Mn. Can we talk a little when we're done? I had a question I wanted to ask, if it's okay.
[She'll nod pleasantly, her own smile genuine as she reaches for where her sword has been laid out, carefully drawing it up and unaware of the distortion that she breaks with the tilt of her blade in the process.
it's not a painless memory, and the reminder of the wounds and the hand around her neck still get her to pause, to flinch very subtly. But otherwise she lets the moment pass, that same passive look on her face as she observes, her brows furrowing the more that goes on.
[ this lack of reaction from someone who is quite possibly the most emotional person xie lian has ever met sure is something!!!!
anyway. the thing that feels the most intrusive about these memories is the way they just seem to put you in that person's shoes. for xie lian, coming out of it, he can still feel the adrenaline that licks down his spine, can feel hikaru's despair, her courage, the way she was pushed to her limit -

Sorry. I know parts of it don't make a lot of sense. Rafaga wasn't a bad person. He even came to help me, in the future. All he wanted was Emeraude to be safe, and that got used against him.
I wish I remembered why I was so mad at him, but... I guess it was enough for the Mashin, to watch me fight.
