Accomplice: First, I would say it is deserved. Second, it is the truth. Accomplice: Did you not even think about why I would be angry with you? Accomplice: Do you truly believe that I would bother with asking you to retrieve my gift for you if I did not give a damn? I would have simply dedicated it to Cosmo otherwise.
Accomplice: ... Accomplice: I am tempted to ask what YOU think, but unfortunately I fear I have a rather good idea of what you think. Accomplice: Or rather, what you are afraid of.
Accomplice: Yes, well. Accomplice: I am a different kind of idiot. Accomplice: A rather established fact by now. Accomplice: ... Accomplice: Whether to safeguard or break it is your choice. Accomplice: Just... make the right one. Accomplice: And there are still other considerations, of course. And even with Serenity's help it is possible that my body and mind will not be as forgiving as my heart. I trust you to be understanding about that, too.
Accomplice: Thank you. Accomplice: ... Accomplice: About the memory... Accomplice: Maybe it would be best if I showed you everything that happened. Accomplice: There were... rather better moments, too. Accomplice: And I think there were important things we've talked about. Myself and another part of you, I mean. Accomplice: Though I do not know if it would be fine to involve Cosmo in it. We spoke of your past and your relationship with your brother... and I do not know how much of it he knows.
Accomplice: I am glad to hear it. I will call on him later, then. As you would need to be present, I would first resort to Pseudean Falsification... Hopefully, that will be enough. Otherwise... we'll need to find some other way for me to get used to seeing you again. Accomplice: ... Accomplice: I want to say that I missed you, but I am scared to do so, as well.
Accomplice: I believe Cosmo's presence will be enough. Accomplice: But mostly I fear to be a manner of danger, myself. Accomplice: You see... Accomplice: Sigh. Accomplice: It's hard to put into words. Accomplice: I suppose I simply cannot tell how much of my reaction is genuinely mine and how much is born of fear. Accomplice: Because back there I was terrified enough that I would have done anything to placate him. And now I cannot help but worry that my desire to see you is that fear seeking a way out. Accomplice: If I wish to see you, it should be because I want to, not because I am desperate for your favour again.
