voice | trion's temple

[thxforthememories]

[This isn't where he was supposed to be. He was on the roof just a second ago. Why... why is he in the temple now? It doesn't make any sense.]

[And then the feeling of loss sets in. Considering he can no longer recall the events leading up to, and including the fight with Overlord, he can only assume this loss is of memory itself. The most important thing he has...]

[... needless to say, when it finally occurs to him to grab the Link and make a call, he sounds utterly frantic.]

Someone -- please. I don't know what happened. I...

[He actually needs a moment to calm down enough to speak.]

... My memory is... there is something missing. I can feel -- I can feel it!

Please. Help.

[This is the most distressing thing in the world... at least until someone tells him he was dead a minute ago.]

Comments

[Action] NOPE.

[thxforthememories]

[He should leave -- he should have his processor scanned, checked for damage. But he can't bring himself to move, just yet. There is a safety here he hasn't felt since flying that day.]

[Then she says that.]

[Then she says that and something in his AI twists, strains. Like a hole trying to fill itself in.]

[No one has ever said that to him. Not once.]

... I won't... leave you.

[And he has no idea what to say in return. He just curls his fingers closer around her.]

[She notices the difference in grip, but doesn't care. It's contact. And it just proves Kagerou is alive. That he's back.

He came back for her... Not the way she thought...but he proved death wrong for her. Or that's what she'd like to think.]

You...you kept your promise.

[Her voice is slurry as she snuggles in more, wrapping herself in the heat emitted from him. It was comforting as she slowly started to drift off.]

[He lifts his chin, enough to accommodate her. He can't say he minds the contact. It's calming. It's real. Something to store in his memories.]

I tried to.

[Even if he doesn't remember making one to her.]

[Though, that's not really important, is it?]

[It isn't long before a sleeping girl is in his hand, as content as can be.

It was the best sleep she'd gotten since it all happened.]

[For his part, he stays awake. Going offline, even to rest, doesn't seem appealing at all.]

[So he'll stay awake.]

[He'll stay with her.]
