Hey.

You're not busy right now, are you?

[ When he receives her text, he's honestly really relieved. He hasn't confided in anyone about how worrisome his memories have been. ]

You caught me at a good time, I'm free.
But I'll always make time for you.

Thanks for texting me.

That's cute. ☆

[ She can't help but be relieved, just a little bit. ]

You're welcome. Unless you preferred to hear my voice? I just texted you just in case you had a preference. So, you brought up memories earlier, right? Did you want to talk about that?

As much as I would like to hear your voice, texting will work.

[ Mostly because he doesn't want to sound even more worried than he already has been through text. ]

I do. It's about what I mentioned earlier. Given the fact that I was fighting people in a war. The natural conclusion to make is that I... killed people.

[ Mio will have to apologize but it. . . takes her quite a bit to respond, half because she's trying her best to figure out what to say, not to mention that she's also not sure how she feels.

But-- ]

It's okay.

If it's a war, I won't judge you for that, you know. But I have to ask. Did you enjoy it?

[ Leon doesn't blame her one bit because when he sent that message, he was scared as to how she would react. He loves her a lot and it would pain him if she looked down on him. ]

Thanks Mio. I don't know. I can't recall exactly how I felt.

Since it was war, I suppose it was more of a sense of duty on my part?

You're welcome.

But if it's a sense of duty... I think that's not a bad thing. It's better than someone who kills just for the joy of it, you know.

Yeah, I agree with that.

Unfortunately, I can't remember everything to say for sure. I don't think it's the case at all but if it comes down to that. I'll...

be certain to tell you.

Don't worry.

Even if it's the case... I still won't judge you.

Because I

Because I?

Mio. Did something else happen?

Ah, crap... you weren't supposed to see that. If I said no, I'd be lying.

Well of course and I would absolutely call you out on it.

I'm here if you want to talk about it. You can talk to me about anything.

Can I call you?

[ She doesn't want to do this over text, even if it'd be so much easier. ]

Please do. I want to hear your voice, Mio.

[ He feels a bit bad for not switching earlier but he didn't want to worry Mio even more. With her, he's ready to talk and listen to her via voice. ]

[ She's not mad or upset with him for not doing so, but eventually she calls him, taking a deep breath before answering with the cheeriest voice she can muster. ]

Hello hellooooo☆ Can you hear me?

[ When he hears that cheery voice, it's a relief but at the same time it triggered some red flags. It bothered him that she might be trying to mask her problems and it's evident he's concerned with the worried tone in his voice. ]

I can hear you.

[ He pauses. ]

and I'm ready to listen to you whenever you are ready.

Ahaha...

[ Mio laughs a little awkwardly, twirling a strand of hair around her finger even though he can't see it. ] I didn't get to tell you this earlier, but— ah. I was attacked by someone a few days ago.

[ Angry boyfriend.exe needs to reboot and will be active in 3...2... 1....]

Who attacked you?! [ Just like that, his concerned nervous voice immediately switches to a much more angry tone as he's practically shouting through the phone. Not only was he mad at the assailant, but also himself for not being there for her. ] How are you? Did you get hurt?!

I'm fine. It was a while ago.

[ Like... near the end of the month, while ago. Four days ago, to be more precise, actually. ]

It was this- [ ... she usually doesn't curse, but this is well deserved: ] this bastard. I think he was an albino with blue eyes. But don't worry! Really. I managed on my own.

[ That's the biggest lie she's said in a while - since yeah, she did get hurt - but she can't have Leon dealing with that guy. Even if he's angry, the person who attacked her... he isn't normal. ]

I did remember something because of that, though.

It's not fine, I'm livid that some asshole assaulted you. Seriously, if I find the person that did that to you, I will give him hell.

[ He's trying not to yell into the phone since he didn't want to hurt her eardrums but he's so pissed off that some jackass hurt his girlfriend. He knew that Mio's capable but he was still concerned. Just thinking about someone laying a hand on her worried him sick.

The next thing she says causes an alarm to go off in his head. Considering what she's remembered already, he's immediately worried. ]

... What did you remember?

Mm...

[ She's quiet, trying not to show that she's bothered in her voice. Then again, Mio's pretty good at preventing the tremble to settle there. Even if there's gratitude at how protective he is. ]

I remembered threatening to kill someone. And that I actually did hurt someone pretty badly with a chair.

[ He's surprised to hear that. There's a bit of silence on his end, because he wasn't quite sure what to say. He just knew that he wasn't going to judge her. ]

... Do you remember what that person did to you?

[ Surely there was a reason she hit someone with a chair in the first place. ]

He...

[ Mio's voice is hesitant and she has to hitch a breath just to think straight. It's hard to say, just how much her memories bother her. But she can at least try. ]

I said I was trying to threaten to kill someone, right? Well, this person was trying to stop me from killing that person.

[ He could almost hear the hesitation in her voice. It must be hard for her to talk about this, or any of her memories in fact. From what she's told him, he doesn't recall a single one that was good. ]

Don't worry, Mio. I'm not going to judge you.

[ No matter what, he was going to stay by her side. Besides, his recent memories weren't the best and it's sad that he could almost relate to her. ]

Do you remember why you were going to kill someone?

[ Hearing those words is always reassuring to her, and it makes her relax, just a little bit. ]

I'm glad...

[ She almost sounds like she's on the verge of tears, but there's something about her voice that seems. Relaxed? ]

I wanted to save someone, apparently. From... a horrible, horrible person.
