[Ouch, that hits pretty close to home.]

It's the worst thing a person can take away from someone. But you're here. It ain't fair, but you got a second chance at least.

It's a lot more than most get.

[latteheart]

...you're right. I should remember that. Those things are gone; I can't get them back. But I can...make new memories now.

[fuck_mistletoe]

Yeah. And who knows? You may be able to get back what you lost.

[latteheart]

...I don't think so. But still...maybe, someday.

[prodigal_axe]

......

If you ask me, that's the worst thing about this place.

[latteheart]

...I don't think...Discedo is so bad. It's not an easy place to live, but not everywhere is. And there are so many helpful people...you get by.

But...with people leaving all the time, and coming back without remembering, it's...it's hard to hold on to things.

[prodigal_axe]

Neither do I. No matter where you are, there's always gonna be problems.

But when you've been here a long time ... this place is full of people you knew. It's just... they're all strangers.

[latteheart]

[Baaww.]

Shinjiro has...been here a long time too, hasn't he?

[turneverystone]

No, it's not. But that's life, I suppose.

[latteheart]

I suppose so. But...it's still sad.

[turneverystone]

Yes. But it's all the more reason to smile anyway.

It could be that when people are taken from the city that they discover something the scientists don't want them to. If they're unable to kill the people before they return tot heir own world, but intend to bring them back, taking those memories might be the only viable option.

[latteheart]

But...why take people back and forth at all? Some stay for years, others only a few weeks...there's no sense to it.

[aimedforleg]

That's what I'm wondering.

Is there anything in particular these people contributed that you know of? Something that might cause them to be sent home and brought back repeatedly, kept longer or shorter times..?

[latteheart]

Well, it's not like I know everyone...but it seems to be random. I mean, I was brought back without my memories, but there's nothing special about me...I don't know. The people who have been here longer might know more, though.
