[ hm. well, that's something unexpected, a little. ]
A little weird to think you're laid to rest only to get yanked back up to go through this shitshow, huh. [ no, yeah, they can see fidelio's point a little better. ] ... does it help having a little more time with him here?
I mean, I don't mind bein' back, it's just... I dunno.
[ looks off for a few seconds... he has so many complicated feelings about it. ]
When we first got here, I was torn on it pretty much fifty-fifty. Hated that his bein' here meant he was dead instead of living the life he should've had, but glad for every extra minute.
With all the shite that's been happenin' since, though, I just want him out of here safe.
[ they patiently wait for him to gather his thoughts, sipping their drink to not crowd him. ]
... yeah, I think that makes sense. I don't think there's anything wrong with being happy for the company, but you always want what's best for the people you care about. Even if it might not be with you in the end. [ but... ] If you thought you could go back and Basilio wouldn't lose any of his power, would you?
[ there's so much besides what he said, even — on one hand, that basilio's been through so much and grown up so much in that one month without him that he feels sort of lost sometimes now; on the other, that he's afraid of his own presence undoing some of that progress and holding him back again just like he used to. ]
Yeah. Already promised him I would if it was possible.
[ which he also has complicated mixed feelings about, but. ]
[ it's still a complicated scenario, they think. ]
I still don't think it's entirely possible. But I do think as long as you're both here, it can't hurt to figure out some kind of plan and idea of what life might look like when you're both together again. Knowing what you know now.
[ if we weren't sitting at the bar right now he could just memshare this ]
Archetype's what they call 'em. Don't know how to explain it exactly, but it's somethin' you have to awaken to, and then you can take on this other stronger form and use magic without igniters.
The one Bas has is both ours together — after I died, my magla sort of melded with his, and that's when he awakened to it. So. Got no idea how the hell that'd work if we were alive at the same time again, if it'd have to get ripped outta him to come back to me or what.
[ well. this is out of their league again, but also they seem to get the idea. ]
And I'm guessing there's no easy way for you to share the same amount of... magla? To create the two Achetype's. Or another way to form the Archetype he has while keeping yours with you. If it's something to awaken to maybe there's a way for you to both wake up.
...Honestly, I got no idea. Weren't exactly thinkin' through the logistics when I did it.
[ he was just following his semi-ghost intuition...
hm. he takes a drink, considering this. ]
I think... it's possible to transfer magla to somethin' else? Without dyin', I mean. So maybe I could just sort of loan part of mine out to him while he's fighting so he can keep usin' it, and I get it back after...?
[ can't wait for metaphor golden royal reload to actually have an answer for this in three years ]
Shite, I don't know. S'pose I can ask Eupha, she knows how that stuff works better than I do.
Yeah, like... uh, what's it called. A partition? A certain amount set aside just for Basilio, and then the rest for you. It's a thought.
[ a stretch of a thought, but a thought that i'm sure atlus will pull anyway. ]
Sorry. [ a little amused for the asking. ] I know my job here is to listen but sometimes I guess I ask questions for solutions. You've probably got enough to worry about without adding that, but... might not be a bad thing to consider before judgment day anyway.
That makes two of us. I'm not great at being idle. And... even if there's not much I can do right now, sort of what I'm doing here. Extra ears and ideas for whatever you might not want to tell anybody else. Or can't, even. Sometimes new perspectives help.
Not a Guardian Angel, so I don't have the same criteria they do. Since they're the ones officially here to help you, it was more important for you to see them.
