waffling over canon point/voice/everything

[egregoris]

Lady Two... Llllady Twooo...

[He rolls his tongue around the name, as though it's more of a rare delicacy he can't quite make his mind up about than two words that keep niggling at the back of his mind. Lately, saying it almost feels nostalgic. Saying it almost gives him butterflies.]

Hmm... I just can't seem to shake that name from my head. Feels like it must be important, somehow...

[Somehow, and yet... He shakes his head, and brushes his hair from his face; his expression relaxes into that same, lopsided grin that it usually sports. A habit, when he's throwing things under the rug.]

Ah, well. It's just another curse of possessing such a wide, all-encompassing spectrum of knowledge, I suppose! Even a genius like me isn't free of those nasty little tidbits that just won't give in no matter how hard you swat at 'em, after all. [It's hard being Cent, and all that.] You know what they say about 'great intellects,' right?

Cent? Cent! You're - [Oh. . . oh no! He didn't, it couldn't, but how could he forget her?]

You - You forgot about me Cent?

[egregoris]

[So much for leaving those thoughts to another restless night in the middle of nowhere. Honestly? He's not sure what to think of her.]

Lady Two... [Did her voice become so sad because he left her? He steps over to her, shakily.] O-Of course not, my lady! You're... How could I ever...?

[broken_song]

I-I thought that we were- that you-

[She's broken without you Cent, how could you have forgotten her, was she really that worthless and helpless? First the children, now her own disciple, what had she done wrong?]

Why Cent? Why?

IM SORRY FOR the tl;dr //

[egregoris]

[For a voice as sweet-sounding as Two's, hearing those words hurts his ears -- and his heart. Is this how she's felt for the days since his departure? For weeks, even? Even with his memories betraying him, Cent can hear it clear as day: he's hurt her, somehow.

And no case of sudden amnesia can excuse a sin like that.]

'Why'? Heh... It'd be nice if I only knew the answer to that one. [It's soft; spoken to himself in a sigh. Incredulous, if nothing else. For an idiot like him, it's a challenge trying to work out why standing before Two makes him feel as warm as it does when he's never seen her in person before, yet he can't quite bring himself to accept that this isn't where he belongs. He hasn't been able, since the night Zero first mentioned her name.]

Well, now that we're here... I suppose I owe a doozy of an apology, don't I? Sounds like I messed up pretty badly back there... [It sounds like a lie. What else can he do, though, for this girl he doesn't know, but ask forgiveness for actions that he can't recall nor escape? To try to mend the wounds he's caused.] How could I have possibly had it in me to abandon such a sweet, fair young lady...?

Don't apologize it's wonderful~

[broken_song]

[Cent, Cent was the only thing that Two had left. Everything else was gone, her reason for trying, for holding back that power inside of her, for trying and living in the world. All of that had been gone and to think that he might have forgotten her, it was enough to break her all over again.]

I can't go on. Not without you.

Will you really stay with me this time?

Are you familiar with Nostalgia Critic?

You know, it's sadly not much of a surprise that so few of you guys are popping up around here.
