[a soft voice that might be familiar to some speaks up after a moment, a tinge of weariness in it.]

A lot of people...left again. I want people to be happy at home, but...


What...do you do when...your memories start to fade? I don't want to lose them forever.

Wait, really?

[she believes that pretty easily]

[mnementomori]

Yeah. And I was with my friends all the time for the first part of my life. So there was no way I'd ever forget them.

[cleaningstop]

Hmmm, still... It's only natural for memories to fade over time.

Not all of them! But definitely some.

[mnementomori]

I feel a little better...knowing that. Thanks.

[cleaningstop]

You're welcome! My name is Hong Meiling, by the way.

[mnementomori]

I'm Xion. Thank you, Hong Meiling.

[cleaningstop]

Nice to meet you, Xion. Ah, but you can just call me Meiling!

[mnementomori]

Oh! Okay. Meiling. [she still hasn't quite grasped the concept of first and last names yet, having only one name of her own.]

Have you been here long?

[cleaningstop]

Hmm, not really. Just a couple of months!

[mnementomori]

People come and go a lot, so it's hard to keep track of everyone. Are you alone, or do you have friends here?

[cleaningstop]

I was fortunate enough to find some friends from home when I first arrived!
