... Yeah. I was very noticeably dead, so to return would mean I would probably get captured for experiments. There's nowhere to run.

[ Needless to say, he really doesn't want that. ]

[kumeyuri]

[hmmm]

It might be okay. When I asked the angels, they said that it would be more like you never died in the first place? Though you might want to ask them, with the details of your own situation.

[chrysanths]

[ Immediately: ]

Then I'll stay dead.

[ ....

Okay let him explain ]

If it erases the event that got me killed in the first place, then I can't do that.

[kumeyuri]

[...]

You chose to sacrifice yourself, or something like that?

[chrysanths]

[ There's a bit of silence, since Adolphe takes his sweet time to figure out how to word it. ]

... Yeah.

[ His voice is quieter than usual as he looks back down at the photo. ]

If I didn't, then Yves wouldn't have made it. If anyone had to save my sister, it was him.

[kumeyuri]

[a pause, and then a slow nod. he can understand adolphe's choices.]

... You trust him a lot, huh?

[and adolphe clearly loves his sister a lot but that should be a given.]

[chrysanths]

I do.

[ He quietly breathes out. ]

I entrusted my sister to him. That's why I fought for his chance to continue.

[ He was so fuckin devastated to see Yves here because that meant HE DIED ]

[kumeyuri]

[NOOOO ADOLPHE RIP]

... Then, I hope you can see him make it through.

[this trial, at least.]

[chrysanths]

I do. I really do. I feel the same about Lucas... He also went on with Yves.

[ There's a complicated expression on his face for a moment. ]

But both of them remember a completely different set of events, including how I died.

So it's, complicated.

[kumeyuri]

Ah. Yeah, I did hear something about you guys being from different times, or something like that...?

[chrysanths]

... I don't quite understand it, but them remembering the same things while I don't, makes it feel like I'm the one that's wrong.

[ you ever feel gaslighted about your entire life ]

[kumeyuri]

[thinks about it]

... Yeah, that'd screw with my head a lot too.

[yikes!]

[chrysanths]

Mm.

[ life is rough

He looks down at the photo again. ]

They said that I died protecting the orphanage, which... makes sense.

[kumeyuri]

Protecting your family no matter the timeline, huh.

[says a lot about adolphe.]

[chrysanths]

... I don't particularly care about most people, but for them, I'd do anything. I want them to be safe, no matter what. If it's the only thing I can do right, then it's what I'll do.

[kumeyuri]

... You can't protect everyone, so it's normal to focus on what you can. [i.e. no judgment.] They're lucky to have you.

[chrysanths]

[ ... ]

Do you speak from experience?

[kumeyuri]

I don't have a specific group to protect, the way you do. [if he has any family i assume they're dead by now tbh.] But the general sentiment is something I understand from experience, yes.

[chrysanths]

[ Wow uruha so cool... ]

How long have you been wielding a sword?

[kumeyuri]

[WHAT PART OF THAT WAS COOL

he blinks like ?]

I've trained since I was a kid.

[chrysanths]

[ He has a quiet appreciation for him... ]

Is doing that normal where you're from?

[kumeyuri]

I wouldn't say it's common, exactly, but it's not especially unusual either. Though it's not like I was fighting enemies for real until I was older.

[chrysanths]

What kind of enemies?

[ He hopes Uruha doesn't say monsters. ]

[kumeyuri]

[I HATE YOU SO MUCH]

Other people, on the battlefield.

[no his canon is human vs human but for a long time fandom did have to wonder if there were monsters or aliens]

[chrysanths]

[ come join him

Adolphe doesn't look relieved, but almost a little disappointed, like. Of course.

It's not towards Uruha himself though. ]

... I guess fighting people is always inevitable.
