accidental voice;

[lovelydragoon]

It's just strange, don't you think?

[Judith needs to get over this habit, of spewing random thoughts aloud to Ba'ul while not realizing her device has turned on.]

Yuri said I've even been here before. You too, but you don't remember anything, either, right?

[A slight pause.]

That's what I thought.

[And a longer pause. She sounds unusually wistful when she speaks again.]

I wonder if Karol was ever here...

[He looks embarrassed at that.]

It was hard to tell with your conversation. Perhaps I should have asked first.

[lovelydragoon]

I'm sure it wasn't very clear. I didn't even realize my device was on.

[oceantrauma]

Well, I'm glad you still remember me, selfish as that might be.

[lovelydragoon]

I don't think it's selfish. [She'd be sad if he suddenly forgot about her, too.]

[oceantrauma]

Maybe not. I'm still glad it's not an issue.

But I wonder how often this happens, where one doesn't remember a prior stay in the City.

[lovelydragoon]

It's happened to at least a few other people. It seems like some get their memories back after a while, and some never do.

[oceantrauma]

Then I hope if I ever leave and return I retain my memories, or get them back, at least. It would be a little sad, even if I didn't know it, not to remember everyone I've met here.

[lovelydragoon]

I guess I don't mind too much if I get my memories back or not. Not many people have mentioned meeting me before, so maybe everyone I knew already went home.

[oceantrauma]

When you put it that way, it doesn't sound so bad. As long as you're fine with it.

[lovelydragoon]

I don't see a point in worrying about it, do you?

[oceantrauma]

No, you're right. And like I said, I'm just happy you remember me.

[lovelydragoon]

[Slight smile.] Of course.
