Yeah. I thought of the same thing. Those weren't really the words of someone who was unaware of what was happening, but...I dunno. Darkness manifests in people's hearts in different ways. Maybe it was him, or maybe he was just too far gone already.
I was thinking about going to visit him later, at least. See if he'll say anything.
And sometimes that's just a part of mankind. [ Hua Cheng please ] But I can't argue that it wouldn't be worth considering, given how all of us reported waking up in the morning feeling that something was off, and how so many of us are missing what we had before.
Why not a part of what keeps us sane? [ Tsk. ] Maybe he'll have some clarity, later.
Right, exactly. We don't know what people are losing or what people will continue to lose. People are already saying they can't even remember the things they've forgotten. Just that they know they have.
[...] You lost something this week too, didn't you?
[ Hua Cheng is not the sort of person that enjoys admitting - loss. Of any kind. He's worked hard to have what he has, and win the battles he's won, and know the things he knows. This situation is not one he's a fan of, and it's obvious in the way his eye narrows and his brow furrows, there and gone in a moment. ]
[he just makes a face because like, sure, fine, but it's worth asking anyway.]
That's...a good thing, right? If we really are losing more than one at a time, something smaller is better than two bigger things. It may be easier to get it back then.
En, maybe. [ BOUTS THAT anyways he waves his hand dismissively ] We restore the nova, or whatever, and we restore our memories and save the world. Or worlds. But you've lost something - if you focus on that feeling, how small does it feel?
[hm. well. can't argue with that.] Supposedly that's how it works. I hope that's true.
[he folds his arms over his chest to think it through.] If I think about it? Small. I wasn't even sure if it was something I forgot here or I just forgot on my own.
I don't think you're the only one hoping that. [ He's not optimistic, but he's not just going to be a pessimist about it. Just... cautious. ]
People forget things all the time, but I think it's more the fact that all of us felt unsettled and realized that was why. So we'll see if the small ones are easier to regain or not, as a whole.
I don't trust them to have answers, not when they're not much better off than we are. But their disorganization makes them more harmless than a hindrance. [ Right now. ]
I suppose that's better than nothing. I don't think outright distrusting them is gonna help us at all, but I guess I can't blame anyone for being neutral about them either.
[ Congrats, Sora, you get a pat on the shoulder. ]
Keep your eyes open. If something seems strange to you, don't second guess it. [ For all the hero types there are here, they have good heads and decent enough instincts as far as he's noticed. ] If we miss something that could help us get out of this mess, it's our own faults.
Right. [makes sense to him. despite being sort of a dumbass, sora does have good enough instincts to know what's right and what's wrong.] All we can do is follow what feels right and see where it takes us.
[...] If I find anything weird, I'll let you know.

We can hope that Virid wasn't in his right mind, but he seemed to be very cognizant of what he was doing in the end. A "competition."

Somethings. [ Said seriously, to clarify. ]

Yes. [ He laughs dryly. ] It's been bothering me since Friday morning, but it's not just one memory missing - it's two.

But. Possibly, although I have the inkling that one of them is more inconsequential than the other.

There are factors in play that we don't understand yet. That's one of them - and "leaders" aren't going to have the answer for it.

Do you trust them at all?
