[Guess who's been back for a few hours now? It's been quite some time! Oh how horrible life must have been without the shining optimism of this royal troll.]

...Hello? Anyone? Am I using this right...

[He sounds familiar, but there is an unsettling lack of hostility and anger in the curious voice.]

May I keep this? ...Book?

I hope so.

[He opens the door when he sees that it isn't one of the people Nepeta would apparently have to protect him from. Asuka will notice just how much blood the troll's shirt is stained with. You can hardly make out the Sagittarius symbol.]

I'd like to know how this would all be explained at any rate...

[He slides his hands into his pockets. An act most befitting and out of the norm for Equius.]

I suppose I know you... Or that you know me?

[Asuka quirks an eyebrow at that, but he doesn't say anything aloud about it. Equius doesn't remember anything, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't remember anything about how he usually acts, either. Right?]

Yeah. I met you when you first got here.

[He's a little bit uncertain as to whether or not he should say it, but he's going to figure it out soon enough, so...]

I don't know how easy it's going to be for you to hear this-- [Although who knows, maybe "death" won't mean anything to him yet?] --but... all the blood, the memory loss... it means you died.

Oh... How long ago was that?

[He's silent as Asuka explains, a frown slowly creeping over his face. He lets out a long sigh before he speaks.]

I see. I guess I'd be feeling a lot worse if I had stayed dead, though. So there's that... Any idea how I might have died?

A few weeks ago.

[Oh, good. He took that almost as well as Asuka could have possibly hoped.]

Yeah, you came back. So I guess it was more like going to sleep for a while and waking back up whole again, right?

I don't know how you died exactly, but... [Pause.] It probably wasn't very pleasant. Sorry.

Ah... Not much about this place I could have forgotten, then. Still, I'd like to at least remember something from before this Keep..

[Wait till he's normal, Asuka. Fits and prideful rants EVERYWHERE.]

That's how it felt, I guess. Can't really explain it any other way.

[He raises an eyebrow, looking down at his blood-caked shirt.]

I suppose it wasn't very pleasant, huh. That's not going to be very nice to remember..

You will. Maybe you should reread your journal. It'll tell you more about the keep that you've forgotten... and you'll be able to see anything that you said to anybody else, too. It may help you to remember.

[Fits and prideful rants? He wouldn't have it any other way!]

When you do remember how you died... it might be a good idea to find one of your friends. You can get a hold of me, if you'd like. Nobody should be alone remembering that.
