There are things I can’t remember, too.

I’ll remember for both of us!

[shangba]

What do you wish to know?

[emperorssmile]

I’m not really sure.

I’ll tell you next time you or someone else brings up something that happened back in my first life that I can’t recall.

[shangba]

If... I enjoyed you while drunken. Possessed of greater force.

May I trust you were not unwilling?

[emperorssmile]

I was more than just willing. I was the one to start it.

[shangba]

Show me, one day.

[emperorssmile]

Sure. It might feel more… juvenile than what we usually do.

[shangba]

In ways unwelcome?

[emperorssmile]

Welcome ways. I enjoyed every second of it.

[shangba]

Then, nothing to fear.

Want to live and remember everything with Wei Ying.

[emperorssmile]

I want that, too. I never want to forget another moment with you.

[shangba]

Shall feed Wei Ying daily ginger.

[emperorssmile]

Do you think that will help me remember more of our time together in my first life?

[shangba]

I do not wish to create expectations.

But there are techniques to raise memories from spirits.

[emperorssmile]

I want to try it. If it doesn’t work, then it’s not like I lose anything by trying.

I’ll wait so we can do it together.

[shangba]

And if you do not enjoy your recollections?

[emperorssmile]

They’ll still be mine. There’s lots of things I don’t like thinking about, but they’re still parts of me.

[shangba]

Then, let us attempt.

[emperorssmile]

Sure!

I know there’s a lot that I don’t remember clearly. All those conversations we had when we were young.

And that time you were there for me after what happened at the Nightless City. I know that one isn’t going to be pleasant, but I can handle it with you there with me.

[shangba]

I do not know that is best remembered.

[emperorssmile]

Yeah, you’re probably right. How about next time you remember something I can’t, we can try it then?

[shangba]

...so be it.

[emperorssmile]

Are you worried?

[shangba]

Always.

[emperorssmile]

We can do nice memories first just to see if it works. There’s no harm in that, right?
