...It's seemed to me that you've been feeling that way for a while.

[He just didn't. say. anything...]

[scythegun]

[...]

You noticed and you didn't say anything? I was completely oblivious until only a short while ago!

[He. may be turning red again.]

[manufactured]

I did have every intention of turning you down, remember. Knowing that, pointing something like that out seems a bit cruel.

[scythegun]

I suppose that's true... I'm glad you didn't, though. I suppose that goes without saying, ja?

[manufactured]

Well, if nothing else, you'd be sending extremely mixed messages otherwise.

[Wesker, no.]

[scythegun]

[Why are you like this.]

Well, yes, I suppose so...

[manufactured]

[You chose this.]

...I still can't guarantee that I'm going to take practicality out of my decisions. I've already explained why I can't.

But perhaps it's all right, just this once.

[scythegun]

I understand. There's nothing wrong with considering everything from a practical angle - and in some cases that might even be for the best - but it's not something I can do all the time. I'm glad you're in agreement for this.

[He tightens his grip on Wesker's hand momentarily before relaxing again.]

I'll do my best to make sure you're happy with your decision!

[manufactured]

I doubt you'll have to do much.

[He's fairly sure he will be, regardless of what's done from here on.]

[scythegun]

[ c: !!]

I'm pleased to hear you have that much faith in me! Don't worry, I won't let you down~!

[manufactured]

...I don't see why I wouldn't. You've been important to me for a while.

[Which, in fairness, he did say. He just never really specified what was meant by that.]

[scythegun]

...How long have you been interested in me?

[how long has he just been completely oblivious to all of this, is it as embarrassing as he thinks it is]

[manufactured]

I didn't realize the extent of it until rather recently; I'd say it's been a while, though it's difficult to know for sure.

[scythegun]

I think it's been quite some time for me as well. It's sort of embarrassing that I didn't realize it sooner...

[manufactured]

...You began acting differently toward me around the end of August, though I don't know if that can just be attributed to everything that happened that month.

[scythegun]

Ja, that's what I was thinking as well. A lot did happen that month, but I think that was about when it started.

[It only took him this long to figure it out!! Good job, Jaeger!!]

[manufactured]

I see...

[...You look sort of like you want to die, are you okay.]

I didn't want to say anything at that point for multiple reasons - outside of everything in my memories regarding Excella, I was also having an...interesting time with Elda at that point.

[...HE IS NO LONGER SEEING ELDA dear god he wouldn't agree to this if he were]

[scythegun]

Oh, I almost forgot about that! I take it the two of you aren't seeing each other anymore?

[He doubts you'd agree to this if you were, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.]

[manufactured]

We came to a mutual understanding regarding the relationship at around that time - toward the end of August - though we've never properly discussed it in-depth.

[it's. complicated? he doesn't know.]

I'm still very fond of her, intensely so. But things have been better, since all of that. The nature of things has changed, at least.

[...IT'S COMPLICATED, HE DOESN'T KNOW.]

[scythegun]

Ah, I see. Obviously I can't complain about that, but I suppose it's good that the two of you are still on friendly terms!

[manufactured]

Of course we are.

[It wasn't like anything was terribly heated or anything, when it ended.]

...Along those lines, I remembered something else after our discussion that was surprisingly optimistic. I told you that I don't believe I'd had any relationships that were normal, as far as my memories go - apparently I was mistaken, with regards to that.

[scythegun]

Ah, really? Tell me more!

[If he sounds excited, it's because he is. Holy shit, that's such a good thing to remember? Maybe there's hope for you yet! (No.)]

[manufactured]

[...]

This happened before most of the other things I've recalled, I believe. But at one point I met a woman from eastern Europe. She had blue eyes, and the most striking red hair I'd ever seen... She had come to the States alone, and while I don't remember details regarding how we met, I do know that we were together for quite some time.

She...loved me, and she made certain that I knew that, and I did care for her - as much as I was capable, given the circumstances.

[You know. Having been raised in a murder dungeon and brainwashed to hell and back. That sort of does a number on your capacity to care for people, but there was a good faith effort put forth, apparently.]

It didn't end on terribly good terms, admittedly; there was a fight at one point, and... Well, I suppose she returned to Europe eventually, and we lost touch. I don't know what happened to her beyond that, but that's still more optimistic than anything else I've recalled regarding interpersonal relationships so far.

[...It's still a mess, but he was happy with her for a while and nobody died? That's got to count for something.]

[scythegun]

[All things considered, that is pretty good...]

I see. I'm glad you remembered something like that even if it didn't end well; it sounds like it was a mostly normal relationship, honestly!

[What a relief to hear...]

[manufactured]

...Once in a while, they're like that.

[It's similar to something he'd said after remembering Birkin a bit more; a lot of his memories are bad, but sometimes...]

There are a few people that I'm fairly sure I liked - my coworker that I've told you about, and that person on the force that I trained; there's someone else that I've been seeing recently in all this whatnot involving the fog, and now there's this woman as well...

Sometimes I remember things involving them, and it's surprisingly pleasant for the time that it lasts. It isn't all terrible, though a good amount of it is.
