Is it unreasonable to want to just forget about someone, even though the universe seems bound and determined to continuously remind you of their existence?

[Especially when this world apparently saw fit to give you a picture of someone you've been trying to just move on from. A picture that would probably be better left destroyed, yet...hasn't been.]

[...oh.]

...I received a picture, myself. Of the person I'm referring to.

Should I keep it?

[ratherbelocky]

ummm
if it makes you sad then maybe is not so good for look at it soon.
but if later there is more good for you, then you are together to the reminders picture if you keep it, and it is not gone. and maybe you laugh too even if there is hurt.

but also only if it is a pretty picture with colors.

[unkinder]

I don't think I want to look at it right now, no.

[It makes him angry more than anything, but at least that's an easier emotion for him to deal with than sadness.]

At the moment, I feel as if I wouldn't regret disposing of it. ...but perhaps later, I would.

It is very colorful.

[ratherbelocky]

colors are pretty! i like yellow. i hope there is a lot yellow on your picture.

you can put it away to a box and not look at. and then you have it in case for later.

[unkinder]

[There is a lot more pink and blue than yellow, but the colors of the photo seem vibrant enough to almost be real. It would be a good keepsake for anyone else, really...even him, if he had the capacity right now to appreciate it.]

I'll find something to do with it, I'm sure. I just...was not expecting to receive it.

[ratherbelocky]

is like surprise?
sometimes surprise is bad.

then people say sorry and buy drinks.
i can not buy drinks, so i say
sorry.
since the person give the reminders pictures is not here for understand why is can be bad.

[unkinder]

[Funny, he almost laughs at that.]

I'm not one who appreciates surprises much.

[He's also not old enough to drink so he feels you on that...]

[ratherbelocky]

my people too.
they are soldiers.

they punch surprise.

are you soldier?

[unkinder]

You could say that. I'm sure I'm a little different from the kind you're thinking of, though.

[ratherbelocky]

why different?

[unkinder]

It's difficult to explain. It isn't a concern here, anyway.

[ratherbelocky]

[But WHY.]

um
ok.
i do not understand but maybe you not punch surprise.

[unkinder]

[IT'S A SECRET.]

Perhaps not.

I appreciate your help. I wasn't sure if this post would end up doing me much good.

[But sometimes you just have to complain about stupid Johto shenanigans.]

[ratherbelocky]

um um!

[Wait, she knows this one, hold on.]

you are welcome!
i like help.

[A memory, one she's listened to a lot at the edge of York's dreams, comes to the surface. She waits a moment to parse it out.]

i am here to assist.
