[Hello Purvis]

> Any noodle/veggie combo dishes?
> "How did you find that place, anyway? The entrance is not exactly obvious."

>Several, plain and fried.
>"I found some interesting things nearby, so I looked around," she says. "And there it was."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah. How lucky."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah. How lucky."

>"It was very nostalgic," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Right, since you're from the moon."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Right, since you're from the moon."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Me? I'm not from the moon, no."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Me? I'm not from the moon, no."

>"Huh?" she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I acknowledged where you were from, and you asked me what I thought was whether or not I was from the same place."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I acknowledged where you were from, and you asked me what I thought was whether or not I was from the same place."

>She shakes her head. "I meant the nostalgia."

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "Then I'm afraid I don't understand what you were asking."

[Hello Purvis]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "Then I'm afraid I don't understand what you were asking."

>"What makes you feel nostalgic?" she says, frowning slightly.

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Do we have any such things?

[Hello Purvis]

> ...Do we have any such things?

>Do you?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, what from our past is significant to us?

[Hello Purvis]

> Well, what from our past is significant to us?

>Your gardening is precious to you, even if the results are somewhat ephemeral. You take pride in the effort you've placed into mastering your swordplay. The time you spent with your father when you were younger, the support you've recieved from your fellow ghosts, and Yuyuko in particular. There are many things.

[Kilgamayan]

> How often do we see things that remind us of our father?
> Do we know who our mother is/was?

[Hello Purvis]

> How often do we see things that remind us of our father?
> Do we know who our mother is/was?

>There's a few things and places around Hakugyokurou.
>You don't. For the longest time, it didn't strike you as anything unusual.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, sorry. Hmmm...there are a few places around the Netherworld that carry particularly strong memories of my father. He has been gone for some time, and I've never really known where he went."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm?"

>"Sorry," she says, "Just had a sort of strange thought I couldn't quite form into words for a moment,"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, I see. Well, if it was related to my father, he was a good man. The greatest I have ever known. I am sure he had his reasons, and has handled himself fine."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, I see. Well, if it was related to my father, he was a good man. The greatest I have ever known. I am sure he had his reasons, and has handled himself fine."

>She shakes her head. "It's just an impulse, I guess," she says. "And, handled?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "With whatever business he has had since he left, yes. I honestly do not know for sure if he still lives, though I do know that he would not pass away easily."

[Hello Purvis]

> "With whatever business he has had since he left, yes. I honestly do not know for sure if he still lives, though I do know that he would not pass away easily."

>She nods. "How mysterious. Is it often still there?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How often do we visit those places that remind us of him?

[Hello Purvis]

> How often do we visit those places that remind us of him?

>Some of them, you rarely visit, such as his old room. Others, like the courtyard where you did much of your early training with him, you pass through often enough that you barely even think about it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It depends on where my daily tasks take me, really. Some places I visit quite often, other places quite rarely."
