. But we suffer a lot because of it."

Louis
"How do you suffer?" Louis thought about what Ace said. It was possible to get out. But then again, that didn't keep people from being pulled here against their will. It didn't stop the ridiculous, senseless rules.
