...Normally it only happens when something bad happens, though... Why would it happen if there was nothing bad?

That kind of thing has happened to me when there was too much for me to handle. It might be the same way for you.

*runs her fingers through his hair, sighing softly.* ...it's your mind's way of protecting you. If you can't remember it well, you can't dwell on it.

...You're sure nothing happened this time?

Nothing worse than you biting your lip.

...That's why it hurt...?

Mmhmm. But that's alright. It'll heal in no time.

...I'm glad that's all that happened.

So are we.

...I still wish I could remember, though...

It'll come to you in time, if you need to remember.

...I never remembered any of the other things that happened...

That may be for the best.

...I remembered parts of it, though... Enough to be scared...

Asch...

[buries his head in her clothes, silent]

..I won't let that ever happen again. I promise.

...You can't promise that, though... You can't control everything.

...I don't intend to control everything. But I'm going to protect my family.

But it still might happen. You can't always be there to make sure it won't, at least...

... Then I can at least promise that anyone who harms you will never hurt another person after that.

...I guess that's an alright promise...

I should be able to keep it.

...Are you sure?
