[Diego's sitting in his office, a rarely-seen place as far as his NV goes. It's small but furnished with a nice desk and... well, maybe it isn't small, maybe it's just the six coffee machines, the shelf of tin canisters of coffee grounds and... wow. Does Diego actually get any work done in here, or is he making coffee all day

I don't think it's good to forget about anything! I mean, there's a different between not worrying about it and forgetting completely, right? Even sad memories don't have to be painful

[beenwaitinglong]

How does one make sad memories stop hurting?

[quackery]

Well, sometimes there's good that comes out of them! So if that's the case, you should think about that instead.

[beenwaitinglong]

Like a seedling that grows from the ashes of a fire.

And if it isn't the case? What would you do then?

[quackery]

Then I guess... I would try to do anything I could to make the things that happened because of that bad thing better!

[beenwaitinglong]

As good a strategy as any.

[quackery]

I think so!

What do you think?

[beenwaitinglong]

Hard to say what I think. A man who's tasted as many bitter blends as I have can have some difficulty remembering anything sweet in them, unless he gets another sip.

[quackery]

Bitter blends? What happened?

[beenwaitinglong]

Well now, nobody lives to be my age without tasting a few of them.

[Because he's SO OLD, right.]

[quackery]

[What even...]

How old are you?

[beenwaitinglong]

I'm 35.

[AND HEADED FOR THE GRAVE IN A ROCKING CHAIR.]

[quackery]

That's not that old, is it?

[beenwaitinglong]

Age is but a number prescribed by a bunch of dead guys in tunics counting how many times the earth could spin around a ball of gas.

[quackery]

But you're still not old!

[beenwaitinglong]

It's all right, kid. Enjoy your youth. Don't worry about us old-timers set in our ways.
