[ he remembers some things, not all. hardly enough to be called pieces, but faces are there. voices, too. words if he can understand the voices. the days spent in the maw of the ship remain mostly out of reach, but the darkness did not give much to begin with.
he remembers this face.
he approaches, with all the awkwardness of the recently dead. ]
I must thank you for your efforts on the mission. And for the hindrances I caused the team, I apologize.

[ his voice isn't gentle, no, but the sentiment is there no less. he turns to look at him, eyes tired — far too accustomed to this. ]
You weren't a hindrance. You shouldn't talk about yourself like that.
don't oniichan me i've been at this game a lot longer than you
[ he smiles, not without some weariness, but it's clearly a gesture of assurance. ]
I... don't remember much, admittedly. I wished to ensure you and the others were alright.
[ there's a pause. ]
The child--they are... ?
[ he has yet to see them. ]
stop is there a BROTHER in your name?i i think the fuck not
[ there's a curt nod of the head. the weariness is noted, however, and nier steps a bit closer. ]
The battle's over. You don't have to think about it anymore. But you should get some rest.
[ and a beat before he raises a single hand. ]
I can take care of you.
[ said without an ounce of hesitance. ]
im a fucking steward have a seat
he takes a step back, drawing a hand in front of himself as if he were raising a shield. ]
No, I...
[ it sounds almost like a plea.
was he truly so weak as to draw a stranger's pity?
in his reflection he becomes conscious of his rudeness, and quickly he drops his hand and straightens his posture. ]
You are kind. Truly. But I am in no need of such attention.
[ his face has returned to a mild and even expression, as has his voice. he wills another smile. ]
Please save your considerations for yourself. They will be more wisely spent.
