... I'll trade you what I've lost in exchange for what you've gained? I don't want to ask you to talk about something personal if it's uncomfortable...
Okay. I don't mind talking about it... I've only spoken about it with her, and we didn't really linger too much on it.
[ but hm... ]
I was with a group of people... there were four of us in total in it. We were talking about how we were stuck in a time loop. We kept repeating the same two weeks, over and over, for thousands of times.
The loop itself was actually pretty mundane. It was summer vacation, and we were repeating the final two weeks of it. It seems like... it was a specific person who was causing the loops. She was unhappy about something, and was unconsciously causing it to happen.
I guess we couldn't figure out what she was unhappy about to break out of it.
.... perhaps in the sense that there's not much I could tell you about it.
[he looks almost - sheepish?]
.... but I'm a little lucky. Even if my personal memories of her are gone... she wrote a memoir in the castle, addressed to someone. So... I remember what she wrote in that book.
[ . . . . his expression turns thoughtful then, and he'll take a scone for himself even if he can't fucking taste it. but it's something to do to fill the time as he thinks.]
... an elegant woman who took a burden who was placed on her with grace - and loved her family with her whole heart. She wished better for the world than what it was, and seemed to take on quite a bit of blame even when she didn't need to. Still, everything she did... was out of a hope to improve the lives of the people around her.
[ . . . ]
I think I've always been proud to be her son. I wish only I could honor her memory by keeping it with me. But for now... I suppose this will do.
Fufu, no. I remember him very clearly. He was a very tall, very strong-looking man with dark hair and a very serious face.
[he sounds so fond]
He cut a very striking and gallant figure! He was regarded as the strongest soldier in the country's history until recent years -
.... so I suppose it's not particularly surprising that people consider me more similar to my mother than my father, at least in terms of the figure that I present.

[it seems like an unnecessary complaint
though - ]
Was the one that you got back from working with Hilda good? I wanted to see if you were alright after that as well.
no subject
I... am not sure if I can see that it was good. It was more confusing, than anything.
no subject
Was it...?

no subject
he raises his brows at that, surprised. he'd talked about the possibility of it with sora, but the idea of someone actually going through it....]
Oh.... That's surprising. What happened in the time loop?
no subject
I guess we couldn't figure out what she was unhappy about to break out of it.
no subject
Ah... is that as far as your memory could tell you? So you don't know if you got out of it...
no subject
I don't... I was pretty upset when we were discussing it. I was crying a lot.
[ TO THE SURPRISE OF NO ONE, ]
no subject
his expression falls a little bit at that, growing concerned]
I'm sorry to hear that... It's a hard thing for me to wrap my head around - I can imagine it would be even more difficult to live through it.
no subject
[ ... ]
It's strange. I thought I came from somewhere pretty normal, but I guess not.
no subject
Well... I guess you wouldn't know until a memory tells you otherwise, right?
That's a bit disquieting but... I suppose you do know more about yourself now.
no subject
[ they shake their head. ]
What about you? If you're okay with sharing.
no subject
[he tilts his head a bit]
I think that I've forgotten my mother.
no subject
they're quiet. ]
I wouldn't say that's less interesting.
no subject
[he looks almost - sheepish?]
.... but I'm a little lucky. Even if my personal memories of her are gone... she wrote a memoir in the castle, addressed to someone. So... I remember what she wrote in that book.
It's not perfect... but it's something.
no subject
[ it must be a little odd, to know of someone like your mother through a memoir.
then again, even in a more mundane setting, that actually isn't that uncommon, is it? ]
From the memoir... what does she seem like?
no subject
... an elegant woman who took a burden who was placed on her with grace - and loved her family with her whole heart. She wished better for the world than what it was, and seemed to take on quite a bit of blame even when she didn't need to.

no subject
She sounds very lovely. [ ... ] But she does sound a little like you.
no subject
seems a little surprised at that, considering]
... mm, I suppose I've been told I inherited her looks more than my father's....?
[how would rabbit know this, soo-won]
no subject
Was he not blonde?
no subject
[he sounds so fond]
He cut a very striking and gallant figure! He was regarded as the strongest soldier in the country's history until recent years -

[him not bara]
no subject
[ please don't agree to quickly. [
no subject
not even offended he's just laughing more at the quick agreement]
My, not even a moment to hesitate...
no subject
So-sorry!
no subject
Fufu, I'm just teasing.
Though I think it would be more fun if I could see your expression under the mask.... I hope it's alright if I joke a bit.
