*Jr. is on the roof again, this time with a bow across his lap, a gun in one hand and a harmonica in the other. His sword is still strapped across his back, with the gun-like handle just peeking over his shoulder, and he seems lost in thought as he watches the sun set

There is lot of us even in our bad memories, Jr.san. You are right in saying they shape us as well, and forgetting them makes us poorer.

I just wish realizing that would make the nightmares stop.

Nightmares try to tell you something, Jr.-san. They might keep coming back as long as you have not understood it.

[books_n_battle]

No...I understand it. It's things from my past that I wish I could change.

The message is not what the nightmare says. The message is the fact that the nightmare is still there. Knowing why it is still there is what will help you get rid of it.

It's guilt. Those events, they were my fault, and there's not a damn thing I can do to change them now. Everyone who died or lost their homes and family or...or went insane because of what happened, it's all because of me.

And Gaignun and Citrine...if I hadn't been so damn blind, I might have been able to stop things from happening the way they did. Or at least been the one to die instead...

Well then, it is that guilt you need to explore and probe, Jr.-san. It is not a pleasant thing, but the sooner you do it, the better you will become at understanding how it shapes you.
