[ There's a long pause before the messenger shows he's responding. Then it stops.
He's at a loss. He wants to believe her, badly, he knows Kaede has no reason to ever lie to him. Yet that doesn't mean she has full control in such matters either. Platitudes, that's what it feels like, platitudes spoken to keep him from further slipping away from that heroic being she looks up to. An intention he appreciates, yet it does nothing to ease his mind.
He responds in text, he's not sure his voice can be trusted right now. ]
This is not something that can be counted upon, regardless of intent. Taryon has returned from his own end, yet holds no memories. You may very well return from your own end, yet I do not believe you shall recall myself 😕.
This is not a thing for which I take issue with you, Kaede. It is not within any's control. Until then I shall continue to treasure the time I am able to share with you and the few others I count close ⏳.
