I remember now... I have a brother. A twin brother. His name is... His name...

I can't remember it. [ the frustration can be heard in her voice ] It feels as though it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't draw it forth.

Well, you do have amnesia. Don't fret; you'll remember him one of these days.

[cantlearnbreak]

I know... I just... I'm sure he's very important to me.

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Of course he is! He's family, isn't he?

[cantlearnbreak]

Yes... [ trails off. she's wondering what he's like, what sort of relationship they had as siblings... ]

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Well, there you have it!

Say, have you been exploring yet?

[cantlearnbreak]

Not outside the city limits. I don't think I could handle the monsters I've heard so much about.

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Now that's why you go with someone who can handle monsters!

[He's flexing at the phone, despite just being on audio.]

[cantlearnbreak]

I can't do much of anything myself, though. I'd get in the way.

... I thought having no memory at all was bad. But only having partial memories of someone important to you... [Yeah, that would really suck.] I'm sorry.

[cantlearnbreak]

Thank you... I'm sure that someday I'll remember, but...

[magicgunworks.livejournal.com]

I hope that day comes soon.

Is there anything else you remember, aside from the fact that he was your twin? Do you remember what he was like at all?

[cantlearnbreak]

Let me think... He looks very much like myself, but he wears his hair in a braid. And... And he's very intelligent, but... [ but what? ] I know that there is a "but", but... I don't know what it is.

[magicgunworks.livejournal.com]

... Hmm. That can be either a good thing or a bad thing. Do you have any idea which it is?

[cantlearnbreak]

I haven't a clue. But I don't get the impression that he was a bad person.

[magicgunworks.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good then! Perhaps that just means he's intelligent but... lazy. Or something similar.

A twin brother..?

[ A pause to consider this. ]

Does he look like you? Maybe if you show me a picture of yourself, I can tell you if I've seen him around here.

[cantlearnbreak]

He does. I remember that, at least. But he wears his hair in a braid.

[ she turns the video function on and smiles into the camera. ]

[gandere]

[ In return, she'll do the same. There's hardly any malice in her eyes as she stares the other down. ]

A braid? I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone who looks like you though. [ Turning down the corner of her lips. ] Sorry.

[cantlearnbreak]

Well... thank you very much, ma'am. I appreciate the offer.

[gandere]

If I find him, who should I call for? It'd be embarrassing to tell them I found their twin who's name I don't know or er.. remember even.

[ For all she knows, this could be someone she used to hang out with. ]

[cantlearnbreak]

Oh! I'm so sorry. My name is Porom, to the best of my recollection. [ a slight bow toward the camera. ] It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[gandere]

Hey, you're the nicest person I've met in this place so far. I don't think I've seen anyone with such proper manners until now.

[ Oh, speaking of manners! ]

Ah! That's right! My name is Rin. [ Waving a hand as a nervous gesture. ] It's great to meet you too!

[cantlearnbreak]

Thank you. I just do my best... [ a little sheepish. she's not sure why she's so polite... ] Thank you, Miss Rin.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful though! Now you know that you have family! I hope you remember more about him soon!

[cantlearnbreak]

So do I. I wonder what having a brother is like... I hope we're very good friends.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Hrm... I wonder what it would be like too. I haven't recalled any family, myself... But I'm sure you were good friends! If you hope it was so, then it must have been important to you... so I'm sure it must have happened!

[cantlearnbreak]

I'm sure you're right, when you put it that way!

My name is Porom, I think. What's yours, ma'am?

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's Yomiko, Yomiko Readman! My last name is the only thing I've remembered about myself so far... it's nice to talk to you, Porom!

[cantlearnbreak]

It's very nice to meet you too, Ms. Readman.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Oh, y-you can just call me Yomiko, if you like.

I hope we both get some more good memories soon!

[cantlearnbreak]

Ah, all right, then, Yomiko. Thank you.

So do I. Good luck with yours!

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

And you with yours!
