A wish.

[livingimpaired]

[ The Holy Grail. He does not recall exactly what it is, but from what he gathers from the brief memory with the "King of Heroes," it is something to wish upon. And Kei's other self would allow that man to "wish for death." What does that mean? No, he understands it simply, but there is more said and unsaid than he can unravel. ]

With all this business going on, some frivolousness ponderings might be an enjoyable distraction.

Well, then. If you could wish for anything, what would it be? [ A pause. Kei thinks of sending it like that yet he feels that may be too telling. Too telling of what? He's uncertain, but adds more to cover up his uncertainty. ] Though, with Valentine's Day is coming, most are thinking of just wishing for someone to spend that day with, hm? :)

A memory.

I remembered something that was spoken of like a lamp, but sounded more like a monkey's paw. It could grant a wish, and so I wondered after the wishes of others. That's all that there is to it. Just something fun to talk about since most people's memories are sounding rather distressing.

Wishes. I wonder if wishes are really worth all the trouble they bring. They always seem to make things more complicated instead of easier, like they're supposed to.

I don't remember very much. Yet. I figure it'll start soon enough.

[livingimpaired]

You find wishes troublesome, then, rather than having everything you want?

It may. But there's no need to rush it.
Sometimes even the smallest thing can set something off.
And I would rather not have you end up traumatized when you are already so far from the city.

I already have pretty much everything I want. What would I wish for? They'd just make my life awkward when I could be enjoying myself, right?

I remember that I'm associated with history in some way. Some sort of legend, maybe? That's all that comes to me when I try to think about it.

[livingimpaired]

Not necessarily.

Associated with history? Like related to royalty, perhaps?

[unreasons]

I don't know. That's the frustrating part. It's just this knowledge or certainty. When I try to remember more it's like running into a wall.

[livingimpaired]

I see. I suppose it is rubbing salt into an open wound by questioning you like that. I apologize, Astin.

[unreasons]

It's okay. It's not like, upsetting. It's just weird.

[livingimpaired]

I see.

I had a few memories and found them upsetting. The majority of people happened to mention that those sort of memories come back first. And so, I believed I had stepped upon your feelings some. An odd thing for a restaurant owner to say to one of his regular, enjoyed customers, but there it is.
