[ handholding cyoa... ]

You did? What for?

[preowned]

... I have no idea?

It just seemed like it was needed.

[ashenvaliant]

… Well, there are distinctly worse things you could’ve been doing, so…

[ he can hold all the hands he wants. ]

[preowned]

... yeah.

At the very least, we weren't pitted against each other, so I can be glad for that.

[ashenvaliant]

What did you have to do? Other than hold hands, get injured, and come back with souvenirs?

[ he knows it must be something but all he knows is hand holding and miku now ]

[preowned]

... we had to go through several labyrinths to save people. At the end of each, we had to defeat bosses.

[ashenvaliant]

That would explain the injuries. Let me guess, they took someone that matters to each of you? Or used their image.

[preowned]

A mix of both, really...

It was rather interesting.

[ashenvaliant]

Interesting is quite the word for these things.

If not someone that matters... someone of significance?

[preowned]

I can't really speak for the others... it all seemed to be people they care for. Or at least, the ones I saw? We got separated a lot.

[ashenvaliant]

And you?

[ ... ] It does seem to be a favoured trick of this place-- separating, and then using people you care for against you.

[preowned]

I saw my current master. And a few old ones, as well.

It was nostalgic.

[ashenvaliant]

Not painful or concerning?

[preowned]

No. Simply... nostalgic.

The past always is.

[ashenvaliant]

I'm not sure I'd call everything in the past nostalgic. There's usually positive connotations to that, right?

[preowned]

Hm... I guess so.

[ashenvaliant]

Sometimes you don't want to remember the past much.

[preowned]

I suppose so.

Still, this place does not give you that option to not.

[ashenvaliant]

Unfortuate for us, huh?

[preowned]

Always, always...

I guess we will just make sure it turns out okay.

[ashenvaliant]

That's some confident positivity there. I like it.

[preowned]

We need it, sometimes. It's easy to be negative on the weekends.

[ashenvaliant]

[ LAUGHS FOR 900 YEARS AT THIS NOW, IN THIS POST TRIAL WORLD ]

I wonder why...

[preowned]

It's a mystery.

But it would be nice, for once, if we can break the trend.

[ashenvaliant]

And how would you put a positive spin on things?
