Memoir, that's a beautiful name. Thank you for reaching out.

[ that's what people say, right? when condolences are given. ]

Yes, I think that will help, so I'll go.

[ just for the chance of another glitch.

and... the vaguest hint of regret: ]




I'm sorry if I'm not quite myself. And I hope you will talk to me again when I am.

[murrmoire]

It's alright. Nobody is really themselves after losing a part of them like this.

Let's try to assemble a party. I think the more that join us, the better.

[tinged]

[ that sounds like... ]

Oh. I'm sorry.

Alright. I'll wait at the gate and ask.

[murrmoire]

Sorry? For what?

[tinged]

For also having lost a part of yourself.

[murrmoire]

...How did you know?

[tinged]

You had the words for it.

[murrmoire]

Maybe so, but I don't want to make this about me.

[tinged]

Someone once asked me if it helps to worry about someone else. I

I think it helps.

So if you want, you can tell me things.

And if you don't, that's OK, too.

cw child death

[murrmoire]

It didn't quite happen like this.

My best friend died in a car accident when we were kids. We were playing basketball, and things just...happened. It was my fault entirely. His sister and I haven't been the same ever since.

[ ... ]

I hope that you're able to heal, tabibito. And I hope that Mithrun will be okay, even if we don't know where he is in the real world right now.

[tinged]

You were a child. How could you carry the weight of someone's life?

Yes, I hope the same.

[murrmoire]

I was being careless and breaking the rules. I guess it's just what kids do, but the guilt's still there. Still, I'm managing alright. All I can do is make sure I protect the people that are still around me now.

Thanks for listening. You really didn't have to offer, but I appreciate it.

[tinged]

And now you know. What rules you can break and what rules you shouldn’t.

You’re welcome.




I’ll listen anytime. If you need.

[murrmoire]

It's okay. I think you need it more than I do, right now.

I'm on my way to the area right now. I look forward to meeting you. :)

[tinged]

[ …do they? ]

Yes. Yes, I think I feel the same. See you soon.
