...oh and you can't get in or out right now. H m m m.]

[She jumps a bit at first when she's caught but then smiles--]

Yes! [...] But even I don't know exactly what all I'm looking for!

[longredribbon]

Well, sometimes we do find what we're wanting without exactly looking for it in the first place.

[wonderofwonders]

--oh!

[Thinking about it for a moment--]

But if I find something else I want by accident... what if I forget to keep looking for whatever it was I was supposed to be looking for in the first place?

[longredribbon]

Who says you can't want more than one thing, or at the same time, hm?

[wonderofwonders]

--! Wow! You're right! There's no reason, nope!

[longredribbon]

See? Now you can explore and discover all you want.

[wonderofwonders]

I sure can--!

After all, that's how I found you, right~?

[longredribbon]

Exactly.

[so amused (she's too cute!)]

My name is Wei Wuxian. Have you been able to figure out a name for yourself yet?

[wonderofwonders]

[She seems to bounce his name around in her head a bit before quietly--]

Weiwu...?

[She nods energetically; looking quite satisfied with herself.]

His Majesty gave me the name Persicaria!

[longredribbon]

[Smiling a bit, he'll sound it out for her, "way woo-shii-ahn"]

—You're welcome to call me Lotus, if that's easier for you. It's the name I originally was given.

[Even a part of his profile, actually.]

[longredribbon]

"His Majesty". . .?

[It's his turn to briefly sound out her name.]

A pleasure, Persicaria.

[wonderofwonders]

Oh... well, they're both really great names. But... if you found your real name again, you must be really happy that you can use it. So I don't mind calling you Wei Wuxian!

[...she says it just fine, without skipping a beat... which means she had it just fine earlier and shortened it entirely on purpose.]

[longredribbon]

It does make me happy. To be completely honest, I actually have all of my memories. I didn't for my very initial time here, but then I came back remembering everything. So. . . Although I still do like Lotus, I also want to stay true to myself, and continue to be who I am.

[wonderofwonders]

I'm really happy for you! That's a really special accomplishment! And you should treasure those memories, so you never have to lose them again.

[longredribbon]

. . .

[He almost doesn’t know how to react to such sincerity.]

Ah. . .thanks. I know I’m in a bit of a different position than most who are here. I’ll never take it for granted.

[wonderofwonders]

[When he says that, she bites her lower lip thoughtfully and nods.]

But... just because your situation is different from most of ours doesn't mean it's not really difficult. Maybe... even more so then we can imagine right now.

[longredribbon]

[ He hadn't even considered that perspective. ]

. . .You're very kind, Persicaria.

[wonderofwonders]

...you think so?

[She scratches her cheek sheepishly.]

I just said what I was thinking. I think it would be hard to miss something as much if you don't know what it is you're missing. [...] But once you know what's missing, you can't go back to the way things were before you remembered. It would be hard not to think about something like that.
