[that is also a very lucas thing to ask, lucas and his keen eyes, ever observant. sometimes it galls Lavi a little, to meet someone as good at it as he is,]
It's been pretty recent, but Yuu said it's been at least four months since then. I think it's like Gale and the others... time discrepancy? Or maybe I passed out for four months somewhere...!
Please don't just say that so casually... [HE'S HEARD SO MUCH WEIRD SHIT HERE that he wouldn't be SURPRISED AT THIS POINT if someone really did just pass out somewhere for four months!!!!]
But I see. I wasn't aware until recently that such a thing could happen.
[NOOOO I DON'T WANT THIS AND NEITHER DOES LAVIIIIIII
Lavi observes. Not as a bystander this time, but as Lucas -- as a young boy carrying a beloved sister, trudging miserably, desperately through the rain. Each rejection feels as keen as a blade, indifference feels like a poison, and through it all, desperation and fear and the dawning realization that perhaps there is no help at all, divine or otherwise.
So he understands the shock at the end, at the man extending his hand outward, and the wonder that maybe you have been saved after all. It takes a few moments to come down from it, to reassert himself back into who he is -- but he doesn't forget. He won't ever forget this brief moment in Lucas's life that felt like a decade,]
Well, this is fine. He's seen this memory over and over, but he relives it often, anyway. That day eight years ago, when everything about his life changed. He's quiet for a few seconds after it ends, arms crossing over his middle.]
...She's okay. She's been at that hospital since, and they took care of her, but... She's okay, now.
[THIS IS SO FUNNY. ALSO LISTEN IT'S FINE. He's used to explaining it by now, so he just nods.]
There is no cure for the curse, yes - that's true. Those who wish to escape it must revive as Relivers. The technology allows a person to clone their bodies and transfer their personalities, memories, and so on, so they may continue to live for another twenty-three years. But there are flaws.
[LISTEN....... NONE OF THEIR BRAINS ARE FULLY COOKED IT'S FINE.
He inclines his head forward a little.]
A Reliver's memory bank can't contain the data for every human emotion, so some are lost in the process. Love is always at high risk. Romantic love never makes the transfer, but as you can see, that's not the only thing that can be lost.

I think it's just that our timelines don't match up, but Yuu's convinced I just forgot.
[fcking KANDA.
anyway. lavi waits, turning an expectant expression at Lucas. he is waiting.................. for a memory...............]
no subject
Well... That does sound like the stubborn sort of thing he'd decide on.
[He's known Kanda for 2 weeks and he already feels this to be true. HE ALSO JUST LOOKS BACK LIKE ??? HEWWO.]
...Is... something wrong?
[Yeah the state of the world.]

Hospital... So that guy's a doctor? I thought he was a priest. [he mentioned God in a weird way that's why
is he a little relieved to know that it wasn't some weird religious cult that took lucas and nadia in, yes he is (audience laughter)]
no subject
Ah... Well, he was a doctor and a minister. His hospital was connected with a church.
[HIS HOSPITAL WAS CONNECTED WITH A CULT LUCAS!!!!!]
He passed away years ago, but in the time that he was alive, he did wonderful work with both.
no subject
his brow does furrow a little at the mention of passing away,]
...I heard about the curse from Mathis. [THAT YOU'RE ALL DYING, AND THAT YOU LUCAS ARE ON THE VERGE OF DYING] He said that there isn't a cure for it.
[except....... "relivers"?]

[As Lavi saw.]
no subject
SOMEONE DISCOVERED TECHNOLOGY TO CLONE WHOLE ASS NEW BODIES BUT NO ONE'S FOUND A CURE TO THE CURSE YET?]
...Does the "so on" not include emotions?
[he does very vividly remember the brother who beat his sister to death, thanks to Lucas,]
