[Hymn #2]

[nightcrossed]

I guess I should review what I've learned for my own benefit...

This place is called Memento Eden and it seems that people arriving here with no memories is a common occurence. The amnesia visitors suffer seems to be unnatural and induced by something... or someone. Wilheim compared it to a stage. I think I will stick to the chess game analogy. I wonder if there really is someone behind everything and what they'd be gaining from it... and what path I'll choose.

Anyway, over time memories return to people. This process seems slow, however. I may have plenty of time in Memento Eden, but I feel like I should keep myself busy and do what I can.

Food and board is apparently provided for free. I discovered I'm on one of the lower floors of the Ari Apartments, and apparently have a roommate. I think her name was Renge? I wonder what this person is like? I'm sure I'll find out soon.

Yes. The more I look at it, the more I realize I won't be able to simply do things on my own. There are so many people here... They seem very willing to help. I wonder if I'll be of any help to someone else?

To begin, I need to find myself a job. Preferably something with a cute uniform... After that I need to learn how to fight with a staff and how to use throwing knives. I wouldn't have them with me if I had never used them before, right? I wonder what else I'll be able to learn.

If I continue like this, I should be able to find some answers. I just hope that wherever I came from things are going well. I'd feel bad if someone needed me and I wasn't there for them.

Come to think about it, I wonder why I was crying...

Other people seem put off by her "strangeness". I guess when I finally meet her I'll draw my own conclusions.

[She straightens slightly, but watches with interest as he twirls her staff around. Tear thinks he makes it look very easy and wonders if she was once able (or if she still might be able) to do the same.]

Y-yes... I guess that's true. Just as I'm sure there are princesses and noble ladies who are not very attractive...

[She looks away briefly, hoping to change the subject.]

Have you been in Memento Eden long?

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

[He crouches down so he's eye-level with Tear, who is probably two-thirds his height and holds up five fingers.]

Five months now!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Tear sweatdrops but maintains her calm and collected composure, even when staring into the face of... death.]

Five months? That's a rather long time. You seem to be enjoying your stay, though.

My name is Tear by the way...

I'm curious... Have you managed to regain any important memories yet?

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

You may call me Shinigami~

I have remembered several important memories, in fact!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Tear nods.] It's a pleasure, Mr. Shinigami. Doesn't that mean 'god of death'? Somehow this doesn't strike me as being strange at all...

That's good to hear. I hope you'll remember many more.

I wonder if I'll start remembering something important soon... I'd better be careful not to jump to conclusions if anything ever comes to me...

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

Hmm, 'Mr. Shinigami'? If you go that way, you can call me Mr. Reaper if you'd like~ I think it's a little cute.

I will remember more, and so will YOU! Do not worry, you will find many memories here, both new and old~

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

B-but that's even worse than Mr. Shinigami... it reminds me that his appearance is a little frightening... Oh, I'm sorry, you don't like "Mr. Shinigami"?

Yes, I certainly hope so. I won't give up.

[Tear blinks repeatedly, then takes a short breath.]

Could I have my staff back now, please?

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

[Bounces up and down like a spring a bit]

No, no~ You can call me whatever you wish, m'dear~

[Holds the staff out to her.]

Here. You'll remember your skills over time~ And don't trouble yourself over whether or not you're cute.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Watches as he bounces up and down, her head probably following the motion.]

Okay then. I'll just call you Mr. Shinigami for now...

[She takes and examines her staff, wondering just how long it'll take for her to relearn how to use it.]

Yes, I suppose that I will. I intend to do some research on combat. Maybe if I start off on the right foot, the things that I knew and have forgotten will soon follow.

Oh, it's fine. I'm not really worried about that...
