... it might be. Miki was someone who was important to him. But I still don't know how I fit into it. Despite what that memory implies, I didn't actually want to go out of my way to kill her.
[ if he did, she would have been dead much sooner! ]
[The way he just automatically is thinking the same thing that these brackets are saying.]
I'm sure it would have caused more trouble than it was worth. [That's a man who just lies on the floor cradling Miki's head?? Abnormal behavior. He also wouldn't want to kill someone who'd invoke that sort of reaction.]
Who knows, in that case. Maybe something changed that made the net benefit of killing her worth more than the loss?
We met at a center for children. His parents were always traveling abroad, and I was an orphan. He was the first person I met there. And then one day a woman just came by and took me away. She said she knew me, but I didn't remember anything from before I met Akira.
[ he frowns. ]
I think sometime after that he moved in with Miki's family.
I think it's similar for Childe and myself, too. [He doesn't know when that dumbass died.] But knowing this place, it's likely something entirely arbitrary. It does make me wonder where we were before we ended up here if we did all die at different times, though...
...Yes, that sounds about right. I'm surprised they even managed to give us what they did, now that we have a better idea of how disorganized the whole system is.

Is that why he's angry with you, do you think?

[ he goes quiet. ]
Maybe not. I think if I was the one who did it he wouldn't forgive me at all.
no subject
Is she that important to him?
no subject
[ it's said quietly. ]
Well, he's someone who cares too much, about everything.
no subject
It's been a long time since I've met someone who feels about things so strongly. The two of you make quite a pair, you know.
no subject
[ if he first met akira now, he would probably just think he's an annoying weirdo, honestly. ]
no subject
He mentioned that. I'd say I'm surprised that you stuck with him, but he's clearly the type that's hard to shake.
no subject
... well. easier to not explain. ]
We were separated for a while. We reunited fairly recently.
no subject
Hm. What was it that separated you?

It's surprising that you managed to run into each other again after that. That woman could have taken you anywhere and he could have gone anywhere.
[Sometimes your fates are just cosmically intertwined though.]
no subject
... obviously, considering where we are.
[ the stupidest place in the world. hell. ]
no subject
I'd say that's more a culmination of bad luck and bad actions rather than any sort of oddity. [Why are they all cursed.] But I do get what you mean.
