[...you know he has a lot to say her but that makes him stop with his eggs and just kind of look at taako with a face that's purely "????"]
You think it's possible that maybe we could? If nova's just our memories and stuff, maybe we can use it to do something like that. [like channeling nova into recreating powers from memories. that absolutely is not a thing, but listen.]
Dunno! Maybe. Listen, I tend to come up with my best ideas when we're really coming down to the wire on dangerous situations, so I might be a while out from something truly good.
[Starting to mess with the end of his braid, pulling it apart then rebraiding it in his hands.]
Like any sort of magical experiment, you gotta at least know most of the pieces.
You and me both. [you think this is the face of someone who knows how to plan? it's also sort of funny to him that both twins tend to mess with their hair without thinking about it, but he doesn't point that out.]
I get it. Without the pieces, we can't put anything together and come up with a solution. And right now we don't even have, like, most of the pieces at all. [...] Do you think Virid was telling the truth about getting his memory back?
Probably. I can't think of a good reason he'd lie. Except attention I guess, if and I can't really blame anyone for a little grandstanding before you get your head cut off.
[Sighing out.]
Point is, I think he was. What I don't think is that he knows any more than the rest of us.
I guess I can't either. [virid...well. sora's still mad about what happened, but he can at least acknowledge it was only fair virid explained some things.]
If all of that's true then, that answers a ton of questions about the nova in this place. How many people do you think are gonna take that as a cue to do the same?
I mean, could always just tell people that, uh, if I get my great and magical powers back, I can just cast Wish for them. I guess I'll do that or whatever.
Erm-- [Deflating a little? Just a tiny bit.] Sort of.
I don't think it works exactly how it's being advertised here. But what kinda problems could everyone here possibly even have? Kill some guy who's annoying me, fix my relationship with my dad? I mean, we can just do those things.
Yeah. I guess those kind of wishes may exist. [the way he says it though seems to imply that maybe it's bigger than that.] So you don't have anything you would wish for at all? Something you could use a little extra help with?
[i'm crying, lup and taako have both said it's a monkey's paw thing and unfortunately it's taako who gets the question.]
What does that even mean? Like...what monkey? [it's probably not that important because he gets the rest of it.] If that's true, then...maybe the risk is worth it for some people even if it does/i> backfire. If their wish is big enough.

. . . Taking all this kinda, uh, hard, then, huh?

When they told us why we were here, I thought maybe it'd be different. None of this should have happened.

[Tugging at the end of his braid a little.]
Can't really change anything in the past though. Unless of course this is a time travel adventure and we've got another cycle to fix things.

It couldn't hurt. Giving people other options is always a good idea, but...is that true? [taako please explain your magic, he's very curious.]

Nothing I can't take care of myself. It's-- like a monkey's paw thing too. Always the risk that anything you wish for, it'll backfire.

But you can't know what the risk is, can you?
