What must you be thinking right now?
...
What paths have you traveled down since we've been apart?
...
I'm going to find you...
...
...find out what you've achieved...
...
...what you think of what's happened...
"...damn it..."
...what you've learned about yourself...
...
...I need your help...
"...damn it all..."
...but do you need mine?
...
...that's all I want to know...
'...removing her memory won't work. That'll only cause more problems than it fixes, and she feels bad enough about being weakened because of our battle as it is...'
...
'...and I'm not going to zap her emotions. I'm close enough to feeling nothing as it is, and I hate it. I WANT to be angry. At myself, at others, at things...' He clenches his hand into a fist, then unclenches it only a second later. '...and yet I can't. I can't afford to cause a scene, can't afford to lose it...I don't want to imagine what it's like to...be stuck like that. I'm almost certain she'd hate it, as she'd be the very thing which she doesn't want to be in the first place...and similar to the very thing she just destroyed in the rage she lost herself in...'
...
'...so that would only leave one option for a quick 'recovery'...@$!# it. We can't afford to wait for her to recover on her own...too much is happening...will happen...we have to do something, but nothing seems like it'll end well...'
...
'...I don't regret my choices...but damn it, I wish the world would slow down a little and give me even just a little breathing room sometimes...odds of that happening are probably about equivalent to the chances a Snorlax starts fasting, though...'
Reiner's quiet for a few minutes as he weighs each choice...
There is more to this than what Lilith just said. They aren't purely negative.
Reiner isn't quite sure he's not imagining things...
You aren't. We're subconciously reasoning through this. One option will make Mew super active and bouncy, and miserable beyond belief when she isn't. It took a Legendary power to break that previously. Easy to start, hard to leave. You've seen it happen before.
Another will make her logical and sharp as a tack, which does wonders for Psychic pokemon in particular, but cold and unfeeling...for the most part. Lilith might know of a way to help with a more realistic problem like that, though, if you choose to go down this route.
The third...she loses some of her memory and grows ever weaker...but with great weakness comes great strength, as you're well aware. She could grow stronger because of it, but that's a hard path to go down...so much could be lost, you'll probably question if it will all really be worth it. And it also takes a full day to enact this choice, too.
You don't have a full day.
...
...
He'd thought the T.U.V.E.I. had turned on earlier when this had happened previously...this...dual thought process...ugh, it was giving him another headache...
Well, that's what the aspirin is for.
-------------------------------------------------
A few minutes of thinking later, and Reiner has some questions for Lilith.
"So...you listed some ways to reverse some of the negative effects for two of those options...know anything that might help with that second choice? And...if we were to go with the second one, when would you start? Right away, or in the morning?"
