I don't remember everything about my 600 plus years of life, just like you probably don't remember every waking moment of your 18 years. But I remember the important stuff. I remember the things that made me feel happy.

I remember each of my brothers and sister's names and what their voices sound like, even though they've been dead for over 500 years. I remember what my mother looked like, even though she's been dead longer. When you live to be as old as a wizard gets, that's what you end up being: the keeper of the memories of the dead. Who knows how many memories I'll be keeping when I reach a thousand, or even more.

...No offense, but it sounds kind of miserable. Even if you remember the good things, it sounds like too much.

[ the idea of outliving your family and friends is a little terrifying, kazuki thinks. and now he's lost nero, too? ]

Aah, I guess it can be for some people.

[His gaze is a bit sad as he says that. He's definitely thinking of someone specific when he says that.]

[teenrebellion]

[ watches him with both curiosity and concern. ]

Like...?

[perfectpower]

[He shakes his head.]

It's nothing important. Just observations from long ago.

[teenrebellion]

[ hm. ]

If you say so.

[perfectpower]

[That look falters.]

It's just...he's gone now, and I don't think it'll matter for the case. Even if he was strugglin' with his own battles, Nero wouldn't just give up and let someone kill him like that.

Especially with you right here.

...All we can do is just try to figure it out tomorrow. For him and Ragnvindr-san.
