[The camera catches a blurry glimpse of green with a faraway backdrop of ocean until it levels to show us this strange plant, looking rather bald and sorry. There's a heavy sigh and the image quivers again.]

If it is a plant it might come back to life with water, sun, and fertilizer… right? Even a plant from Cephiro should like something like that.
Or maybe you could start some new plants with the seeds from those fruit?

[Granted maybe not the best source of information when it comes to plant life but those are the basic concepts of plant care.

But… Umi had said something a little more pressing that Eagle just HAD to ask about.]

May I ask what you meant by ‘Clef would have known’?

EW! >,< Those have been on the FLOOR! eagleofautozam September 7 2010, 20:38:43 UTC
Does that mean I should wish him to stay here...?

[A head shake. ]

I think it is better if he has been able to return to Cephiro.

No? It means you may at least feel odd that he's no longer around! Let's not even talk about missing him...

That's better! eagleofautozam September 7 2010, 20:53:37 UTC
I really am not sure I know him well enough to miss him...
Besides, I don't live in the same house as him, it really isn't as noticable for me.

[And before she thinks he is entirely heartless... he adds.]

I'm sure this is much more difficult for you.

...Nevermind, then. It was probably silly to expect anything this soon.

And of course it is. But it's not like I won't ever see him again.

I don’t know that I would ever regret it… if someone were able to return home.

[Miss them maybe… But he could never wish anyone to stay here just for him. ]

I know you will see him again too.

[Hopefully back in Cephiro. ]

It's not regret! It's just--- ...everyone tells themselves that! "It's better for that person to be back home. It's better that he's safe." I know I do, every time someone I care about leaves.

But do we even wonder what that person wants? Clef would rather be back to his duties and Cephiro. But I doubt he'd like to know he left us here anyway.

But, he won’t remember that. Isn’t that what I have been told since I arrived?

[Clef would only feel regret over that if he were to some how return here, which hopefully would not happen. ]

...Does it make any difference? Does forgetting about us solve anything?

I forgot I left Hikaru alone here for years, but that doesn't make it a better outcome.

eagleofautozam September 7 2010, 21:24:23 UTC
If he doesn't remember then there is nothing to solve. For him it would be as if nothing happened at all...

I think it would be more difficult for those he left behind, than it would be for him.
[Again assuming that Clef didn’t return.]

You don't get it. I doubt anyone who's never been gone and back could.

When you leave on your own... you still feel bad for leaving people behind. If Clef never realizes it then GOOD. He doesn't need any more burdens. But I know how I felt about it and how he might well feel, if he returns.

eagleofautozam September 7 2010, 21:36:41 UTC
You are right. I don't understand this at all...

How can someone forget everything that happens in this City and yet still feel badly for those left behind? They wouldn't know anyone had been left behind.
If he returns... then he might feel badly about it. Assuming of course his memories return with him... and he doesn't have other worries that are more pressing.

This is going to sound like the sappiest thing I ever said, but... The heart doesn't let go that easily, Eagle. The memories may be gone, but the feelings? Those manage to stay with you.

That's what the dreams must mean...

[And now you have put it into terms Eagle can understand.
But your admitting that means… he has been correct this entire time. What happens in this City DOES matter. Just as he thought…

He doesn’t mention that though. You just get a quiet nod. ]

The dreams…?

Reply

soulofocean September 7 2010, 21:48:48 UTC
Dreams.

So far? If anyone's ever managed to take something from this place with them when they leave, that's blurry dreams of the people they met here.
