whoever she is, you aren't her. you're you. you wouldn't let me get away with calling myself Two, would you?

[nachetanya]

Two's a lot weirder to type, but if you wanted to be Two, I probably would let you. That's just how I am!

When I first came on the app, they made this big deal about how everyone was just soul shards, and we just are the people from the memories. It's stuck with me more than it should, probably, because until darker things started happening in mine, I was excited by the prospect of being a hero.

But I have liked you because you're you.

[breakingvoice]

they can tell us that if they want, and it can stick with you if you want it to, but in my eyes you've always just been yourself, for everything that means. you're Natalia and i care about you completely as you are.

if you still want to tell me the name of the person you're getting memories from, you can tell me that, though.

[nachetanya]

Honestly, that's how I look at it? Well, mostly. Two things can be true at once...? It's a little confusing when I spell it out like this!

Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra

I think I'll prefer "Natalia" - that's the life I've led, after all

[breakingvoice]

i think i'll also go with "Natalia" because yours is a LOT more complicated than Two.

and i like calling you Natalia. it sounds good to my ears.

[nachetanya]

Does it?

Anyway Lina . . . I think you'll be able to manage things better than Clover, if it comes to that.

[breakingvoice]

it sounds a lot better than Nat.

thank you. i hope we never have to find out.

[nachetanya]

I do mean it, though. I can control these swords, now... but that's not the same thing, I know, it's not a huge fortress.

[breakingvoice]

but they're just as dangerous. i remember you nearly cutting my arm off through the shoulder.

i'm glad you can control them, at least. it means you're getting stronger, too. you can be in control of more things

[nachetanya]

Oh god that actually happened I thought I dreamed that.

[breakingvoice]

no, it was a dream, it was just a very, very realistic one.

wasn't the guy i called a coward Nachetanya's original knight? or am i forgetting how you dubbed me?

[nachetanya]

Technically, as a princess, all the knights were hers. "Augustra" there labeled me as the heir to the throne.

But that boy was Goldov and he was special

[breakingvoice]

you can't just say that and leave me hanging, Natalia

[nachetanya]

I'm still getting a full story but...

There was a civil war in Piena when Nachetanya was young. Goldov is a little younger than her, but she tried to protect her back then and joined the knights after her faction won the war. So he's something like a childhood friend? Sort of? She definitely respected his abilities, and acknowledged (frustratedly!) he's stronger than her.

[breakingvoice]

he's stronger than her??? wow um. that's not a good sign. because she was pretty strong.

now i feel a little like a jerk for telling him to leave the fighting to people who are willing to fight.

[nachetanya]

She believed so, anyway. She believed that Goldov could do anything, as long as he was motivated to - but all that really motivated him *was* her as near as I can tell? So he'll never really fight her full out.

He didn't have any abilities I've seen other than being freakishly strong and skilled.

[breakingvoice]

well, except for the skill, that's basically all the abilities i have, so maybe naming me your knight was the right move after all :)

[nachetanya]

Oh I *already* knew that

[breakingvoice]

then i'm glad to be of service ;) even if i haven't done a lot in your service

don't think i forgot the terms of the bet that you won

[nachetanya]

You're that eager to relinquish control over to me entirely? I might be a little unfair!

[breakingvoice]

is that what i said? i just wanted to let you know i didn't forget! it's a very powerful arrow for you to have in your quiver, after all.

[nachetanya]

And like I said, I intended to save it!

Don't worry, I've not forgotten ♥

I saw you had another sister on here now.

[breakingvoice]

okay, as long as we both know ♥

i do! violet. she's, um, a little strange, but her heart is in the right place. i think we're waiting to tell her a lot of things until she gets at least a few memories herself.

[nachetanya]

Saw that coming! Are you more on board with that now than when it was you?

[breakingvoice]

i like not being the newest one. and i think everybody might be taking the way i acted back then to heart? to try to avoid a repeat performance, you know?

i said a few things i maybe shouldn't have said in our family group chat and i think i might still be bitter about it, which i don't really like admitting
