[ why. that'd be an easier question to answer if vayne were better at conveying himself via words. he takes a few moments to collect his thoughts, before... ]

... I started thinking about doing this when we found out about the whole .... memory thing. Back then, we didn't know if it would get worse, so I thought ... No matter what someone did, it seems sad if we just forgot them, like they never existed.

I didn't really know any of them. [ maybe keito a little, that first week, but only him, and only for one week. ] So maybe I shouldn't be doing this at all, if I wasn't that close to them. But then, at the same time, I think... it's not really my place to decide who does or doesn't get to be remembered.

Being here at all is like we're... no, not forced. Coerced, right? It isn't— normal.

[ so maybe some of the victims or culprits might've been assholes. maybe what they did has nothing to do with the situation they're in here, and they would have done the same regardless of the terms hovering over them. but he can't judge them for things he doesn't know about, things that aren't here.

so. everyone gets a charm, victim or culprit. whether or not people leave it at that isn't up to vayne. ]
