[ nene makes a sound that might be answering elysium's question...?

thorns just watches the exchange. okay. ]

[transmit]

[ He pauses mid-patting like something more important comes to mind. ]

What are you even doing here?

[oversea]

[ there's a pause.

and then thorns will slowly answer for nene, ]

... Nene lives with me.

[transmit]

The Señora really does let Nene do whatever it wants, doesn't she?

[ … There is something about this that doesn't seem quite right, but nothing has felt quite right for a while. So he will just flop onto his side and clutch Nene to his torso. His Nene now. ]

I was wondering how we knew each other. This makes a lot of sense…

[oversea]

So you really don't remember me then.

[ there is humor in this considering all the things elysium was deliriously saying to him before he jumped into the water. ]

[transmit]

[ He will choose not to address this directly… ]

I feel comfortable around you. Is that weird?

[oversea]

... No. Remember what I said? We're friends.

[ if he didn't already know this place gives you weird effects, he'd be more worried about this. for now it's more inconvenient than anything.

well, that and a feeling he isn't quite sure of.

[transmit]

Are we? Then you should have no problem being honest with me.

[ He doesn't sit up, but he does hold onto Nene a little more tightly. ]

How much did I forget?

[oversea]

[ well, if he apparently knows juana but somehow has no idea who he is that's a little... interesting. ]

We have known each other for years. We both worked at Rhodes Island together, and you are actually the one who told me to join.

[transmit]

[ How does Nene feel about being his emotional support plush…

Okay. He's up again. ]

You're joking. I thought——you might've been someone I met aboard the La Conquista. You weren't?

[oversea]

No. You ended up on the ship because you were fearful I had been murdered by pirates.

[ this is



fascinating..... if he had a notepad he would be taking notes. perhaps be should invest in something that causes temporary amnesia? this seems powerful. ]

[transmit]

Huh? That's not right. I was there because—

[ oh.

Head hort trying to think about this. He doubles over clutching it. ]

[oversea]

[ ... hm.

nene nudges against him soothingly. or perhaps it just wants attention. who can say. ]

Maybe you forgot about me since I was with you when it happened? At that river.

[transmit]

[ What would he do without Nene… ]

… The river seemed to have healed most of my injuries, though.

You're really telling the truth? We've known each other for longer?

[oversea]

Yes. You are free to not believe me though.

[ it's not like he can force elysium to. ]

But I do not gain anything by lying over this.

[transmit]

You don't. You were there to help me after I woke up, too.

[ … well! Suddenly, he's coming to a stand again and setting Nene down. ]

That's what this was this entire time? [ He mutters these parts to himself more than anything. ] Friend… would be understating it, wouldn't it?

[ … ]

I'm going to go figure this out. Sorry.

[ truly he came here just to leave the next second goodbye ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY

he watches him run off... and wonders if he should go after him, but settles on giving him some alone time. ]
