[...something happens when maya says that. he seems to blink, trying to come back to his own head and he stares at her for a moment as he shakes his head.]

...I'm okay. [ARE YOU, TAICHI.] That wasn't a fair question, sorry.

[feytality]

[ she doesn't know what's happening, but she does know ]

.. You're not, though.... and it's okay. Just... talk to me, okay? I want to help.

[goalsides]

I don't...[there's a soft frown.] What is there to talk about, Maya? I'm not sure what's actually real and what isn't about this place.

[feytality]

Maybe... if you talk it through, it'll help you sort it out. I could... maybe help too. Like.. letting you know, if something doesn't sound right.

[ like a cross-examination... ]

[goalsides]

...I don't want to talk about it. I don't. [he takes a breath because he's not mad at her, but he seems really resistant to a lot of that.]

...I lost a lot of memories. I'm trying to remember what ones are mine and what ones aren't.

[feytality]

[ hesitates but... ]

Okay.... I don't want to force you, or anything.

Is there anything you do want to talk about? Even if it's just, um, old memories... or anything....

[goalsides]

...[there's a half-smile.]

...you're a good friend, you know that? [he's just rubbing his good hand over his face tiredly.] Even my old memories are messed up. I lost most of the most important ones. My family, my friends...Agumon. Everything disappeared and got replaced.

[feytality]

You're a good friend, Taichi. I'm just returning the favor.

[ giving his good arm a little pat ]

.... I know how that feels, a little. [ .... ] But your real feelings can't be erased that easily, you know?

[goalsides]

[he seems to contemplate that.]

How do you know what's even real after a while, Maya?

[feytality]

[ i've been having these weird thoughts lately.... like, is any of this for real... or not? ]

For me, just... doing something that I used to do, helped set everything back into place. But I think that deep down, your heart knows.

[ fuckin gay ]

[goalsides]

...that's a nice thought. [he means that even if it sounds kinda facetious, nodding along.] Maybe that's true in some cases.

[feytality]

I think it is. Maybe you just need a little.. jolt, to get things back in the right place. For Nick and I, it was being in court again.... maybe you just need to try things out, until something feels right.

[ sing the digimon dub theme ]

[goalsides]

...I think I kind of just wanna go back to the dorm and try to figure stuff out. Maybe that'll help.

[feytality]

That's a good idea... I think. You have a lot of memories there.

[ ... ]

I'll walk you there. But... if you want to be alone after that, I can go.

[goalsides]

...I'll decide when we get there. I'm not sure yet. But we can walk back.

[feytality]

Okay.

[ offers her arm to his good side ]

[goalsides]

[he will hesitantly take it.]

Let's go. [and they will go off to fall dorm and this thread will be wrapped!]
