I am glad for it. Though I wish I could recall even a little bit of the past myself.
[It would be nice to properly remember him naturally, versus what he has been told or learned.]
Regardless, I am relieved you feel the same way. Had it happened to someone on Bluebell, not one of us would have allowed them to be stripped from us. The snake and some of his compatriates, though, are both dangerous and cunning. I have seen firsthand how terrifying they can be. That fellow who died at the hands of Stormy-san was a walk in the park.
[ . . . He sighs. ]
I suppose what I wanted to ask, was that you look over him. When we were deceived on Bluebell, I was shaken to my very core. As a result of our mistake, everyone suffered from it.
. . . We were well-intentioned. But our desire to protect everyone did not erase the reality of what they suffered through. The shock had been painful.
Akuki-san... is clever. He might not possess fantastical powers or abilities, but he is good at using his mind and forming strategies in the blink of an eye. It seems... he is something like a Knight. And he treats me as a great person whom he has elected to follow.
[ . . . ]
I cannot protect him, Sonata-san, you, or many others from my position on Bluebell, though. Frustratingly, I lack the same proximity, strength, and experience. But... you can. I trust in your abilities and strength. So I hope... that you will be able to help protect him from the horror that we experienced.
