We all die, but it doesn't mean you will die now.

[You're here. You're here. Not there. You're here.]

[The hug back is a bit surprising, but he won't let go.]

You still have so much to look forward to, okay?

[godcards]

Okay.

[ he doean't sound convinced. the hug is brief, as he lets his arms drop and hang lamely ]

[duranduel]

Malik...

[I know it's hard. I know it is. I've been there. It's going to be okay...]

[He won't detach from the hug just yet.]

We're going to find a way to wrench your memories back from the jaws of this damn place, okay? And give it a good mauling for good measure. We'll do it.

[godcards]

Okay. [ he sounds more sure this time! ]

I don't know if it's the same as everyone else who forgot temporarily... [ like lucretia. ]

It was part of the game to make a sacrifice. Since I gave them up willingly, I might not get them back.

[duranduel]

Maybe...but with the vouchers, we can get anything back for the most part, right?

I could use vouchers for that cause.

[godcards]

[ don't be an idiot. ]

You should use your vouchers for something more meaningful. People get hurt here all the time.

[duranduel]

[Who are you calling an idiot, idiot.]

Yeah, but I get vouchers weekly. It's fine.

[godcards]

Mandricardo, I don't want you to use more vouchers on me. Giving them up was a choice... I'd rather have most of my vision back instead of memories that this place could manipulate.

[duranduel]

...

[But I want to.]

I...see. Well, if you want your vision back, then...

[godcards]

[ since he can argue about something now, he seems to be less sad, so that's cool ]

I can see fine. I just can't see colors anymore. It was worse... but that's why I traded. Three of us were nearly blind, and we wouldn't have been able to escape if we all lost our vision.
