Ah...Not particularly, but better that sentiment than the opposite.

Better to feel as though things are at the apogee than the perigee, as it were.

[A pause.] I've...hardly any right to, as I...scarcely knew him. And during the time I knew him, I was not kind to him. But I...

Yes. I do.

I have dreams about him. Before, I dreamt about him, too, but I didn't know it was him, then. The feeling, though. It's the same.

Is this better, or worse?

It's the same. A little worse, I guess. When I woke up here and I knew something - someone - was missing, it hurt. It hurt every day. And back then, I couldn't remember what I had done, but I knew that- it was my fault they were gone.

Sensei always warned me, 'bad things will happen if you use that.' So, when I woke up here, with the sensation that I had done something terrible, I thought for a while it was my fault everyone ended up here.

It felt like my insides were trying to fall out of me. Then, Yoite came. I didn't know it was him; I didn't know I knew him. But I found him. He was sick. I think, you remember- he was coughing up blood. [ 'We found out later that was usual for him, didn't we?' it goes unsaid. ]

Of course, he didn't want to go to the hospital.

All my memories of him, from before this place, are completely gone. Even if I try to focus or grapple for them, I can't. When I brought him home with me, he was a stranger.

I didn't send him away, though, because all those torn places were coming back together.

Was it better for you, that he was there?

Here? With me?

Yes.

What matters is what Yoite wanted. He either wanted to be erased or to die. I wasn't in the equation, unless I was going to use 'that' to erase him. Again.

If he had asked me, again, I probably would have. I offered to use it to make him better, but he would hold my hands [ so he couldn't cover his ears, of course ] and tell me that it's all right and I don't understand a lot of things. I kept thinking, 'how can it be all right that you want to die so much?' But, what Yoite wanted most was important.

I was scared, though. I was scared, one day he would wake up, and he would ask me to do it all over again. I was scared if I did it this time I would go mad, or something.

[ it feels like there's a house on his chest, suddenly. heavy exhale. ]

[A pause.] It was not fair of him to have asked it of you.

Before - ? It's what he wanted. I was the only one who could do it.

It still was not fair. You loved him, and he loved you. To ask you to do something like that...It was impossibly selfish.
