[ Everything that happened was mostly just.. strange. Really strange. Thinking that that Luca boy was part of her world, part of her memories, while they hadn't even met before, it was just weird, and part of her wanted to maybe apologize to him too, or at least say anything, even if she's not sure what. And then there was that 'Haru' boy too.. was she at least right in not remembering him before?

So later during the day, in the afternoon, Madoka goes out for a walk as well to clear her head a little. It's then that she spots him near the cherry trees, but.. she feels a little too awkward to speak up. Had the same thing happened with him and Yui as with her and Luca..? So Madoka remains quiet, just staring mostly from a small distance. ]

[distressedude]

[It might be a few minutes before he notices she's there, still rather caught in his own thoughts. Try as he might, it seemed as though every time he thought back to his "life" in Yui's world, he only forgot that much more about it. Why was he trying to recall it at all? He wasn't exactly in any kind of denial -- he knew who he was -- but... to think that his entire self could have simply been overwritten like that with a single visit was more than a little unsettling.]

[After all, he had been just as certain to be Haru then as he was to be Ion now! Their lives really were so fragile here, weren't they? He starts to turn, perhaps to find a spot to sit beneath the shade of a tree, when he spots Madoka. His eyes widen at first, but then he settles into a soft, a perhaps a little sad, smile.]

...ah, hello Madoka.

[happyends]

G.. good day.

[ She isn't entirely sure what to say even now - especially when she sees that smile, with how there's just something a little sad about it.. well, maybe the obvious option should just be tried first. ]

How are you doing..?

[distressedude]

...I'm all right. [His smile relaxes into something calmer, and perhaps a bit more unreadable. A stark contrast to the bubbly and excitable child he'd been this past week, and his present mood wasn't even a factor.]

I'm sorry for any trouble I caused you this week. We... really didn't know each other. Yui and I aren't even from the same world, let alone siblings.

[happyends]

N-no, it's fine! [ She quickly shakes her head, almost too quickly - she doesn't want him to apologize. Even if he seems different now, even if she had been right and he hadn't been living there all along.. It's not his fault. Nothing is, so.. ]

It was.. an experiment of sorts again, right? Almost everyone thought people came from their world when they didn't, so.. You don't have to apologize. I was a little awkward back then, but.. it's fine.

[distressedude]

...you're right. Still, I feel I should at least apologize for leaving so suddenly this morning. It was... a bit of a shock, to wake up and suddenly remember who I really am.

[His expression falls and he turns, looking back up at the cherry blossoms.] I was hoping a walk would clear my head enough to talk with Yui about it... though I can't say it's done much good so far.

[happyends]

I can imagine..

[ Even if it didn't really happen to her, all she realised was that Luca wasn't from her world after all, but it must have been stranger to realise that everything about you was different, huh? How could she blame anyone for fleeing after that..? ]

... Do you.. maybe want to talk about it a little? I don't mind listening, if it'd help..

[distressedude]

Oh, I couldn't trouble you with... [He turns back to her with a small, hesitant frown. Talking helps. He knows that. But even so, he hated knowing he was burdening others with his problems.]

[That was why he came out here alone, wasn't it?]

[...]

[He looks away again for a moment or so, thinking something over, before turning back to her once more.] ...would you like to find somewhere to sit for awhile?

[happyends]

[ Somewhere to sit.. Well, sitting is good, right? Sitting is one step, and then talking the next, this could work out.. So Madoka nods a little, offering a slightly hesitant and tiny but genuine smile. ]

S.. sure. Let's just sit together somewhere for a bit..

[distressedude]

[Ion smiles in return, though he probably looks a but more uneasy. It doesn't take long for them to find somewhere to sit, given they are standing in the cherry tree grove and the grass around here is lush and perfect for sitting! There are even patches of flowers all around... no wonder he liked coming here as Haru so much.]

I should probably re-introduce myself... my real name isn't Haru, it's Ion. And I'm originally from a world called Auldrant.

[happyends]

... Ion-san, is it.. [ a small nod. ]

Um.. so you even forgot your own name during all of that..? And you got a name like Yui-chan's?

[distressedude]

That's right. Everything felt as though I had really grown up in that world. But now, whenever I try to think about that life, the memories escape me before I can even recall them. What little I do remember is probably just what's left from that day I spent as myself while visiting her world.

[He looks up into the tree branches, a small breeze blowing some of the petals away and leaving only empty stems behind.]

It seems... sad.

[happyends]

[ Madoka can only listen, really, and she gives a small nod at the end of it. For a moment she looks down, staring at the ground as if she can find words there. ]

... I'm sorry all of that happened to you.
