[Itsuki has seen a lot of memories. He's used to being an observer, and he knows when to stay quiet and watch. This is... There's a lot about this memory that's new -- and interesting too -- but the core part of it, the emotions that he can feel from it are familiar. And painful.
That desperation, the way Vax holds onto the girl who looks so much like him, twins -- his heart is in his throat. He doesn't want to see a sad ending, he doesn't want it to end badly,
He lets out a breath the same time Vex does, and the memory fades around them.]
...Was she -- were you... [okay? alive? taken? having clearly made some kind of deal?] ...I'm glad that worked.
[it did, right.... he knows only from what he sees in Vax's memory, but that's his genuine feeling. He's glad that Vex is alive, and that Vax hadn't lost her...]
[ actually now that i'm rereading it you didn't vex me nevermind i just can't read
ah.
it's... it's hard, to watch it again. when they blink free of the memory, there are tears at the corners of his eyes, and vax's hand is resting over his heart.
he has to shake his head. once, twice, to clear it, before he realizes that itsuki is talking to him, and vax's voice comes out rough, a little distant. ]
....yeah. She's... she's fine. My sister's fine.
[ he has to keep reminding himself of that, here. vex is fine. ] ...Sorry.
[It can't be an easy memory to see, and Itsuki has seen many -- his and others. This one strikes a chord with him though -- Vax's love for his sister, obviously -- but just that sheer desperation. How does it feel to put your entire life on the line for someone you love? To just do it without being afraid?
he shakes his head]
No, I'm glad to know. Well -- I'm not glad that our memories are out there for everyone to see, but... I'm glad she's okay.
[for vax of course, but also for their cluster of comrades, similarly afraid]
...You and Percy-kun are from the same place? Like Shuu-kun and Yasu-kun?
...Appreciate it. [ aw, sweet itsuki... he gives him a little smile, mouth quirking up a bit now that the memory has faded away.
he's not quite shaken by it, but it's still hard to watch, hard to relive those feelings of loss and panic. hard to think about vex being dead - even though he knows, now, how this story ends. ]
... we are, yeah. Teammates, or something like it. We traveled together.
[he wonders if it's his place to ask if Vax ever forgave him (not knowing that he'll get a memshare to answer that later), it feels too sensitive of a question, instead]
So you went on a lot of adventures? Percy-kun mentioned having to fight a dragon.
