They say history repeats itself. Maybe it does, to some extent.
[He's glancing away. He has his own memories, after all, and they're...]
It's hard to fully say what that means without context, but even so. If you feel like you're making the same mistakes as Inaba, if it hurts, then you can work to fix it.
They've had their time. What's left is ours, and if we're going to have their memories, we may as well take them as a motive to grow.
Then take that as motivation. She did, and you will, too.
[He tilts his head a little as he acknowledges her.]
I know you don't want to worry anyone. I'm the same way. But it's not cowardly to talk about the things that are weighing on you. It doesn't make you a burden, or useless.
[ To be honest, she can't help but laugh a little bit when she hears him say those words, a little self derisive. ]
Haha... someone that I remembered told me that I shouldn't be keeping things in. That not everyone can read between the lines or be mind readers. That it's hard to understand each other if we don't use our words to.
I shouldn't be surprised that you agree with that. Actually, I shouldn't be surprised if you agreed with a lot of stuff from that particular conversation...
Oh, really? [He couldn't sound less concerned if he tried.] Well. That sounds like a medical emergency, dear sister! It certainly would be a shame to have to pass up food for a hospital visit, especially just because someone's salty that they're wrong...
I don't mind, just don't touch anything. I'll be back.
[ And she's just going to disappear into her room for about twenty minutes to get changed before popping up. She's wearing something pretty simple - just a black turtleneck sweater and jeans along with a trench coat. ]
[...Huh. Suddenly, Rean feels compelled to touch everything.
Still, he'll be a good boy, just quietly looking through her media collection to see what all she brought with her.
A part of him wonders what's taking her this long, it's not like they're going out. But, then again, he supposes it takes him a good while to get fully ready, too.
He turns to greet her just as she reappears, as if he knew she was going to be there. (Sometimes, those sensing abilities are useful.)]

[ She still doesn't have the context, but the feelings she had after hearing those words still linger in the back of her mind.
But she shakes her head. ]
Yeah, I guess.
no subject
[The things you need to hear most are often painful, after all...]
no subject
[ She admits that easily, trying so hard to keep the tremble out of her voice. ]
I remembered my reply to him, but I... I don't have the context of why he said that.
no subject
That said.
...It's okay to hurt, though, you know. Until you get that context, or even past that if you need to.
[He puts his hands in his pockets with a sigh.]
Keeping all this stuff to ourselves, trying to tough it out alone... has that ever really helped either of us?
no subject
I just- I know that somehow she made it past this. I'm confident of that much.
[ She mirrors his own sigh with one of her own, glancing up at the ceiling. ]
There's just a lot that I remembered... between the last time we talked and now. But you're right. It hasn't.

I want to hear them.

Because all that's true. We were given language for a reason, after all.
no subject

no subject
[He's teasing... mostly.]
no subject
I'm leaving the apartment building right now and pretending that I have no relation to you.
[ You can hear the sarcasm. ]
no subject
Ahaha... sorry, not sorry.
But go ahead. If you do, I'll just follow you. Because someone may have promised her brother food, and her brother has not forgotten.
no subject
[ She's
joking. ]

[ Nope. ]
Fine, you win. Where do you want to go for food?
no subject
Oh, I'm not picky. Just fast food is fine if you want to get me out of your hair.
no subject
We'll go to the nearest McDonalds, then? I'm not getting anything, though.
no subject
[You trained him too well, Raina.]
no subject
Okay. Actually. Wait here, I need to get dressed. I didn't think I was going out today.
no subject
All right. Mind if I take a look around the stuff out here while you're busy?

Good to go?
