...It makes a lot of difference. Take it from me.

Although I've still seen a good person be a good person, even without most of his memories.

Someone can always decide for themselves how important their old memories are, when they live their life and make new ones. But you need to be strong. You need to trust in what feels right.

[ That troubles him, a little, but it isn't evident in his voice. ]

This "good person" ... were his old memories important to him?

Enough to hold on and fight for them...and to want them back.

[ He takes a moment to digest that, thoughtful. ]

I see. That was his decision.

Do you think it was the right thing for him to do?

[She comes back a few minutes after he makes the post, freshly showered and in some nicer clothes that she keeps with her when she works, just for instances like these. She has tea for him.]

Rest well?

[ He accepts it gratefully, cupping it between both hands. ]

Ah-- yes. I apologize. [ For resting or falling asleep, it isn't really clear. ]

It's fine. We were both exhausted. I should have sent you home, anyway.

[She sits down, sipping her tea.]

When we are so close to finishing these? [ A clawed hand indicates the stack of papers, which are almost done-- comparatively, at least.] It would be remiss of me not to see this through.

[Hm. Hard question, Fratley. Normally she didn't like hard questions, but it's something she's previously mused about herself.]

Sometimes I wish I could forget some things -- ahaha -- but at the same time, I know my memories are necessary.

[brief pause.] Like, for instance, I wouldn't know how to defend myself.

[ It's something Fratley occasionally has reason to think about, himself. Though in his case, it's really not a hypothetical question... ]

What if you could still recall how to fight? Would your answer change?

[Sarina goes silent for a few moments, cupping her hand over her mouth as she thinks about it. Finally, she shakes her head.]

No, because then you wouldn't remember why you fight in the first place. Eehee...you can't truly appreciate the good things in your life unless you remember the bad things you've fought through.

[beat.] That's my opinion, anyway.

[ He considers it thoughtfully, before he nods. ]

I believe you are correct-- it is important not to lose sight of what one is fighting for. And just as important never to forget the things that have brought you joy, or sorrow.

[Avoids question, goes directly to you-fell-asleep-on-paperwork]

Officer...Have the two of you had any proper sleep, since the incident? Save the troubling questions for later- you should both go home, and rest.

Daedalus, don't badger my partner.

The same goes for you! Falling asleep in the office-

[Back to scolding, which he seems to do often, but really this is because he doesn't much like the idea of her sleeping in the office, where anyone could well stroll by, and there's no privacy, and probably poor sleep-

There's something about turning on his NV and finding the both of them sleeping, on the network, that almost feels as personally invasive as if someone had filmed himself, crashed out over a desk.]

Do they even still have you on duty, after all of the- ...how much more paperwork do the both of you have left to sort out?

It was an accident. And nothing happened, for pity's sake.

[She's unconsciously straightening her tie, though.]

We still have some more to get done and then we'll head home. Relax; you're going to give yourself a heart attack with all of your yelling.

I think I'd be a lot different without any memories.

Why do you think so? [ His tone is kind; she sounds young, and he'd hardly like to force a young girl to answer a question she doesn't wish to. ]

Because the people we know make us who we are, right?

[ A little surprised by that answer. ] -- in a manner of speaking, perhaps.

So if you forgot the people whom you knew, you think you would forget yourself as well?
