23 enchantments

A recent conversation has me curious; how long has everyone been here in the City? Days, months, years, there's no need to be too specific. I was just wondering how long people tended to stay before they're sent home, or if there's some kind of pattern to those of us who stay for longer. What's the longest someone has been here, does anyone know

I've been here nearly a year and a half, but I knew someone who was here for almost four years. He's gone on home.

[iknowmore]

Four years? I think that's the longest I've heard so far.

[moresake]

Yes. He saw many people come and go.

[iknowmore]

How long has it been since he left?

[moresake]

Nearly three months, I believe. I hadn't realized it had been that long already.

[iknowmore]

I wish I could have asked him about it myself. But at least he was finally allowed to return home.

[moresake]

I think he'd grown quite weary of the City. So many come and go.

[iknowmore]

It's nearly impossible to keep track.

[moresake]

And unpleasant when people you know return from different times and with different memories.

[iknowmore]

Has it happened to you often, Yuuko?

[moresake]

A few times. But it happened to Doumeki-kun quite often.

[iknowmore]

I think that may be more cruel than all the curses combined.

[moresake]

I'd have to agree.
