	I want to punch me! It's not like I can help it. I told you, my life was uneventful, didn't I?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What-- in what way is my life "perfect"?! I was lied to by my parents for my whole life, got disowned by my country, found out that my father is secretly a power-hungry egomaniac who sells innocent girls into slavery and probably also furthers intergalactic wars for his own gain and now I'm going to have to clean up his mess when I go back, oh, and that's probably only the tip of the iceberg because I still don't know why I'm here, which means it only gets worse from there!

	[Sighs and runs a hand through his hair again.] Mm. [There's some awkward silence for a moment, then:] ... Here, last one. Then I can have a load off my mind for a while. No more berries to worry about. [And down the hatch it goes.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[From the moment the memory hits it's clear that this one isn't going to be a boring one. Or a good one. Albert's expression is becoming increasingly frantic as the memory plays out...] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[And then the shock sets in as the memory ends. It takes a couple of seconds for Albert to even realise that he's back in the real world, hand clenched to the familiar spot where his scar is on his stomach, breath fast enough to nearly be hyperventilating.] No... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[No response, he remains stock-still and shaking slightly. Suddenly and without warning, something seems to snap inside-- he gets up and pushes past Scowl and runs to the kitchen sink.] [Given the proximity of our dining room and kitchen, you can probably still hear the sound of retching.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Takes it gratefully once he's done, with both hands since they're both still shaking. Manages to get it down in silence and places the glass down on the kitchen bench. Then he just ... slides slowly down until he's sitting on the floor with his back against the bench wall, one hand over his mouth. Concentrating on breathing through his nose until he gets himself under control again.]

	—Don't assume that for certain. I was sure I had to be dead for a long time before I got a memory that came later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
