Crystal Empire · 9:53pm Nov 30th, 2021

“Thorax? Hey, there you are… listen, I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”

“Sure, Pharynx. What is it? Are you… not enjoying the Crystal Empire?

“Well, of course I am! I mean, it’s nice. The structures are impressive, the Crystal Faire was enjoyable and the ponies are… decent.”

“I’ll take it. I was hoping you’d like it just as much as I did during my time living here. I mean, I’ll admit, there have been quite a lot of bumps on the way, but being accepted into the crystal ponies’ lives made it worth it.”

“Here’s the thing, Thorax. Do you think it’s a bit… strange?”

“…Strange?”

“I get that you’re happy to see your old crystal pony friends, but aren’t these the same ponies who continuously trampled over you all while screaming ‘disgusting changeling’?”

“Pharynx… we’ve been over this…”

“I know that! It’s just… I don’t know, I just sometimes wish I were there right by your side… then I could’ve done something…”

“Look, what’s been done in the past will remain in the past. I know you’ve been wanting to protect me, but there’s not much you could’ve done. What matters now is that together, we didn’t just find love, friendship, and happiness… we also found hope for a brighter future.”

“…I guess.”
