[ claude will receive a message on their phs telling him to head to the bridge!
assuming he does so, he'll find fox there, leaning on the railing as they look out to the river. as he approaches, they properly stand back up to turn and look at him, smiling politely. ]
What can I do for you?

(He waves,)
... It really worked. (Wishing, that is. Color him surprised.) Some answers, hopefully.
Thanks for meeting me, by the way.
(And while he doesn't exactly bow, he'll raise a hand to his chest in gratitude.)
First things first... what are you and your friends doing this week?Keeping busy?

(GUILTY....)
That's too bad. (Truly, a shame. Ahem,) I'm sure the person responsible learned a valuable lesson from the experience.
(And won't do it again!!)
Anyway, I was wondering... how much of this is, well, real? (Hear him out!!) I mean, this is all pretty fantastic to take in and if I didn't know any better, I would think this was all one really elaborate dream.
But there are some things that don't make sense. Files filled with nothing but blank papers and... computers? "Computers" that don't work. Not to mention an entire castle we can't seem to reach... It feels like some things are just here for show.

Trust me, I wonder each day if I'm having a very lucid dream.
[ they really do not disagree that this all seems fantastical. ]
Most of the setting [ they gesture around them ] isn't our doing, so there's only so much we know. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it really is just for show, manifested from people's memories of their homes.

Correct. It's my first time seeing anything like that. Actually, the same goes for a lot of things here.
(Microwaves, for example.)
Next, you've already said you don't know how long we'll be here and you don't know how long we have. You claim you arrived here just a few days before us... did you really give up your memories for us? For people you hadn't even met yet?
(Of course, they'd answered it enough times the day before,)
... How does it feel?

Oh, I wouldn't be so quick to put it in such a grandiose way. For all you know, I could've done it for a taste of power.
[ though their tone is maybe a bit too frivolous for that to be a serious suggestion. who knows? their hand on the bridge railing, fox taps their index finger against its surface. tap. tap.
their tone doesn't quite lose its upbeat nature, though it's more thoughtful. ]
... Strange, really. I suppose the irony of such drastic amnesia is that it actually makes it harder to notice what's gone. After all, you notice most what you're "missing" when something else is present to emphasize its absence. Isn't that what sparks loneliness, envy, etc.?
I couldn't begin to guess what I've lost--good or bad--so I don't know what to feel about it.

Nothing wrong with that.
(He's not going to judge anyone just for doing what they have to to seize a little bit of power. Well, depending on the methods, of course.
As Fox speaks, Claude is quiet, thoughtful, and listening. It makes sense. To suddenly lose most (all?) of your memories would have to feel like something. What would it be like waking up with no idea who you were? Where you were from or what your dreams were?
... It makes him uncomfortable and he shifts slightly from one foot to the next,)
It's a strange position but I don't envy you one bit. Is there anything you remember at all? Or is it really just all gone?
(Is the same thing going to happen to them eventually?)

Nope. Pretty sure I'm an ordinary human?
Tell you what: if you can correctly guess within three tries, I'll do you a favour. [ they say as if they couldn't do a favour (see: taako's cake) without putting conditions on it, but you know. ] Within my means, of course.
