backdated... nene gets to Speak...

[mermaidcursed]

Mm?

( she hadn't expected anyone today- jason was busy doing... .... whatever, with childe, and noah was practicing magic while she rested. he'd normally just let himself in by now- and then sou announces himself, so she sits up fully, pulling the curtains around her bed back. )

Come in! It's not locked.

her voiceeee

[notsosou]

[Shin does glance at the room before coming in fully, but, huh... everyone else looks like they're out; he's kind of surprised Noah isn't here in particular. This makes things a lot less awkward, honestly.

...It's still going to be awkward probably. Shin's confidence in his ability to talk to people about emotional topics without messing it up is not high as a general rule, but it tanked a little recently. How should he approach this? Who should he be for this? Well, he knows who he shouldn't be...]

...Ah, do you have some time to chat? I don't know if you're busy...

[She's always busy, way too busy. It's good to see her in her room and resting, honestly.]

[mermaidcursed]

Of course. I'm not doing anything right now.

( nene kicks off extra blanket she has, pushing it to the side- it feels like it somehow prevents her from giving him her full attention. which is a little silly, maybe, but it's another form of sincerity for her. ... )

... Sorry, there's not a lot of places to sit- um...

( scoot, scoot. there is now some room on the bottom bunk... )

[notsosou]

Ah, it's okay.

[She can keep the blanket if she wants, she doesn't have to drop things for him. He'll come on over and sit, legs crossed and spine curved as usual.]

...

Sooo... I found something recently [last month] and thought you might want to take a look.

[He'll fish around in his pocket and take out a lantern, a small, round, paper thing, hooking his fingers under the ring and dangling it out for her to take and examine while he continues talking.]

D-don't go turning it on just yet, though. Ahaha... it can give you a nasty headache if you're not prepared. [Or at least that's the most obvious difference between him and Rantaro, and Sara, that he can see.] Because the light of this thing... has the power to restore memories.

[He knows she'll get the weight of what that means, here in Yogen, she's a smart kid.]

[mermaidcursed]

( it takes nene a couple moments, admittedly- but then, with how she was resting, she's not in the state to really think, is she? but... the last major talk they had... oh. o h.

could it restore the gaps between what they remembered and their true entry to this place? carefully, nene takes the lantern and holds it, looking at it with something akin to awe and fear alike. )

Then... does this mean...?

[notsosou]

Y-yeah...

[She can find out what happened, in the end. If she wants to.]

It needs two people, but anything you want to find out... well...

[It doesn't have to be her death, because if it is then Shin's sure whatever they're going to see is going to be painful to watch whatever happens... but it's her choice.]
