392 - Kite Mingle

[If you're outside today it will be hard to miss all the whimsical, high-flying kites. Might as well get some of your own or spend some time getting them out of trees.]

[The explanation isn't all that important to him. It's background that he filters away somewhere, but his mind is already moving ahead to the more important point: He could get his memories back.

He knows some things. He knows he came from Mussolini's Italy. He knows the second World War was spreading through Europe when his family fled to America. He knows how his mother died. He knows all of that was erased before he was pushed seventy years forward in time.

He knows he has a sister. Had. He loved her more than anything. Still does. But his memories of her amount to handful of months. Not even a year.]

If you think you can, I... How... What would I have to do?

It's pretty easy, actually.

[To be honest, there's nothing to actually do. It's a simple procedure, but she'll still double check that he's all right with it.]

All I have to do is touch your head. You don't have to worry about doing anything. But- if you do allow me to draw up those memories, they are memories that I'll witness, too. I can't drag them back up without experiencing them myself. At least some of them.

	[Oh. It wouldn't be the first time someone had been witness to his memories. The only difference here is that he has no idea what those memories are. Either way, he's not exactly thrilled with the prospect. Could they be as bad as or worse than the last four years? He doubts it.] Will you only see the recovered memories, or... or all of them?

	Well... [She frowns, brows knitting] I don't suspect that I would get too much beyond that, but I can't promise that glimpses aren't still possible. I can only tell you that I would not go personally looking for them. [For all of how curious she can be sometimes, she's not nosy when something might be personal, or if someone wants it kept private to begin with.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He nods. He can't say that he fully trusts her - he trusts very few people. But Yuuri had been fond of her, and he trusted Yuuri immensely. He's willing to let her into his head, if that's the trade off.] Okay. Please try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If you're ready then, okay...?

[The build up is disappointing, if he expects a great affair. But she herself prepares, knowing what it is like to feel another's emotions and memories wash over her. And should it work, the onslaught of memories could be difficult for him, too.

Hand lifting up, she hesitates a moment... before her fingers gingerly brush his bangs aside, and then gently touches his head. And the moment she does, immediately she submerges her conspicuousness within his mind. At once she spreads throughout, sinking deep within and pulling upon memories, and moving to repair any anomalies or blockages that prevents them.]

[He tenses and holds his breath, though he doesn’t know what to expect. He doesn’t want to get his hopes up. His current memories are mostly painful and miserable. What he does remember of his life before Bianca died and everything spiraled downward is distorted and fuzzy, like trying to piece together a television program through heavy static.

He doesn’t regain his lost childhood. Maybe those parts of him are lost down the River Lethe forever.

But Yuuki does untangle a more recent memory. All he really remembered was rage, and screaming, and then seeing the looks on Coach Hedge and Reyna’s faces before he collapsed. It could have been the trauma of the act, or some kind of mental self-defense, or maybe his body gave up the memory because it was dying anyway.

Bryce Lawrence was in front of them, threatening them with execution and torture. He’d called up skeletal soldiers that Nico couldn’t control or destroy – oathbreakers. Nico was fading, his hands transparent and smoky. One more jump through the shadows would end him. And then Bryce attacked Reyna.

It was more the threat to expose her darkest secret to the Roman counsel than the line of blood he left across her cheek that set Nico off. All of his anguish – his pain, his anger, his misery – as well the memories that caused it – his days struggling through the hellscape of Tartarus, the giants who eventually caught him there stored him away in a jar to rot, his confrontation with Cupid, who forced him to expose his own closely guarded secret - poured out of him and assaulted everyone around him. The earth turned black, then white with frost as the temperature around him dropped dramatically. The skeletons Bryce had summoned fell away into ash.

Bryce sank into the earth, clawed at it to escape. Nico ignored his begging. There was no mercy in the Underworld, only justice.

“You’re already dead,” he said. “You’re a ghost with no tongue, no memory. You won’t be sharing any secrets.”

Bryce slipped farther into the earth. His body became whispy and dark, indistinct. His final pleas gave way to a whisper before he fully dissolved into ghost and was swallowed up into the Underworld. ]

[He had told Yuuri about Bryce. He knew he had killed him, and he knew how he was going to do it when his rage exploded. He didn’t know the details. Yuuri continued to accept him, regardless. Of course he did. But he’d never told anyone else.

His memories of his world don’t extend beyond his dropping into a dead faint after banishing Bryce. He has no idea how Reyna and Hedge feel about him now (and it hurts).

Nico jerks away from Yuuki’s touch, his look a little accusatory, a lot frightened.]

I, um…
