a thing

[In the tradition of Aather games, the setting is a stone room with no windows... or doors. There is a simple table with two chairs set with some basic food - meats, cheeses, fruit, etc. There is also a piece of paper on the table with instructions, but it just reads Take this chance how you will.

There is nothing else in the room except for its two inhabitants, who both appear in it suddenly.]

My hometown, huh... I don't remember it at all.

[verypointed]

I've never been, so you'll have to remember that yourself. I think your family lives there.

[heroinhisowntime]

I don't remember them at all either.

[s-sigh]

I've got a lot of work to do still.

[verypointed]

... you really do.

Do you remember the other Heroes, at least?

[heroinhisowntime]

Bits of them... mostly Fire Emblem and Blue Rose and Origami Cyclone. And we were all together in a couple of my memories.

[verypointed]

I see.

[heroinhisowntime]

They're all doing alright?

[verypointed]

I haven't talked to them for a while... to be honest. But I think they're doing pretty well.

[heroinhisowntime]

That's good.

[verypointed]

Is it difficult for you, talking about things you should remember but... don't?

[heroinhisowntime]

I dunno about difficult... it's kind of weird, though. I haven't really talked about this stuff much.

[verypointed]

No one to... talk to?

[heroinhisowntime]

Not exactly no one... but it's not really the same. And I guess I'm not very good at it in general.

[verypointed]

No, you're not at all.

You're great at meddling into other peoples business, but... you don't really talk about yourself much.

[heroinhisowntime]

Hey, it's not meddling!

[verypointed]

What would you call it then?

[heroinhisowntime]

Helping.

[verypointed]

Definitely meddling.

[heroinhisowntime]

You only think that because you try to take care of everything on your own too much.

[verypointed]

You get used to taking care of everything yourself after twenty years doing it, you know.

And it's not like you're not doing the same either. You keep secrets and do things yourself all the time.

[heroinhisowntime]

That's different.

[verypointed]

No it's not.

[heroinhisowntime]

Do I really do it that much?

[verypointed]

Yes.

[heroinhisowntime]

Hmm...
