3rd Course - Necessary Ingredients [Video]

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi's expression is worried; not surprising after how the last few weeks have been. She wasn't really affected much, but she saw people who were...]

Is everyone alright now? Back to normal...?

[She sighs, looking a bit forlorn.]

Things making people act unlike themselves... what's "like yourself" though, other than how you acted before? I mean... what makes up a person? Our bodies? Our actions? Our memories?

[Memories...]

...hey, what do memories mean to you? How important are your memories? If you had something painful in your past... do you think it'd be better not to remember it?

[She's taking the video just outside the apartment complex, so anyone is free to run into her there or respond over the vine]

[starofpleiades]

Mm... so you think it would be better not to remember things like that? If you could.

[drinkswithminors]

Can't say... Maybe it's not for us to decide.

[starofpleiades]

I guess not...

I think, even painful memories... we probably shouldn't run from them. It's better to remember the truth, right?

[drinkswithminors]

I think that's ultimately up to you, sweetness.

[starofpleiades]

Hmm... I mean, it's what I think! But I wonder what everyone else thinks about it? I'm sure we all have different reasons and opinions.

[drinkswithminors]

... I guess if I didn't remember the bad things in life, I wouldn't be who I am, so I'm of the sort to hold onto that. But if someone wanted to throw away their grief and start anew, I wouldn't have the right to tell them no.

[starofpleiades]

I guess that's true... I wouldn't want to force that on someone. But I think facing your past and knowing the truth is important.

[drinkswithminors]

Yeah...

Hey, what brought this on?

[starofpleiades]

Um, I guess the stuff that happened recently. I was wondering what it meant, having how you act messed around with like that. Changing who you are... which made me wonder what really makes up who we are.

[drinkswithminors]

Hmm... Heavy stuff, yeah. Too heavy for me.

[starofpleiades]

Eheh... sorry for bothering you with such weird talk.

[drinkswithminors]

Hey, better to talk it out with someone, right? I'm always good for that, at least.

[starofpleiades]

Mm... thanks, Akira. For being with me, and listening.

[drinkswithminors]

Anytime, sweetness.

So how about we head up, yeah?

[starofpleiades]

Heh, alright! We can put the other things away then get ready to roast the sweet potatoes!
