0028. His off-screen rebirth

[earth_uninstall]

While the attempt at some form of judicial system is greatly appreciated, I am not some murder case to be solved. Drop it. I will handle it on my own.

Memory, have you drawn those pictures per my request?

It doesn't matter who did it. It happened, and I have returned. There are more important things that should take priority. I'm too tired. Come here instead.

I'll find a way to make you forget, then.

More important than your well-being and safety? Aurora, come down from your pedestal and stop being an idiot. ...I'll come shortly so we may speak off the journals.

...As though I don't have enough amnesia to deal with for the time being.

[earth_uninstall]

It was a one time incident. Since it will never repeat itself, you shouldn't worry about it. The door is unlocked. Just come in.

We all have some degree of amnesia.

[subject_e0057]

How are you so sure? You know why this happened? Alright.

I was being facetious, Aurora. Simply put, adding to that problems with memory hardly helps, and the fact that you're so eager to do so is hardly comforting.

...Aurora, we worried. Don't put us down for that.

[earth_uninstall]

I have a general idea. Please take my word for it.

It is the only way I know to alleviate your feelings of distress. I didn't think it would hurt you, or the others, and I don't know how else to make you feel better.

I'm not putting you down. I just don't want you to have negative feelings.

[subject_e0057]

I'll be asking when I get there.

...It will be alright. I'm just... upset at it all happening and relieved that you're back all at the same time. Don't do something like this again.

[earth_uninstall]

I'm not in the mood for questioning.

I can't promise that. What if the opportunity came that my death would result in the rest of you living? That is an acceptable sacrifice.

[subject_e0057]

...Fine.

Not if there are other alternatives. And if this was such a situation, then why not inform us now that you have a chance?

[earth_uninstall]

I just want company, not conversation.

That wasn't the situation. I was just posing a hypothetical scenario to get my point across better.

[subject_e0057]

...Alright. It's probably for the best. I'll be there in five minutes or so.

I understand, but I still fail to see what could be worth it.

[earth_uninstall]

The first time I hatched here I was not this lethargic. It's strange.

The three of you would be worth dying for. My memories would be worth dying for.

[subject_e0057]

[A long pause.]

...I see.
