Apparently- [Triela's at what might be a desk or a table, resting her chin in her hand. For once, she appears without wearing a tie. Still a buttoned-up dress shirt, though. Her tone's dry.] Apparently, spending your leisure time with books when you aren't just studying for school makes you a nerd, or so I hear. Glad to know. I almost hit a boy

[outbursting]

No, no. I totally get what you're saying, Triela.

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

Kind of a compulsion, to dwell. Sorry.

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

No way to really escape it.

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

Damned if there hasn't been trial and error, huh?

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

Too true.

Is it just worrying about forgetting those things that you're dwelling on?

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

It's worrying about who I'm dwelling on in the first place.

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

Oh. I see.

[snuffdoll]

I often think about- The human mind, it's surprisingly fragile, right? It can be messed with. Memories can be artificially repressed. But doesn't that mean they can be recollected, too?

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

It can be easily messed with, yeah. And you're right. Whatever is taken away can be put right back where it was.

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

Not sure whether that's scary or reassuring.

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

Consider it reassuring, please.

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

[bit of a laugh.] I'll sure do my best.

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

All right, then. I'll hold you to it.

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

So long as you do the same, it's a deal.

That aside, how are you holding up from day to day?

[ voice ]

[outbursting]

All right. I concede.

I'm holding up.

[ voice ]

[snuffdoll]

It's a start, anyway, and one I'm glad for.
