[ there is a stretched period of silence, where he's trying to school his expression into something more neutral. but he can't quite manage it completely. ]

Yes. I'm good.

[chevaleros]

[ She is quiet a moment, mostly to give him some time, partly because it's hard to know the right thing to say. ]

...You don't seem like the kind of person who wants pity. But for what it's worth, I'm sorry for what you lost. Whoever that may be, and however you may have lost them once.

[ At the other end of a muzzle, maybe? She won't needle him about it. ]

[ there's a pause, almost like he's not even going to give her a response.

but. ]

I don't remember who it was.

[ the thing he forgot. ]

[chevaleros]

[ whether or not he's being honest, it doesn't really matter. ]

...So that could have something to do with why you're here.

[dotcom]

Most likely. It's the only thing that really makes sense.

[chevaleros]

All the same, it must've been terrible to affect you so.

It was bold of you to face that man as you did.

[ maybe sasazuka was harsh in how he handled it, but she's not one to criticize over something like that. ]

[ sometimes you need to break someone to get anything out of them. it's fine. ]

... if you let yourself be stopped at everything you might fear, then you won't get anywhere. [ ... ] As long as you can do what you have to do, you can deal with your feelings afterwards.

[chevaleros]

True enough, though I do not think many have a rein on their feelings as you do.

[ herself perhaps included. ]

...I don't know if it's cruel to wish that you remember. But if they were important to you, I hope you do.

[dotcom]

... I'd rather know than not. If it's important enough for me to be here.

[ even if it hurts as much as it does, having something like that taken from you feels a little violating. he doesn't want to not know what has made him... him. ]
