Nah. It's her sense of justice.

But I think she's got a little more room to talk than either of us.

Anyway, we're not gonna agree on this. And we got some time to kill.

I suppose we aren't going to agree on this because she could actually solve the problem instead of throwing straw on a fire and hoping it extinguishes itself.

[Says the nosy and shady man.]

I can hardly play cards or chess like this. Unless you need proof of my suffering. I could scream if you like.

Screaming could be useful.

Could play monopoly and get the same effect.

We seem to have a similar result with Uno.

Though now I will need to look up this game for potential game night activities.

It's hell on earth.

[he shrugs.]

So, what is your deal with Levity? Assuming you coulda told him his name and skipped the whole amnesia name bit.

He was one of my dearest friends. To whom I would seek when I needed council and who could always see through me when I lied to myself. And yes I could have but yet I did hesitate.

I can only imagine how disorienting it is being here without one's memories. It must feel incredibly overwhelming. Thus I decided that perhaps it would be best if he did not have to acclimate to this place and my unrealistic expectations at once. The memories will come in time. I also did not want to force upon him a bond that was not of his choosing. It would grow again if it was meant to.

Besides, if he truly desires to know, he will push. Rarely have I been able to deny his wishes. And I have been watching him afar to ensure he is well supported.

It's such a hands off approach.

Though, my trajectory here woulda been different if everyone took the approach you're taking.

I dunno if I'd say you're doing the right thing.

If he had no one to fill the void, I would step in. As I said, he is well supported.

Can I count on you to be one of those whom he leans on?

Interesting question.

What with the whole kidnapping plot going on right now. Not sure what to think about your willingness to look past that.

That depends on what happens to Absinthe. And you have loyalty.

Don't get me wrong. I don't find you a prime example of mankind, but rather one I can understand and predict.

... Masterclass backhanded compliment there, I guess. Though, I do think the "understand and predict" bit's the thing that'll bite you in the ass.

It has and it has not. One can no be so rigid in their scheming after all. No plan goes unchanged against unrelenting reality. Nor man and his indomitable spirit.

But am I wrong in that you will fiercely protect those whom you care about regardless of most moral quandaries?
