Anyway, he pops the bubbles and some cool things happen, but he's not really focused on the plot of Disney's Frozen 1 and Frozen 2 at the moment, so every time he pops one that doesn't have Anna he just goes 'oh, sorry!' and pops another. I'll be self indulgent - he probably pops one or twocute memories (2:04 to 4:19) of his own; just short ones that got in the way. Anyway, his main reaction to Elsa's memories is just that Anna seems cute. A cute little sister, just like Elsa said. Not dependable and responsible like his own brother is, but it seems like Elsa is the one who tries to be responsible. Maybe because he's so unreliable as a big brother, that's why Ritsu has to be the way he is? But that thought is kind of okay, because Anna helps in her own way, doesn't she?
Anyway, when he's done, he'll nod, and take a moment to think about this.]
You said. . . you don't remember "her." Who did you mean? [By which he means - she doesn't remember the name "Anna" but she remembers someone.] Your sister? [Waiting to see if she reacts.] A person important to you?
wow maybe he should be focused on the plots of disney's frozen uno and dos, they're good films, mob. maybe she'll just think up the whole damn film now? and i make you watch a shitty camrip???]
My sister. I remember that much.
I remember I had--have a sister. That she's everything to me. But after that? Nothing.
Well. . . tell me if you can hear any of these things.
[He'll try saying a few more general things - hopefully general enough that they wouldn't get staticked out.]
She has a nice smile. It seems like she's the type who gets in trouble sometimes. You and she fight a little bit, which is good, right? She cares about you a lot, though.
[elsa looks at him, and blinks. with each statement mob makes, it's like listening to a radio underwater. clear, but simultaneously garbled in a way she can't quite put a finger on.
nothing he says makes any sense.]
I... don't know.
[it's impossible to explain the sense of confusion she feels.]
Ahh. Mm. Let's. . . let's talk about something else.
[Okay, he'll try a different tactic.]
Um. . . I know a girl at school named Anna. She has a nice smile. It seems like she's the type who gets in trouble sometimes. She has a sister, and they fight sometimes, but Anna and her sister really love each other.
it's... not not connecting. but it's almost like what should be bridging the thoughts is a bit short of its mark. a hand, repeatedly trying to hold on to an eel, alive and wriggling away.
elsa blinks again, and puts a hand to her head. part of the sentences mob said were quiet, part loud. fading in and out, like a radio.]
[Oh no. It's not working, either. He tried this, in part, on Hikaru, but it was a little easier - they were just talking about friends. So he could make up some friends he had who were like her friends, and promise to introduce them, and feel a little better.
But he can't help Elsa.]
. . . I'm sorry. I'm not sure I can help you remember.

Maybe you could imagine, even if you can't remember her, that your sister is a little like my friend. That way you have somebody to think about.

Thank you for trying. It's very kind of you to, and I appreciate it.

How are you taking it? These memories.
no subject
[He looks down a little.]
It's been. . . hard. I've had to remember something a few times now that I don't like thinking about.
no subject
I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds terrible. I hope you don't have to see it again.
no subject
[He'll reach to take her hand, if it's okay.]
It must be hard, too, seeing them and being reminded you can't remember her.
no subject
It's... it is what it is, I suppose.
[she's been crying all morning, but that's her reply. sure.]
I can't do anything about it. So I guess I just... get used to it.
no subject
[ . . . ]
Have you gotten any memories back yet, Elsa-san? I've gotten one.
no subject
[she sighs.]
...What was yours?
no subject
I got back my memories of my friend Dimple. So maybe you'll remember your sister again soon.
no subject
I really hope so.
