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

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

A mix of both, really...

It was rather interesting.

Interesting is quite the word for these things.

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

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.

And you?

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

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

It was nostalgic.

Not painful or concerning?

No. Simply... nostalgic.

The past always is.

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

Hm... I guess so.

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

I suppose so.

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

Unfortuate for us, huh?

Always, always...

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

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

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

I wonder why...

It's a mystery.

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

And how would you put a positive spin on things?

The hand holding was nice.

Then I am very glad for your physical affection.
