So many of you seem to come from such complicated situations... [WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT FORM. Lucas just like DID YOU FUCKING COME BACK AS A VENGEFUL SPIRIT????] ...I'll pray that you can come to a conclusion that you're most satisfied with.
[He is constantly tired over the fact that he wants to help but cannot really do much to help. Everyone stop being so exhausting.
Anyway, as they walk through the mirrors, they can have a return memory before i forget wahoo! puts you to bed as well it is so late for francys]
saber pauses mid-step at the memory, and their grip on lucas' hand tightens for a moment as they process what they just witnessed. it is... interesting. there are some similarities to their situations in the memory, but reversed, and they have to try to think of something to say. ]
Lucas' grip tightens just a little on reflexive return, but he doesn't seem overly-bothered watching this play out across the mirrors.]
Ah, this again... [FROWNING. They can start there, but he will begin with:] This didn't happen to me. Not in this way, at least... My sister, Nadia, was very ill, though. She's been unwell since birth.
[He seems to be thinking this over for a second before nodding.]
Nothing particularly bizarre happened to me last week beyond becoming a child once or twice, but I did hear other people were beset with strange memories.
[Multiple people pulled a yaywon and au'd themselves in love with him, he is so intimately familiar with aushare.]
...I did end the lives of my parents many years ago, but they were in pursuit of us. I couldn't allow my sister or anyone kind enough to take us in be hurt.
[Sometimes you are just in a place where you can't condemn your insane father for being insane... He gets it...]
I appreciate it. Thank you, Saber, dear. [He reaches out with a free hand to lightly touch their shoulder.] I do wish that things hadn't come to it, but I could never regret saving Nadia's life.
[Sometimes you just wholesale kill your sibling...
He always loves talking about Nadia though, so he nods without pause.]
Of course. Dear Nadia is such a lovely girl - the strongest and the sweetest you could ever meet. Even from the start- [Before everything became MURDERS.] -I was grateful that she wasn't here with me, since she still has so much living to do, but I do find it quite sad that she can't meet the rest of you... She's very curious and quite the social butterfly, you see, but doesn't have many opportunities to make new friends or meet new people. I could see her asking everyone here so many questions, it would be the cutest thing.
She sounds wonderful. It is too bad our reason for coming here isn't great...
[ it is sad that lucas is separated from his sister, but also, saying you want her to be here is kind of an insane thing to say considering the situation. ]
[Lucas but with shorter hair and even more small gremlin energy when she wishes to be one...
He's just full of fondness at that, though. He will not express it too loudly since it seems a bit uncouth on the heels of learning that Saber's whole fuckin family was falling apart, but he just loves Nadia so much!!!]
You're very sweet, Saber... Thank you. I thank God often for blessing me with the gift of having Nadia as a sister.

I can imagine so. I'm so sorry that your soul has yet to find rest, even after going through so many trials...
[Just let this fuckin fool rest in peace my god. There's another little bit of hesitance, but he eventually asks:]
...When all is said and done here, do you intend to return...?

Ah...
[ that is a bit confusing, if he's saying it doesn't match up perfectly. ]
What did they want to do with your sister?
no subject
They wished to end her life. [Well. It is not untrue.] So when they found us, I knew that I couldn't allow her to return with them no matter the cost.

[ blatantly ignores the hypocrisy of saying this to lucas while being unable to condemn their own father. it's fine. ]

Do you plan on returning to her? Once this is over?

I do, yes. [AND ON KILLING SCIEN, SENDING HIS WHOLE TIMELINE INTO RUIN.] I really can't stand the thought of leaving her alone...

[ goodby scien ]
We definitely need to get you two back together as soon as we can.
no subject
There are many reunions waiting for us all on the other side of these trials, it seems... Or an entire paradise, for those who choose to stay.
[And clearly the missing souls will also totally be found and get a chance to receive redemption!]

Mm, it is good options overall, I think. Hopefully everyone gets what they want.
