[The boy stands by the edge of the lake, looking at the sky above and the brilliant rip of the Lambda as mirrored in its still waters.]

....do the ones that get sent back to their worlds remember everything that happened to them here..?

[His voice is quiet, but his words are still audible over the Link.]

If...I were to get sent away, would I forget everyone I met?

[neverputincharge]

Dunno ta be honest. I've had three people I know well from my world leave. When they came back...only one of them remembered bein' here before.

[happyduckbutt]

So....I guess it's as random as the chances of us coming here then?

[neverputincharge]

Yeah, I guess. It aint a good thought, though. There's stuff here I wouldn't want ta forget either.

[rungout]

I'm not certain that's a question any of us can answer, Ventus.

[Rung's voice is soft as he speaks, optics gentle as he gazes at the other.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

...no, I guess not, huh? I guess it's not something we can do anything about either...

[Video]

[rungout]

Unfortunately..no. I wish I had a better answer for you--something more positive and reassuring but it's just one of those unknowns..

[Video]

[imnotyours]

Wot do you mean get sent back?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Oh...

Well, I heard that some that are brought here can get sent back home, just as randomly. And I guess they can even be brought here again after.

[Video]

[imnotyours]

So there is a way to go home then? To travel back or wotever?

[video]

[sword_redemption]

Wouldn't it be enough that we remembered you?

[He has a sort of vested interest in believing that.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I...guess that would be something. But it wouldn't be the same if we didn't have the same memories to share...

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

No, but you'd be home, safe.

[And that's better than a lot of options Drift's seen here.]

And whether or not you remembered, you would matter to us, and us to you.

[originaldragoon]

That is a good question, though I doubt it has a definite answer.

[happyduckbutt]

I didn't think so, but I was hoping otherwise...

[raceme]

I think some do and other don't. We can't know for sure.

[happyduckbutt]

I guess there's no way to change that...

[raceme]

I wish there was one. Do you want to come back? Is there people waiting for you?

[video]

[glacius_passio]

It would suck being forced to forget everything if I went home. Since no one really knows for sure, I want to believe that I'll remember just because I prefer not to think of the alternative.

Then again, being forced to go home away from my new friends and family, and remembering what I had, would be rather painful...

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I want to believe that too.

...but yeah, I guess it's hard for anyone to really be happy in either situation.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

The Firstforged might know. But to be honest... I'm not sure. There are definitely some things I'd love to forget, but there are a few people here who I'd rather not. [frown] I suppose just getting back home is worth the loss of memories, however. I certainly think so, at least.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I...don't know. It'd be sad to not remember everyone that I've met here. I guess if you can't remember them then you wouldn't know that you would miss them. I'm not saying I wouldn't want to go back home, but it just seems like being here means nothing.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Why don'tcha find our fer yourself?

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

What do you mean?

[Video]

[sariexmachina]

...Huh. I dunno.

Sounds creepy, though. To forget everything?

[Brr.]

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Yeah, doesn't it? ...but then if you forgot about it, you probably wouldn't even know that you'd forgotten it. Though I think that just makes it a little scarier.
