[ Wow this retrograde amnesia is just fun ]

Planet Jr. had his panties in a twist.
Gabriel was mediating.

[ He doesn't get why Gabriel would waste his time on that. ]

A good portion of it was public.

[thewarningafter]

Of course it was.

[S I G H.]

So Peter remembers too, then.

[darkincrement]

[ Good thing about whatever Stephen is going through, he won't remember that Vanitas immediately explained like a good critter ]

He reacted the way you would assume he would
Lots of yelling and arguing.
You should thank Gabriel later.
Make a note.

[ Whoops Gabriel bias is leaking ]

[thewarningafter]

[Hey Vanitas? This is still going to be in Stephen's inbox later, and he's the kind of nerd who will go back and read/listen to e v e r y t h i n g.]

Well, that's understandable.

[Peter had just been another pawn to him. He feels a little sick, thinking of it. Sicker knowing that it wouldn't have made any difference if they'd remembered each other, that he would do the same all over again.]

You could always just tell Gabriel I said thanks...if you want to admit we had a heart to heart about it.

[darkincrement]

[ Wow Stephen. ]

Would have to have a heart first.

[ Half of one doesn't count. ]

[thewarningafter]

Uh huh. I know, you're terrible. The worst. That make you feel better?

[darkincrement]

[ Wow.

He considers not responding, but that feels like giving Stephen a win. ]

You forgot selfish.

[ There's a moment but hey Stephen won't remember any of this. ]

I only have half a heart.

[thewarningafter]

...Are we speaking literally or metaphorically, because if it's the former I have questions.

[darkincrement]

A little of both.
It's closer to what some might call a soul.

[ He does have a scar over where hearts usually go. ]

[thewarningafter]

How did that happen? I don't...I've never heard of a soul being halved.

[darkincrement]

My Master had a weapon that could do it.

[ Simple, right? ]

[thewarningafter]

Your master? Someone you knew did that to you?!

[darkincrement]

I'll do you one better: he raised me.

[thewarningafter]

That...answers a lot of questions I hadn't asked....

Christ.
