Not really. I knew about the shipping chart the Lemons did, and I did want to mess around from the backstage, but then everything happened so much! Kind of makes me sound boring, huh?
[ if this was confessed in the log then i missed it while dw was glitching tf out on me :meowno: ]
No, I don't think so. You joined us a pretty busy time, so it makes sense you'd be focused on all that instead. [ a beat. ] You do seem like the type who'd like getting into trouble sometimes, though.
I can imagine. The good thing about time being frozen is knowing you don't have to worry so much while you're here, but... it's still better to be with who you care about.
But if things really worked out, everyone will get their wish and go home tomorrow, so there's probably nothing to worry about anyway.
That... depends on when we're talking. [ he takes a deep breath. ] When I first signed on, it was to find my older brother and bring him home. But now that I know he's gone, I just want my people to be able to live in peace, without being hunted just for being what we are.
To be honest, it's something Mother and I suspected for a long time now. No one ever returns from the Abyss, after all. I'd just hoped that maybe it would be different this time, after... [ trails off...
anyway, shakes his head. ]
After thinking about it for a while, I decided it's probably better to focus on the family I still have. There aren't many of us left, so I really don't want to lose more.
Thank you. I think I'll be okay. If these wishes work out, there'll be nothing more to worry about. And even if that's not the compensation they promised, I'll just stay on and keep working until I earn it.
[ but that's probably enough of a tragic backstory from him for tonight. ]
...What about you? What're hoping to get out of this?
There was a terrible incident that happened back when I was a kid that wiped out the entirety of the old capital, and I want to find the truth behind what really caused it. If it were just another Hollow disaster I'd likely never bother with it, but our teacher—our... guardian, basically—has been blamed for it ever since it happened. Even now, Wise and I are still trying to find out how to clear her name.
Well... We believe it's a false accusation, but we found some small clues recently that didn't look favorable. Honestly, we might have to consider the possibility it is true, but... There's not enough to say for sure, and we've already poured so much into getting this far. I have to know what happened, no matter what.
I can understand that. It-- It was the same with how I learned about my brother. [ being worried, perhaps even a little afraid, of the truth, but needing to know anyway, no matter how devastating it could be... it's familiar. ] I think you'll get your answer... and I hope it's the one you're hoping for.
You've taken most things with stride here, no matter what they threw at you... even when you died, you didn't let it keep you down for long. I think you'll be alright.
...And if you're not, maybe we take a page from the fans' book and figure out how to break reality to come give you a hand.

Hmmm... I don't think I'm that shy or anything. It's hard to narrow it down on the spot! Why, are you curious?
no subject
I understand. But yeah, of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?

But you probably miss your family already, don't you? It'll be nice to go home after all this.

Oh. I'm... sorry to hear that about your brother.
