Since this community is used to dealing with...odd relationship questions I thought I would ask one.

We all know that the community has a habit of cutting people off after a while. Sometimes they return with their memories and other times they return with a completely different set of memories. Sometimes they don't return at all.

My question is, if you were cut off from a person you really, truly cared about how can you find the strength to move on? Or should you even move on at all? Should you keep hoping that maybe someday they'll come back and you can just pick up where you left off?

Isn't thinking like that unrealistic? I'd like to believe it could happen, but I don't know if I can.

...I think anyone would hope for a good resolution, whether the community cut them off or they simply drifted apart normally. Sometimes one moves on, sometimes the pain caused by it seems as if it may never heal.

I wish that I could answer you properly, but my case is a special one--were I to be cut off from that person, I would most likely die in a very literal sense.

Literally? But why?

I am neither human nor am I technically alive. Being kept in this world means my existence is tied to that of another person, and through this community that connection was made with someone close to me.

Should the community disconnect him and erase his memories, I have no reason to doubt our contract could be neutralized as well.

...Wow. That's...a really good reason to want him to stay.

I mean, not that just caring about them isn't a good reason.

[croibhristeoir]

To say the least. It's something of a complex situation.

It certainly adds a whole new layer of difficulty to things.
