A general question: has anyone ever received something from Retrospec that was intended for somebody else? Or something you were certain WASN'T yours, even if the ticket said otherwise?
Because I do have memories of a bear, but it definitely was not THIS one.
((pretend this bear is 100% handmade and doesn't have the Stieff logo or the name on it's foot, okay--))

[He pauses as he reads the last bit of Fai's message, though. A long strip of black cloth? That sounded familiar, but why would remembering it be signifigant--
--oh. OH.]
... is this the same cloth you wear as an eyepatch now? [He always thought it was weird that Fai never opted for something more sterile, but--]

...so maybe Sakura gave it to you? You two seemed pretty close in my memory ;)
[Is he trying to make the poor kid apoplectic? ...maybe. It's cute.]
Yes. At least now I know why the other me had it. I don't remember anything about the other me and the eye thing, but I guess at least Retrospec was nice enough to send it before I needed it.

You said yourself she was a princess, didn't you?? Even if you think we were close, wouldn't that be a breach of some sort of royal etiquette? I mean... I don't know what I was to her, but I doubt I was the sort of bodyguard she'd want to gift that to.
[You know, given how roughly he treated her to get the cards away from her. Who'd want to give a bear to THAT?
The last part of Fai's message, however, is enough to sober him up from his flustered feelings, as everything clicks into place with chilling clarity.]
... your eye.
Retrospec took your eye. [And here he was, judging him when they first met for looking suspicious, too.]
I'm... sorry. I had no idea.

It's okay. I wouldn't expect you to have known, since I haven't told very many people about it. Other people have it worse though, and I'm fine ♥

[Does he tell Fai? He should probably know, in case he remembers something equally as damning, but how does you tell someone's father that you've bullied their kid in another life?]
... I have my doubts about us being as close as you claim we were, that's all. I may have just been doing my duty. Nothing in my memory points to us being on any better terms than that.
And it's not okay. Just because others have it worse than you doesn't excuse the fact that they
[No, he's letting his emotions get the better of him. He needs to calm down, just a little.]
... how long ago did this happen?

[And yes, Fai feels kind of like a jerk for Xiaolang's reaction. No one should have to fuss over him like this--especially not a child.]
October. Just before Halloween.
