[ it's time for some memory roulette,
ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY?! ]

[It takes him a while to run through it all; it goes on for quite some time, until he's breathing hard and the neat landings aren't quite so neat anymore]

[When he finally winds down he turns toward her, heading over to flop in the grass beside her]

Hey.

[Looks out to the empty training ground]

...Good workout?

Yeah.

S'kinda nice to've finally shaken that cough.

It's been a while...stretching out must feel good.

[Watches him]

Real good.

I was doing better yesterday, but I think I'm about back to normal now.

That why the special occasion?

What, for the floor routine?

For the memories, but that too...

Oh. I guess just... I was thinking about stuff from before, after that one game.

Ah...

...Get the answers you were looking for?

I mean... not really.

...Get about what you expected, then?

Not what I wanted, but... yeah. About what I expected.

[Reaches out, offering a hand]

[Takes it, careful, and gives it a squeeze]

Was kinda hoping to get something early, for once, with my ma or my sister.

[Squeezes back, solid]

...You ain't had nothing with her in a long time. Never the ones you want, right?

...yeah. I mean, you ain't wrong.

...Guess you could just keep trying...see what you get.

You think I should?

Up to you. If you're ready to tap out, then tap out. But if no matter what, you know you wanna remember your sister... Playing 'til you get one or replaying an old one's the only way.

Maybe that's enough gacha for one day.

...might go again in like a week or something, though.

Makes sense. Prolly smarter that way...

[A pause]

...I might try some later, too. I guess.

Oh yeah?

Well... I'll keep an eye out.

It'll prolly be something dumb, so you don't gotta stress about it. I'll let you know if I remember anything worthwhile.

Hey, even dumb stuff's good sometimes.
