008 Things Aquired - [text;]

So here's a question for all of you. What's the furthest you've been from home? Before coming here, I mean. This place doesn't count. I want to know how far people have traveled before coming here.

The name of the place you're from, the name of the place you like going. What your favorite city is called. Things like that.

I've always liked traveling. But I used to spend years in one place, even so. Always found myself drawn back to where I was born. It's one of those interesting things about people. I don't exactly miss the place, but I do find myself thinking about it sometimes. What it would be like if we could go back with memories of this place instead of forgetting everything.

So there's a second part of my question, I guess.

Say you go home, but you remember everything from here. What would you do with that information?

What if you arrived home at a time before the last thing you remember?

Other people also have their reasons to go home.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound confrontational.

That's the difference between me and you. You call where you came from "home".

My home is here.

But there's no reason that you can't look for a way back. Unless that way back would wreck things for those of us who would rather stay here.

Everyone has their reasons, sir. I won't question yours.

It's not going to keep me from trying to leave but I'll keep that in mind. If I do find a way, it'll have to be so those who want to stay can.

Keep in mind that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Like I said. Everyone has their reasons. I didn't have doubts you were the only one who wanted to stay.

No one's going to force you to go back to your world.

Yeah. You're right.

I'm sure you'll go home eventually.

And it's good to hear you managed to find a place for yourself here.

Sorry. I don't think I got your name?

It's Greed. Odd name, I know, but it's my name.

How about you?

It's Yukio, sir. Yukio Okumura, in the Western order. Pleased to meet you.

The same to you.

How long have you been here if you don't mind my asking?

I think it's going to be a year pretty soon.

And you?

Four months. Not long at all compared to some people, but I've done well enough.

I know someone who's been here four years now. It surprises me really just how long some people have gone without being sent back.

But it's good to hear you've adapted well.

I know a few of those myself. Four years away from everything one knows is enough to change just about anyone.

How about you? Despite not wanting to be here, how have you been holding up?

A lot can happen in four years, after all.

I'm doing alright. Just worried about how my brother's holding up without me.

[ Rather, how much trouble he's caused without him. ]

A few months from now we're supposed to have one of those weird weekends again. Maybe he'll show up and you'll be able to ask him.

Who knows? The chances of him coming back are as good as any.

I'll just have to keep my eyes open, I guess.

Good luck.

You too.

With everything else you have planned for yourself here.

[ Well, hey, this guy wasn't so bad. ]
