[ Well, we are sad in this club, but we it is me hei. Joonghyuk is a heartless bastard, after all (no, he isn't). He watches this memory quietly, finding it relatable in many ways. With memories from past regressions, he would hunt down those he labeled pests... Those that made mistakes and costed him. He told himself it was strategic, but it is vengeful all the same.
He also understands the cruelty of a gentle voice and hand.
But (siri voice) he says none of this. They can have their cozy silence for now. ]
[they don't think they were wrong either, but. they've learned since then. sometimes the dead have to stay dead. sometimes people really are just...doing their best.
sometimes blame is misplaced.
nevertheless, their shoulders sag.]
...I know. I get it. I can't just give you something like that though. [and they hate it, actually.] ...I'll see what I can do. Maybe ask around. Pull strings if I can.
[ The answer is silence, but Aquarius can sense that it’s appreciative, maybe grateful. Niah seems to catch the vibe and his tail wags some. Animals are intuitive. ]
[there are pets for niah. good sparkledog. they do want to try to help recover the watch, but they also can't promise. an attempt shall be made though.
They would need to experience it themselves. They might, while they’re here. [ Which is cruel, but he doesn’t mean that they Should. ] I’m going to make frozen bites for the daemons.

How long ago was that?
[ The memory. ]
no subject
but mm...tricky...bad...]
A few years. It's been a while.
no subject
... You're doing well now?
[ At least these are very general, distant though somewhat caring questions. ]
no subject
"Well" is a little subjective if you ask me. But "better" works. I've learned how to be on my own when I need to be.
no subject
My own sister has learned how to be on her own as well... At least until this.

[not sure where this was going, but aquarius has a lot more respect for yjh now so there's that.]

[ If they like want to come and help make. ]
no subject
...they pause.]
I have two extra hands and some time on them. If you'd like.
[so yes. but again, they respect him and will actually offer instead of assume it's an invite.]
no subject
[ He isn't going to say no and they can make some nice frozen bites for daemons. ]
