[Tried to lock, but can't!]

[demon_fang]

Ugh, I feel like my brain's on that roller coaster in Altamira... This stupid truth virus is making me think about things I've never really thought about before. Mom's death, the village being destroyed, Marble, Ozette and Palmacosta... and the war Arche told me about... was there really nothing I could have done

Aren't we supposed to be thinking of the future now?

[demon_fang]

Dad? I thought I locked this!

I mean, I know you're right, but... I dunno, I just need a little time to sort things out. It's just one of those things, you know?

[wingsoffate]

I told you... I don't think locks work with this truth virus.

If it's any consolation, the virus is having a similar effect on me. I know I've been thinking about it beforehand, but I still have the constant urge to write it all down on here... I tried to appeal to Eros, but I don't think he's letting me go. Perhaps you should appeal too. This isn't fair on either of us.

Or maybe... I should just tell everyone...

I think it's better if we just let it all out. It's more painful to keep it all bottled up, even if it's something stupid. I mean, I know I couldn't have done anything to save Mom, but that feeling doesn't really go away, even when I know better.

Lloyd, we've already been through this. Don't blame yourself!

This isn't anyone's fault, okay? It just happened. What you did made the world better, a lot better! It's just... I guess we're sort of to blame for messing up the future you created...

[demon_fang]

I know that! I know, but... just knowing something doesn't make a feeling go away.

Don't let me get you down, Arche. I'll sort this out, trust me.

[cutest_witch]

Yeah... But really, don't think about it so hard. You did a good job as is. Let us take care of the future.

It's okay. Just cheer up a little so I won't have to worry about you blaming yourself.

[demon_fang]

...Okay. I will. Thanks, Arche. I think we'll be really good friends.

Dwelling on what could have or might be doesn't help. What's important is that you're trying your best.

[demon_fang]

I know, it's just... hard not to think about it sometimes.

[records_of_pain]

...I understand.
