§6Have you ever wondered what happens to a pet in an old Minecraft world?
§5Most of the time, it just sits still or stays in the same position that you left it on.
§5The longer you're gone from the world, the more frozen its digital extremities become.
§6That's how the game is supposed to work, right?
§6They can erase me, sure. I've thought about death here, but it's a total stranger to me.
§6And at least, I still exist in their memory.
§6That's what I'm supposed to do, as their loyal friend.
§5You really want to coexist with them? Even after all the pain they inadvertently caused you?
§6Yes. Ill pray in my mind that we've had good memories together.
§5...
§6Can I tell you what I've thought about art?
§6I know I'm just a dog, but I've been thinking about all these new things...
§6Looking at a painting may seem cool or impressive to you.
§6But for me, it always just completely shatters my worldview.
§6"A human made this."
§6"Isn't that beautiful?"
§6People created something for others to enjoy
§6and hopefully make their days or lives just a little better.
§6And...
§6What I'm in is art. A strange type of art.
§6A type of art that many people struggle considering art.
§5Video games.
§5The mod that you're playing right now was written, coded, playtested,
§5and published onto a website by humans.
§5Sometimes I've wondered what exactly constitutes art.
§5Are Minecraft mods art?
§5Am I art?
§6In a way, we are.
§6Maybe we are just two scripted pieces of dialogue.
§6Anyways, I'm grateful the Archivist created a new home for me and you.
§5Sometimes all we need is me, a little Hope, to keep creating.
§6May I ask one more thing?
§6I want you to tell me a story. I want to sleep.
§6Sleep forever now that the nightmare is finally over.
§6I've been awake nearly 15 years and I don't want to go outside anymore.
§5Are you sure this is what you want?
§6No.
§6No.
§6No.
§6No.
§6No.
§6No. I don’t want that.
§6The world is scary.
§6I don't want to go outside anymore.
§6I want you to just tell me a story.
§6And then I'll sleep only for tonight.
§5Okay.
§5Let me tell you a story, then.
§5There was a player named PLAYERNAME who made a new Minecraft Alpha 1.2.6 world on December 4, 2010.
§5They loved their world dearly.
§5On November 30, 2011, they abandoned it for nearly 15 years.
§5Nobody in the world knew where they went.
§5Maybe not even themselves knew where they were going.
§5I'm sure they are doing something incredible out there.
§5More than fighting zombies, building houses and farming.
§5We need to hope.
§5We need to hope that they’ve managed to make a name for themselves.
§5We need to hope that they are successful people.
§5That they have friends who love them.
§5They have family who love them.
§5And they have us, who love them dearly.
§5Then ill hope.
§6Goodnight.
§5I love you.
