[...oh. That... that all struck closer than Idia would had liked... or expected from Hypnos. Like, wtf, where did those brain cells come from, Hypnos?]

Me too. With my brother and I. Everyone else around us were adults and working. We only had each other. Didnt know how to talk to others my age, even after going to school. still dont.

the last place i was at someone said the same. that dont matter if try and push people away, theyll find a way to still get in. didn't believe him at first... but it was like that. but they gone now too

[...]

its hard to start that again. especially with the whole 'fuck each other!' bs they got here

It's nice to have the memories though, isn't it? Even if it isn't forever. Most things aren't forever--even Gods can die.

[Having no memories to reflect on at all feels even worse than the thought that having to say goodbye, at least to Hypnos.]

[flameinthedarkness]

I didn used to think so... but yeah. back home... we have the Lethe, my family. I grew up knowing i was going to be forgotten

[It's... kind of easier say it to Hypnos. He would know the terms, right? Not needing to explain just what the Lethe does. What it can do...]

seemed pointless. but the people on the train... they remember me. even if no one back home does

[bullfan]

[Hypnos definitely recognizes the term, so even if Idia's Lethe is different from his, the context makes perfect sense.]

I know I'm not going to forget about you no matter what happens. :)

[flameinthedarkness]

yeah well, unless youre going to go dunking your head into it when you get back, or i get some of it here, that's not really a thing, huh

[...though it might not be bad to have some of the Lethe here... could be handy, just in case. And Idia would still love to test the Styx from Hypnos' world. Thanatos wouldn't let him take any when he had been there...]

[bullfan]

Don't think so!

[Of course, little does he know that leaving Duplicity means leaving all those memories behind. Hypnos isn't the type to go scouting for information that he doesn't immediately need.]

Family's complicated, but whatever things were like for you before, I don't think it makes it all pointless here and now.

[flameinthedarkness]

[Yeah, finding out that will be a shock for Idia once he learns about it... and maybe shake up his world a little. His plans... but until then,]

...since when you able to say stuff like this?

[Maybe insulting a god isn't a great idea, Idia...]

[bullfan]

I'm as complicated as I am wise, nya! 😽

[flameinthedarkness]

ha the nya kinda cancels that out u know
