...Ah... Miss Raine, or Genis... or anybody, really... I guess I will need help with reading again. I've been trying to practice, but I remember that braille stuff better than regular writing. It's really weird.

The writing here is different from the symbols Ron and Yoko showed me on our world, too. Is it the same for everyone else? Does your world have a special way of reading and writing, or a language? I just think it's funny how everyone can understand each other here...

I mean, it's good that we can, but... it's weird, right?





.....um... Miss Aerith? Did something happen with you and Papa?

[She comes in, settling herself on the side of the bed, and notes the books.]

The braille is pretty easy to understand, isn't it? I picked up a little before. [far, far from a speed reader, of course.]

Yeah... it's weird, though. I never even though about it before, but as soon as I picked the books up and started touching the letters, the words just come to me. But I can barely remember learning how to read it, so it's like I know for no reason.

I know you studied hard when you were here, so there is a reason.

...Have you heard about John?

[The sudden change of topic worries him.]

He's that creepy doctor, right? The one who made Zack sick.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[And the reminder of that worries Aerith, and she looks down at the bedspread.]

Yeah...he was trying to fix Zack's death penalty. And he did, even if...[She purses her lips.]

Cloud's death penalty needs to be fixed soon, Simon. It's getting out of hand.

His memory...? It really is bad, isn't it...

[She leans over and reaches out--thinking to hug him first, but he's older now so she reaches up and tousles his hair instead.]

He'll be all right once it's fixed. But...that's the problem right now. He doesn't remember me very well. [Or at all.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[He blushes at the hair ruffling, but her words make his eyes widen.]

He forgot about you?! Will he forget about us, too?

[action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

No, no. [She says that hastily; that's why she wanted to tell him the problem was getting fixed before saying what the problem actually was.] His memory'll be mended soon--he won't forget anyone else. That's why it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Fixed... you mean going to that John guy, right? That's why you mentioned him?

[action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Mhm. I don't know exactly when it'll be, but...soon. He'll be gone a few days, but it's necessary.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...So after that, he should be okay?

[action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Mhm. He'll be fine.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

That's good, then! He wouldn't be happy with forgetting about someone as nice as you.

[action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[A little laugh. Thank you, Simon.] No, he'll probably be kicking himself when it's all said and done. That's why we're taking care of the problem before it gets any worse.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

We'll have to make sure he never forgets again somehow!

[action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

I planted forget-me-nots for him in the garden...

What do you think would help him remember?

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

We could paint his room pink.

[action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

His reaction would definitely be a memorable one. Pink with floral decorations.

[action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

That's even better!

[action] funny thing, that was my bedroom at 10 years old. XD

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

I don't think he'd be able to forget that, even if he wanted to.

mine was a boring pastel pink D|

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

No way! Every time he walked in the room, he'd think of you!

/has an arts&crafts mom

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

And then he'd ask if he could repaint it yet.

/does too, but she left our rooms to us :|b

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

And we'd always tell him no.

Awww.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

He's man enough to deal with some girly things.
