Gods?

[ The name, and Ed calling it a personal hell, and now this stuff about gods... he's starting to sense a theme. ]

I guess I get that. It's not the place, but the people in it.

[alchemyfreak]

[Oh, there's DEFINITELY A THEME CISCO.]

The ones that brought us there. They called themselves gods, said we were there to redeem ourselves for our sins. Each one had their own idea about how we were supposed to do that.

Yeah, everyone really needed each other in that place. It feels.. almost like I'm betraying them not being there to help.

Soooooooooo that's all massively fucked up.

[ Cisco is having a renewed appreciation for this place, even if there are stupid amnesia spores or whatever. ]

Ever hear of a thing called survivor's guilt?

[alchemyfreak]

[You can say that again, Cisco. Ed's just going to grin in response. He gets it, really.]

It's more than that. A lot of people relied on me there, but... Most of those people were pulled out by the time I left, anyway. I just miss them. It's stupid, but I miss what I had there.

[There was a sense of family he'd never had before or since, an actual community of people that were close, because they really had no other choice.]

[franciscoramon]

I get that. It's nice to be needed.

[ One of the reasons Cisco had decided to stay here was realizing that he wasn't really needed back in Central City - at least, not more than he was needed, here. ]

And it's not stupid to miss a place, even if you would never want to go back there.

[alchemyfreak]

[Have a small smirk at that reply.]

'Even if you never want to go back' doesn't really qualify though, not for me. I would have if the portal made it possible.

Unless you're talking from personal experience.
