[A half-smile. Sometimes you just get stuck in your own head because people around you are A Lot.]
Edelgard has Escha's old role. Shiraishi's one of the other Cockblockers. And for a while I thought it was Illumi, but Grune has the other Cockblocker role. So we're missing your partner, and the other Booty Caller...and wherever Izuminokami's role is shifting to.
Cockblockers are our protective roles. The Booty Caller speaks to the dead. All of the roles seem to work a little differently even if they have similar rules. That's what I'm finding out.
But, more likely, Edelgard probably slept with Katy and knew that if Katy was picked she'd be saved. That's how Edelgard's works. It's also why Escha tried to frame Tamamo.
God. [YEAH? THAT'S BAD.] Kinda felt like everywhere I went I ended up bumping into somebody else's memories. I have too many of my own, I don't need or, no offense, want to see theirs.
I don't know, for comparison? [One shitty and awkward thing versus another, he means.] Explaining memories to everyone has been kind of a pain in the ass because of the timelines.
No, no it's not that. It's just...y'know. Happiness can be fleeting and all that. But I guess there's always one timeline where everything works out. That's the one I have to focus on more than ever, and the one all of us should be working for.

[But - oh.]
Oh - is that why Edelgard brought Katy up? Because she knew she could take her place if we were wrong...?

[Anyways, she nods.]
I'll remember those.
no subject
Dunno what good it'll do right now to remember but it's worth keeping in mind for the moment.
no subject
Thanks for telling me. [...] Now let's talk about something happy, okay?

[Memory sharing is bad, actually.]
no subject
...how bad was the rest of your week?
no subject
[It shouldn't come out as a joke, but. There's at least a light edge to it.]
no subject
At least your sense of humor's in tact. [Which is actually a relief.] I meant memory-wise, y'know.
no subject
[There's a small smile, before she moves on.]
Some people got the same memory you did... Some people got things about my dad.

Why would that make me feel better?

[It does, at least a little, but she feels a little bad saying that.]
But - god, yeah, I bet that gets tough. How many different timelines have you had to explain?
no subject
Misery loves company. Pretty sure there were at least four or five? Trying to sort them all out started getting complicated.
no subject
[Implying either of them have been happy since they came here!! Anyways.]
Maybe you should give each of them a code name.
no subject
Believe it or not I've definitely come up with a couple of names for them based on what I do remember. Not that any of them are particularly cheerful.
no subject
[She breathes out a sigh.]
Yeah... I can imagine they aren't, from what I've heard.
