Hey Nill. A friend of mine is making something called a Memory shrine. I'm not sure if you'd be interested but...if you are I can give you a bit more info.

I've never heard of a Memory shrine before.

But it sounds a little bit like Prydain's memory wall at Gohl.

[dual_soulninja]

She said that's where she got the idea so it would be the same.

Only this has a more physical approach to it.

[heinesangel]

There must be people she doesn't want to forget about either.

I have a lot of things like that. I keep the things that people have left behind in a box in my closet.

[dual_soulninja]

I think that's true for a lot of people here. Or the majority at least.

[...]

Does it help?

[heinesangel]

It's the same for me too.

A little. I don't have as many things as people that I want to remember. But they help me think of certain memories.

[dual_soulninja]

I think for me too.

That sounds like it would work a little better. A single thing that reminds you of many people and anything you did with them.

[heinesangel]

It doesn't even have to be something they left behind. But something from this city.

There's a tree in the park that Pit and I climbed up once. I like to go back and see it sometimes.

[dual_soulninja]

Like the rooftops.

[That sort of thing though probably had more to do with him then the people he met up there.]

I understand.

[heinesangel]

I don't want to lose track of those kinds of memories. They're very important to me.

I almost lost them when I was brought back to Discedo, but Chocobo helped me find them again.

[dual_soulninja]

[What was worse? To forget, or be forgotten?]

That's...horrible, Nill. I'm glad you could remember.

[heinesangel]

It made me very sad, and it was very scary and confusing at first. ...I didn't like it at all.

I was lucky.

[dual_soulninja]

I'm not sure I can imagine what it would be like.

At least someone here has a bit of luck.

[heinesangel]

I hope that never happens to you, Leonardo.

You don't think you have very good luck?

[dual_soulninja]

Not...usually.

At least not the kind of luck that would make things easier for us.

[heinesangel]

Oh. I'm sorry.

[She's had a few days that were like that too.]

[dual_soulninja]

You don't have to be; after eighteen years, it would be weird to lose it.
