I-I... yeah, I'm okay... [Her hands draw close to her chest, carefully rubbing at her palm and fingers to try and make the sensations die down a little further.]
The rules said we're not allowed to touch each other, so... maybe that's what it meant??
S'alright. Made my head a bit less muddled. [Which broadly is a downside but if he's going to navigate a conversation with Hikaru it might be easier to have a slightly clearer head.]
[GOD she really is just so perceptive. He can't even argue, but that part wasn't a question, so he can just not respond to it. He's literally hiding from feelings, but he doesn't have to admit it!!]
[He'll even shift over to give her more room to sit.]
Yeah, seems like that's gonna be the way things go every week, huh? At least we can't exactly remember what we've forgotten, y'know? Maybe some of the things we're forgettin' are bad things.
[Mmm... There's a quiet flicker of dread, of disbelief.]
...Maybe, I guess. Some people are figuring it out a little bit. What they've forgotten, I mean. They're starting to see some of the holes. I think it's hard to tell if it's good or bad if you don't remember all the details, though.
...
Raven-san, do you... remember what Hajime-chan looked like? Like... really, actually looked like?
Pikachu was kind of hard to forget in the first place, though, right? Like... I feel he should have been something easy, but...
...
Raven-san, a lot of us are starting to forget them. Not... not completely, but... I think our memories from home aren't the only ones that are starting to fall apart.

What were ya looking fer old Raven for?
no subject
[Her eyes once again glance to the wine, then to his disheveled appearance, then to him.]
Is... something wrong?
no subject
Nothings wrong. Old Raven's just a little drunk.
no subject
Mmn...
[She'll carefully pick up that bottle and take it off further to the side for a moment.]
Sometimes when you say nothing's wrong, Raven-san, you kind of look like a big ol' liar.
[She exhales softly.] Can I sit with you for a little bit?
no subject
You can, if ya want.
no subject
[She'll try to find a space to shimmy onto the cot without touching him.]
...People are saying they're forgetting more things again. And... some other stuff, too.
I know we should expect it by now, but... I don't want any of us to feel alone through it, you know?

Hm. When he actually thinks about it.]
... I don't think I'm the best person ta ask. I never really spoke with her myself.
[He does not remember.]
no subject
It's okay.
What about Virid-kun? Or Pikachu?
no subject
Same deal. I can't really remember people I didn't have a good idea of in th' first place.

[And now he will return to the wine bottle. Time to drink more.]
Some stuff here I wouldn't mind forgettin' [Like Kano's execution.] But we don't get ta choose, so it's a problem.
