84th Fall

Thank you for taking me out the other day, Miss Milla. I really appreciate it. You too, Wolfwood. I got some things done that I really needed to do.

Meryl is my first real friend since before I joined the crew on the SEEDS ship.

...Wait, I didn't really want to say that. Is this a curse?

We all seem to be saying interesting things, apparently.

[devilingenuity]

I can see it from your standpoint, but have you attempted to see it from his?

[mother_rem]

I have. But they were all innocent people who had nothing to do with it.

[devilingenuity]

How long has it been, for you to have forgotten being a child, Rem...?

[mother_rem]

A long time. Death doesn't help matters much, either.

[devilingenuity]

Then, you should take it from someone who understands all too well:

In the eyes of a child, all that matters is association. With that association imprinted on the mind, and with no one there to wipe that association from his or her brain, it burns deeper and scars more wholly as the child grows older. With no one to say otherwise and prove otherwise, the association becomes valid.

[mother_rem]

That makes sense.

...Thank you, Vergil.

[devilingenuity]

Mm. We should do lunch.

[mother_rem]

Lunch?

....Not Friday. Maybe Saturday, if you'd like?

[devilingenuity]

Perfect. Noon?

[mother_rem]

That sounds fine.
