[there is a very pleased-looking Orion making her way back from the arena, holding a handful of berries]

Hey, look! We won a game!

You too. I haven't really spoken to much of anyone outside my team, yet.

Good thing Kelvin gets excited easily, yeah?

He bolted out of there like he was on fire.

Hope it was a'least a good memory that made him run that fast.

Well, he sure looks happy about it.

Always a good sign.

He's cheerful most of the time anyway.

Yeah ... so how long've you been here? You said haven't talked to much of anyone yet, right?

I think it's five or six days... there was that strange thing at the arena in between, so I'm not completely sure.

[oh ... oh]

... Were you in the pillar, too?

...yeah.

D'you remember much?

Enough to wish I didn't remember any at all.

[takes a few steps closer to him, squeezes his arm]

My team really helped me. I couldn't calm down for the first coupla days.

...it was rough, yeah. I was so exhausted by the time I got down here that I just threw myself into bed and slept. I think that helped.

You still put off by the walls and stone bits?

Yes. I try not to think about it, but I don't think it's something I can really help. I mean, I can touch them if I want to.

I just don't.

Right there with you, mate.

[sigh]

Do you get nightmares about it?

Every night, still.

Mmm.

Maybe it'll go away once we remember more about ourselves. Right now... it's like all I ever knew before waking up.

I was in a real state when I got here, all I could remember was my name and ... the mouth.

[shivers, not as much as she used to, but it's still noticeable]

[grimaces a bit]

I don't even remember waking up, not really. I just sort of came to when I was already getting away from the thing. Spent a lot of time focusing on anything else around me.

Sounds 'bout right.

[squeezes his arm again, dropping her hand ... then lightly shoves at his arm with her elbow, smiling a little]

But it's getting better, yeah?

...yeah, bit by bit.
