[ again! not sad about this. he's accepted it for what it is. ]
It's a waste of time... I don't even get sad when other people die. I've spent weeks trying to keep people away from me. I've never cared about the greater good, all I want is to get out of here. I'm never going to see any of you again after graduation, so why care?
You want what you want. But you haven't harmed or killed anyone here, right? And why do ya say that? I'll come see you. I still have yet to see your motorcycle.
By the way...I guess just to follow things up. Can I ask you what the other things you drew were? When you didn't remember things...I didn't know how to explain them. I know Rishid, but...
[ He considers what he wants to say, before explaining: ]
The Pharaoh's name was lost to time. The name is one of the most important things you have... But since I don't know it either, that's why his cartouche is blank. You know Rishid... and Isis is my sister.
The last one was for Lucretia. I can't make her name into hieroglyphs, so I had to improvise. It was a test for myself... I don't know if it would have worked, but since people lost memories of those they met here, I thought I should put someone...
That's what I was thinking. I guess I should have said something, but if I forgot, it's not like you or her could have made me remember anyway.
My sister is older than me. I thought she was back in Egypt because I hadn't seen her for a long time, but I saw her recently before I was brought here... I think she was looking for me and Rishid. She's very clever and hard working, and cares a lot more about the duty we have to uphold than I do. She's a good person.

[Just like Mabel. I see.]
Okay. [And walking over to clasp his shoulder.] I believe you.
no subject
I knew no one would believe me, even if that meant I might be suspected instead.
[ My name starts with an M too, after all... ]

[He shakes his head sadly.]
I'm sorry you had to get put in that position. So I forgive you. No hard feelings, okay?
no subject
[ he's not even sad about this tbh ]
I knew nobody would vote for you.
no subject
[Wow YOU'RE NOT EVEN MAFIA???]
And I don't think you should have that attitude. I think there are people who really care for you here.

[ he shrugs. ]
They don't have motorcycles in your world?
no subject
[Mandi just. Saying this all casually?]
Mm, they do. But I've not personally seen one besides the one those two guys were on at that car riding test...
no subject
Even if I keep trying to get you to be disinterested, you're still going to be stubborn, aren't you?
[ this keeps happening!! ]
Well, it is a pretty cool bike......
no subject
[HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CASUAL ABOUT IT but yeah it was a plan]
Also, see? Putting seeing the bike on my to-do list.
no subject
Fine, but you don't get to ride it.

Only if you know how to sit still and don't lean into turns too hard... Then maybe I'll allow it.

[I get a chance to ride Malik's motorcycle...cool....]
no subject
I'll let you get back to what you were doing... I don't think I'm going to find answers here, and there's some people I need to go see.

[Malik having a sister...sweet.]
And that makes sense. Having memories from here and your past is the key to this, I think. There are bonds here that we absolutely can't forget.

Oh...that's someone who really cares for you, then. You're lucky, to have a sister like that.

So that god of yours. Something you're going to use on the Pharaoh?
