If it is bothersome to your team, I do not mind taking whatever it is. If there's a choice.

After all, I only remember about five people, and none are here. And the most important relationship I have is not exactly a relationship per se, so I would be fine.

Capella.

You would offer too, had you less important relationships.

[ shrug! ]

I have many guildmates! Any one would do. They are less important than these here, and certainly less important than Barghest.

We don't know how this's gonna work! And there's no way I. . You're still new! You don't--I won't let you give up anything like that!

...I am not new any more. Not with so many others here.

The number of people who keep showing up doesn't change the fact that you haven't--

We've done this once already. I am not so scared of these people as I thought. But if you have a serious objection to it, then I won't do it.

[ she says it simply; memories being disposed of doesn't seem to be of any consequence to her ]

We'd have to give both sides though, right?

If that person is already lost in a void of nothingness, then it doesn't matter!

Is that really okay?

No! It's not!

They aren't here. They don't need the relationship.

[Tapping his foot unhappily.]

Either way--if we don't people probably get hurt, and if we do you might end up forgetting things?

It's not them who needs it! It's you! Sacrificing part of yourself, offering to sacrifice part of yourself like that, when it's not like. . you have much right now at all, is stupid! Don't. . you're not giving that up! If there's going to be a choice, it's not gonna be you! Don't just--offer shit like that!

[ GOOD JOB NOW THERE ARE TEARS IN HIS EYES. ]

[ Shrugging!!! But she doesn't seem to want this argument. ]

Did you ever consider that I value our team more than I value the few things I remember? As long as I can keep this relationship, then I would be happy.

But...if you are so upset by it, then I won't do it.

[ HE COULD fight that further, but he won't.

he'll be good. ]

Thank you.

Ah... no, you don't have to feel obligated. We're just weighing our options. This Echo doesn't exactly have a good record on playing fair.

I don't feel obligated! I am worried for everyone here, and know that I have many relationships that would satisfy the conditions that won't be troublesome. Especially if we get to select.

You may not get that option, and honestly, I'd rather not see pointless sacrifice of your memories if we can figure out another way around it.

[ shrug ]

Well, it was an offer. I honestly don't care about my memories one way or another; they'll come back, or they won't. But I have all the time in any world to retrieve them.

[ SHAKING HIS HEAD mouth trembling a bit. ]

Both've my teammates that're here are still really new and don't have many memories back at all.

That's what I've heard, yeah.

I'd like to avoid this. If there's consequences for saying no, we'll just have to brace for them as best as we can.

[ shoving his face into his handss. ]

I'm--fine with that. I just don't want. .

...None of us are fans of pointless sacrifice, I'm sure.

We'll figure things out.
