We have tried this in many places. While the first did not agree with my sensibilities, I can't say I had an bad time there. I met many people and it wasn't so bad. I do miss Francis at times yet.

Then there was Mayfield. And Siren's Port.

I don't wish to play the figure in your ideas. I have no hopes, mundane. If you'll pardon me sounding somewhat morose, hopes are for those who live.

Ah! You've missed me?

I meant a different Francis, one who resided on Atia while I was there.

... Though I suppose I have missed you as well.

[Oh, crush his poor little delicate heart, why don't you.]

[You'll get over it eventually. :|]

... but you at least missed me, too?

[ Survivor's guilt is a heavy thing for him, but. ]

... it would be good to see you again. Even if the circumstances aren't the best.

I'm not sure if 'best' circumstances do exist.

All things considered?

No, probably not.

All things considered, definitely not.

[ Wry, weak chuckle. ]

All right, definitely not.

It should be... interesting circumstances though.

[She looks thoughtful. Not that Joan ever looks something different than thoughtful, of course.]

Each time I leave one place, I forget. For one who ought to be dead, I have certainly had more chances to move past it than any other soul would.

[ But there's subtle differences between each of her thoughtful expressions. Even if they're really subtle. ]

That seems to be the way things work, regardless of what place anyone goes to. Even lesser people get the chance, again and again. But here, it'll be you and Marie who get the chance.

[Brows raise a touch at that.]

Marie? I see. I can't say I knew her well.

[Aside from the rumors after her leave. And Shiro's own stories.]

Neither did I, but now's the time to make up for that, I think.

Besides, so far we're the only two actually there. And after you, there's a chance the... Striker version of me will be coming, too.

[ NOT. HAPPY. ]

[Her expression darkens some at that.]

I didn't have a bad time with my own double. I assume most weren't quite as lucky then.
