We both just awkwardly stood there in the hall, what do you say to your ex? Almost s lifetime passed, we're both different people now.
Years of self forced therapy had lowered my smoking from those massive 50 euro zigs to the 4 buck packs and to only a few cans of beer a day. Besides my heritage made me immune to all kinds intoxication, I don't feel the urge to smoke or drink anymore.
Marie also changed, probably took anger management, the Marie I used to know wouldn't have stopped trying to rip my head off until she passed out from exhaustion. It happened before.
Could we make it work again? Maybe in a fewer dream.
There's no point at pointing at each other anymore, there's no problem between us anymore. There's only regret left.
> This dialogue is actually important so I'm going to translate it
"Marie, ich werde ehrlich sein: ich habe keinen Plan für die Zukunft." (Marie, I'm gonna be honest: I have no plan for the future.)
"Ich weiß nicht was auf uns zukommen könnte, ich weiß es einfach nicht..." (I don't know what's going to come, I just don't know.)
"Uns?" (Us?)
A rotten and disgusting feeling spread through my gut, I started to feel sick. I never get sick.
Who did I think I was to put her through that? God I feel disgusting. How can I even live with myself?
"Sehr vieles wird sich ändern, aber wahrscheinlich nichts fürs gute.", (A lot of things are going to change, probably not good things.)
"Und worauf willst du hinaus?" (And what are you trying to say?)

"Marie, das ist meine Verabschiedung." (This actually doesn't have a English translation that doesn't stick to the original context.)
"Also werde ich dich nicht wieder sehen?" (So I won't see you again?)
"Willst du mich wieder sehen?" (Do you want to see me again?)
"..."
"..."
Great job Alex! That's one way to fuck up a talk with one of the few people who actually loved you! God, I should just die in a ditch.
"Max."
"Ja?" (Yes?)
"Ich will stärker werden." (I want to be stronger.)
I thought for a moment, she could definitely learn blind mantis kung-fu or benga since they're both martial arts meant to be utilised in a female body. A woman would have a advantage in these martial arts over men as a men would have advantage in rugby.
"Bist du dir sicher? Nach einem Punkt wirst anfangen deine Wirte zu verlieren." (Are you sure? After a certain point you will start to loose your feminine virtues.)
"Max. Ich. Will. Stärker sein." (Max. I. Want. To. Be. Stronger.)
Is it really a good idea to point someone with such anger issues into the direction of strength? She probably wants to be stronger so she can get the shit beat out of people without me.

Well this is a problem.
Usually Marie doesn't hear Költ out until the full group is assembled. Költ, Marie, Sandro, Simon, Eric and Elena.
But if they clear out their issues early then Marie won't take Maddriks offer which means the hero party won't form.
The hero party is probably my only chance at ending my curse.
Költ really is a piece of work, each and every being he interacts with are realesed from puppets of fate which turns my class obsolete. What's the point of knowing the future if it keeps changing?

"Stell sie dir so schwer wie möglich vor, Marie."
"Aber die sind nur zwei Kilo."
"Genau Marie, diese zwei Kilo werden deine schlimmsten Gegner sein."
I showed her multiple excersises she can do with the lightweight dummbells. I don't want to give her anything heavy since I'm planning on teaching her my personal training technique, that technique can be dangerous even cripple someone if your muscles are overdevloped. It needs a slow start or else you might break your spine.
"Ich geh dann."
"Ja."

He's late.
I watched as the brute came back dragging a pine tree attached to that pine tree is a human-snake kind of abomination. Like a naga but not really, it's dead either way.
Next time I should specifically tell him to hurry and not get distracted by random critters.
"Join your sister, dinner is ready."
With a loud thud the tree trunk hit the ground and he somewhat eagerly went inside.
After he went inside I took a closer look at that snake creature, its still warm.
