That would be easy, huh...

[Kumon does hear the doubt. He squeezes his little fat Juza plush.]

[allomantic]

...It might be fine.

[it doesn't feel great to lie to him, but it also doesn't feel great to scare him, and she's not certain where to find a middle ground between the two.]

[9mon]

... Maybe. It'd be really nice if it was.

[allomantic]

It would.

Perhaps you should get some rest. That seemed a little stressful for you, towards the end.

[9mon]

It seemed more stressful for everybody who ended up going out.

[allomantic]

[a little shrug.]

I am fine. I imagine the others are as well.

[9mon]

I've never heard of a place that takes memories though?

[allomantic]

...Neither have I. The residents said they've forgotten who they once were, though.

[9mon]

I was talking with Bass, and they said they were bad at tests, but that they also don't have any tests here.

So maybe their memories are just... blurry? Or hard to get to?

[allomantic]

[she nods.]

Something a little similar happened with Steel... Honestly, I assumed they were just poor liars, but I am beginning to wonder now.

[9mon]

Hmm... I don't think they're lying. But maybe being here for too long makes memories go weird?

[allomantic]

It sounds like that is the story they are telling.

[9mon]

Do you think that'll happen to us?

[allomantic]

...I imagine none of us will take that consequence lightly.

[9mon]

Maybe... there's some way to get their memories back? And to get us all home?

[allomantic]

[one of those things is much more important to her than the other, but she nods regardless.]

I imagine many of us will want to try.

[9mon]

I dunno where to start.

[allomantic]

I doubt any of us do...

[vin that's not reassuring]
