Victor: “…You’re early.”

Batsumurono: “Time bends when they’re close.”

Victor: “So, it’s happening again.”

Batsumurono: “It never stopped.”

Victor: “…And this one?”

…

Batsumurono: “They don’t remember.

Victor: “Tch… None of them do. You always take the first step. The voice. The welcome.”

Batsumurono: “It isn’t a welcome, it’s recognition.”

Victor: “…You enjoy it.”

Batsumurono: “…I remember them.”

Victor: “All of them?”

Batsumurono: “Every scream they buried. Every lie they called TRUTH. They forget, I don’t.”

Victor: “…Be careful. If you hold onto them too tightly… you might start believing you belong to them too.”

Batsumurono: “We all belong here. Some of us just took longer to admit it.”
