Hello, this is Cypress. If you leave me a message I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Thank you, have a good day.

...

I'd... like to try to-- to stay together. As long as possible.

[pulls one of his overcoats out of his closet to drape over her shoulders, even if she's not actually cold]

...until we have to part ways?

[ ... oh

blinks up at him, her eyes slightly damp. ]

Y-yes.

...what if I didn't want to part ways?

[ her eyes start to well up, and she huddles into his coat to hide her face. ]

I don't know-- I don't know, I-I can't-- it's too much, to think about. I-I don't know what... I'm supposed to do, if I don't die.

I-I want... to be with you. However l-long.

[he kneels by her chair instead of returning to the edge of the bed]

Let's strike a deal, Cypress.

[ takes a shuddering breath, lifting her head to look at him. ]

I'll set aside my goal to destroy Halation if you forgo that imminent death of yours.

[ her eyes widen ]

... I-- I don't know if I'm able to just-- decide not to.

You'll have to explain why exactly that is.

I don't... have the information. I don't know! I don't remember. I just... remember I'm supposed to.

I don't know if it's... if I just have to choose to, o-or maybe I'm-- sick? Or...

And because of this, you will not think of the future at all?

If... if I try to-- think of things like that...

[ she pauses, and sets a hand over her chest. ]

... my chest hurts, and my head hurts, and I feel... sick. Things like... after this place, and getting old... it's terrifying.

[he doesn't say anything

he stands up, and sits on the edge of the bed]

[ watches him,

... and just takes in a shuddering breath, bowing her head again. ]

[after a moment]

When was the last time you purchased a memory?

... a while ago.

When do you intend to purchase another?

[ when pepper fucking write them ]

... I can-- get more soon.

[ganba

he nods, staring idly at part of the room where the floor and wall meet]

[DEEP BREATH]

Let's pretend this conversation never happened. You are clearly uncomfortable with the subject. I must be in need of rest, too, since I am out of my wit to even suggest or consider this topic at all.

... no, it doesn't work that way. We can't just pretend it never happened.

[ a long pause, before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath of her own. ]

I think... talking about difficult things is-- important, to a long-lasting relationship, and necessary, even if we both do not want to. There are many, many things I am uncomfortable with, and I... hope it gets better. With you.

But I cannot say I am not also... exhausted, by it. So I can't complain if you would rather I go, so you can properly rest.

...it is for the better we do not bring it up again.

[ oh.

She falls silent, and bows her head with a tiny nod. ]
