[ because you were so cute and cheerful and bright as a child. it'd be easier for baby rin to get along with lambda, too, now that i think about it. ]

A miracle?

[ she means from both sides probably. ]

[damp]

Oi. [ his expression flatlines ] It's just easier to make friends as kids.

[ ... ]

Did you even have a childhood?

[diluvian]

[ well.

oink oink. sorry for fate/ character designs. not the most sfw..........

this memory comes with some static and a kind of disconnect. it's the kind of memory you know you have, but it's not one you've experienced. ]

[damp]

[ Another memory comes by, and it's even more confusing than the last. He watches the story of Lambda and her sister. She seems... a little different. Not as cold as he'd expect.

He just looks at her. ]

... You were also summoned to fight a war?

[diluvian]

Once. In a way. The me that was there was more like a sentinel.

[ kind of. she went off the beaten path. ]

[damp]

The you...? You're not the same person as the one in the memory?

[diluvian]

[ ... ]

How much do you know of spirits?

[damp]

I know how we think of them in Japan; different types of yokai.

I don't really know too much about stories of spirits outside of that though.

[diluvian]

Think of it like I'm a reincarnation, in a way. We're, in essence, the same. I have all the memories of the person in my memory, but I'm not the same person because I didn't personally experience those memories.

[damp]

[ that actually makes a lot of sense ]

So that person died and you were born? Guifei mentioned she was summoned to save the world. Is that your mission too?

[diluvian]

I was summoned.

[ there's a big enough distinction that she has to correct him. she was born in a different place, in a different time. ]

We were summoned for the same mission.

[damp]

[ He nods, a little curious as he tries to piece together the different pieces of information that he knows about her. ]

Do you believe in it?

[diluvian]

It's contractual. It's not as if I want nowhere to exist.

[ she doesn't have strong feelings about saving everyone in her world, but she doesn't mind having a world around. ]

[damp]

Then...

[ He tilts his head. ]

What is important to you?

[diluvian]

[ she smiles up at him. ]

Beauty and elegance.

[damp]

[ i'm sorry rin is so gay the first thing he thinks of when she says that is, ]

Have you ever seen Haru swim?

[diluvian]

[ that is so gay. she doesn't know if she's in disbelief or if she wants to laugh. she doesn't laugh. ]

No. Is that what you think of him?

[damp]

[ it's not his fault everyone in free is gay for haru's swimming ]

I mean... At least when he's in the water. Haru's freestyle is really something else.

[diluvian]

[ haru's protag aura. ]

Is that why he keeps on saying free?

[damp]

[ help. he laughs. ]

Yeah, he's been like that since he was a kid. [ (haru voice) ] "I only swim free." It used to drive me insane.

But you should watch him one day. It might be a nice sight to see.

[diluvian]

Used to?

[ she thinks if it's such a refrain, it'd get more and more tired over time. ]

I'll think about it.
