You're in a room...? Probably. There are shadows around the edge of the room which make it hard to judge the size. There's nothing here, but you somehow know your decisions will be heard.

Glowing in the air in the worst color are two numbers: your total and the overall total. They both begin at zero.

[deicider]

However long have we known each other?

[unbr8kable]

We got here at the same time, so...

[shrugs, slow]

You don't remember nothing, at all?

[deicider]

I don't know. That's a long time... What should I remember? We can check.

[unbr8kable]

[purses her lips before answering]

Um... Maybe some of the team meetings around you threatening eye-for-an-eye murder promises to people and Yasuragi...not that he's not a grade-A premium asshole or nothing, god what a dirtbag... Uh, that, or...uh, we were together in the murder mansion for a while... Or maybe after the murder mystery game, the one where we got shot a bunch of times and left to bleed out in a barrel for a couple months...

[deicider]

I remember those things in general, but not what I was doing with you.

[unbr8kable]

Ah...well. Okay. So...yeah, that answers the question.

[stuffs her hand into her pocket. casts around for something else to say but eventually just keeps her mouth shut, jaw a little tight]

[deicider]

You seem... [They spend a moment studying her expression.] ... Worried.

[unbr8kable]

[hesitates, then, careful]

...You feel okay otherwise...?

[deicider]

No, I feel like there's something you're not telling me and it's kind of weirding me out.

[unbr8kable]

There's kind of a lot of things you don't remember being told right now so...

[she waves a hand, dismissive]

Don't worry about it. If you aren't hurt or nothing, no harm no foul, right?

[deicider]

What are you going to do if I never remember?

[unbr8kable]

What'll I do if you do?

Life goes on, memories or not. We don't get much choice on that one.

[deicider]

[looks mildly hurt, but it's brief.]

Alright.

[unbr8kable]

Like I told you... No point in getting hung up over things nobody remembers, right?

[deicider]

Only one of us had our memory screwed with.

[unbr8kable]

[shrugs, slow]

That don't change anything either way.

[deicider]

... Right. Noted.

[unbr8kable]

[hunches her shoulders a little]

Anyways-- Don't sweat it. I'll leave you alone, I guess.
