[that's fair, throné also seems a bit dazed. she just leans against whatever surface is closest, blinking away the last sight - the puddle of blood, the little girl angrily watching her leave.]

... It's... [well, maybe it's not fine, but whatever, it's out there now!]

[psynchroneyes]

[ ...

Carefully, Mizuki asks: ]

That was... from your past?

[ and not some messed up dream? ]

[naeddre]

[she rubs at her face.]

... Yes. [she says warily, watching mizuki.] Not so distant past.

[psynchroneyes]

[ damn. ]

She sounded vile.

[naeddre]

... She hated me the most.

[exhales, slow.]

So yes. Vile is a good word. I would do it again, if I had to.

[psynchroneyes]

[ That little girl's reaction in the memory, though... That was rough, and unfortunately, Mizuki finds herself understanding her. ]

But you won't have to—you travel with Temenos now, don't you?

[naeddre]

[looks at my hands in having played some of aisom]

Yes. I have been, for a while. [...] He was there, in that memory. Not far, waiting with the rest of the travelers. Just in case.

[psynchroneyes]

[ also gazes ]

—Oh. Good. I know that's something I wouldn't want to let a friend go into on their own.

[naeddre]

[a little nod.]

We all do that for each other. Each one of us has had backup for when we face the worst of the worst on our journeys. [...] He's your roommate, right? Temenos.

[psynchroneyes]

[ At that, Mizuki offers a small smile. ]

Yep—and he's not so bad of one after all! Is he always that much of a gentleman?

[naeddre]

[a beat, and then she splutters out a laugh.]

Gentleman?

[psynchroneyes]

—Uh-oh! Am I wrong?

[naeddre]

Very. But I'll allow him his little delusions.

[psynchroneyes]

Heh—maybe he can't help it around me!
