... I'm going home.

[That hope is pretty much all he's got left right now, so he's going to be clinging to it as tightly as he can.]

Do you think they'll remember anything that happened here? I know that some people who come back remember being here before, so that could mean they still had memories of Luceti even after being sent home.

[trueknight]

For that, it might be one of those "case by case" things. You'd have to talk to at least a handful of people who've left and come back remembering everything to know for sure.

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe I could ask Zelos or Chie. I know I'm going to forget about this place, but it doesn't really matter whether or not I remember Luceti as long as Richter does-- he can just tell me about everything that happened here, right?

[trueknight]

Your memories and Richter's are two different things, you know. But if you're satisfied with just knowing his experiences, then whatever makes you happy I guess.

[knightofratatosk]

No, I meant... as long as he remembers the important parts.

[trueknight]

The important parts, huh ... [Man, does he ever want to argue that, but if Emil's going to try leaving, then he'll hold back ... for now.] Whatever you say.

[knightofratatosk]

[Well, it's not like Emil is actually going to make it back home anyway.]

I hope you can find a way to go home with Judith and Jonah. And when you defeat the Malnosso, maybe we'll get to see each other again after all.

[trueknight]

Yeah, maybe so. I guess we'll see what's left for us once we're done with those guys. And yeah, we'll definitely find a way for us to all go back together, that's for sure.

[knightofratatosk]

Um, if you want, you could bring Jonah to my world so he could meet Richter and Marta. Something tells me Marta would probably love babies...

[trueknight]

I think I'd have to bring him with me anyway if I were going to do some world-hopping, but I see nothing wrong with that idea.

[knightofratatosk]

R-really? You mean it?

[Emil almost sounds... excited now.]

[trueknight]

Yeah. But that's if I'm even able to. Don't get too excited about it just yet.

[knightofratatosk]

Thank you!

[trueknight]

[... Holy crap, is that a smile? Well, it's about damn time ):]

Don't worry about it, Emil.

[knightofratatosk]

[A tiny one, but it is. IT'S A START.]

I wonder if I can bring anything from Luceti back to my world...

[trueknight]

It's worth a try. Worst that could happen is it doesn't follow you home.

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. That way, even if I can't remember it myself, I'll have things to remind me, so I'll never really forget that it existed even if I can't remember. Um. Does that make sense?

[trueknight]

... Yeah, I think I get it. [Mostly.]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm glad. I wasn't sure it came out right.
