[ Hei looked sadly out into the garden, hands curling around his knees. ]

But how could he ask that, if he meant for all mankind to be a hollow replica? It would be selfish to want only you by his side.

[ selfish and cowardly. Hei would not begin to understand the things Tear had been through, the way her brother thought, but he knew that much at least. No one could be a replacement, not even one's self. But he could try and try he did, for Tear's sake. ]

He fully believed he was doing what was necessary to save humanity: erasing both impending fate and the mistakes of the past, and making a completely fresh start for history. Perhaps he thought he was allowed to have that one selfish thing with all the blood he soaked his hands in for his perceived greater good.

[She gives a shake of her head at nothing in particular, mouth drawn into a perfect line, before glancing back to Hei and studying him for a silent moment] I'll never know the thoughts, feelings or desires that he kept hidden. I can only guess. It's all I end up doing when I think about him, wondering "why". [A small, humorless smile]

I wonder when that will stop.

[ his own twisted in a grimace, giving lie to her smile as he immediately caught on to her meaning. It was not so difficult; Tear was speaking plainly. ]

It won't. Not even if you forget. [ because the one universal truth he had discovered was that all lost memories left an echo, an emptiness that the bearer could feel and touch and then loose like water dripping from one's hand. It marked them and in marking, made them wonder. ]

But with time, you might learn to care less. [ time was the great healer, or so he had been told. He could believe it now, five years after Pai had disappeared. ]

[That might make things easier. But to her, now, caring less is the start of the Major's... Van's path. At what point can you stop the not caring before it's all already gone? There's a thin railing separating strong and jaded, and though sometimes it felt like she'd leaned over it a little to the latter, she hadn't quite got there. She doesn't want to be, to fall completely]

I won't forget. And even though he did, I won't stop caring-- that's one "lesson" I'll fully use my stubbornness against. [Her smile hardens despite her light words, and her eyes set in that very determination]

So I'll be stuck with it forever, or either find peace my own way.

[ his own return smile is thin and veiled, understanding implicit. ]

Then I will hope peace finds you.

[ He's certain Tear won't look for it herself, and there's, quite frankly, little else he can say on the subject. She's already told him far more then he ever expected. Standing, easing himself to his feet, he gave Tear another nod, one of many throughout this conversation. ]

Don't work too hard today. You need your rest as well.

[ and her health ]
