[law_of_reason]

[There's papers, ragged-looking books and binders, all over the low table Kurotsuchi is settled at. At least he's not in surgery, and there's nothing dead. Something entirely mundane this time; compiling reports, from the look of it

Glad to know, then, that I'm not the only one who woke up clueless today.

[law_of_reason]

For what good commiseration does us.

What do you remember?

[Johannes snorts.]

Arriving here. Working. I can't, for the life of me, fathom my own motivations.

[law_of_reason]

My motivations and actions are still the same to me- or rather, they don't strike me as strange.

What's different with yours?

[Still trying to figure what exactly the event did.]

[neverquitedies]

I'm living alone.

[Quietly.]

But I've always been here.

[Video]

[law_of_reason]

...And how long is always?

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

It seems like a long time.

[He stares down toward his palm.]

[law_of_reason]

That's never a good feeling.

-What's wrong?

[slavishly]

[ Nemu just sits there, still cradling that one lamb that had the injury when she first discovered it. She doesn't get why or what she's doing here, but from what she's observed from the PCD, Mayuri is her dad and not a very nice one.

He's also her superior? Or, at least she thinks. Thank god for all of those research links. There's only so much uncertainly one can preform under, and Nemu is currently reaching maximum limits. ]

[law_of_reason]

[Mayuri is just... confused at having some random women living with him for no reason he could really determine. Sure, she was a steady enough hand in the lab from what he could remember- but something was missing.

They had the same surname. That made no sense.

But he regards Nemu with suspicion, even as she clutches her sheep.]

So what do you remember?

[At least he's not hitting her.]

[slavishly]

[ She only views the surname as further evidence that they were related. This Nemu, however, doesn't view getting hit as a decent thing. Mayuri's limitations are ultimately created by decades of wasted effort as the event removes any and all conditioning. ]

Nothing prior to my arrival. When I arrived, you ordered me to find you immediately.

[law_of_reason]

[Of course, he doesn't know to even expect conditioning. Sure, she'd been subservient to him since she appeared, which is pretty necessary in assisting him. But he didn't know why.]

Must've thought I knew you. Or I did at the time... well, what will you do now?

[Even if he doesn't know her, he does know that she's been useful since arriving. He's not throwing out help just because it's unfamiliar.]

[verlorenscasket]

Judging from the looks of the feeds lately, quite a few people.

[He leans on his hand.]

Altering minds seems like something they're awfully fond of though.

[Video]

[law_of_reason]

Sometimes it's only physical changes, sometimes it's... whatever this is. Mostly annoying in this case.

[Video]

[verlorenscasket]

I'm not quite sure which I prefer.

[bunny_flower]

Is that your case? Do you have a roommate that is unknown to you?

[law_of_reason]

Yes. Stranger more, because she seems to be related to me.

[bunny_flower]

Strange indeed. Does she remember you at all?

[law_of_reason]

Apart from her time here, no.
