[Loki's been lurking and just watching others' memories, maybe making notes for future use, but this one hurts. Eventually he moves forward and approaches the girl.]

It is... difficult, when those who should be your peers cast you out for reasons you do not understand, and your family acts the same.

OH! [ O-Of course! Others got to witness that too!

... Agh... it's a little... ]

Ah- um... it-- [ It... did hurt. She can't just lie and say otherwise. B-But-- she twiddles with her fingers. ]

I...can't deny that. It did hurt... and I was sad-- or maybe lonely.

[ No one likes to be alone after all. Rejection is a difficult feeling-- knowing you aren't wanted or being teased for being a little different. There isn't anyone who wants to feel that way. ]

But in the end... I managed to make wonderful friends along the way. I know that right now I can't remember anything else about them. This is my first memory, and it's confusing and a little difficult.

[ Just one piece to a much larger puzzle. ]

But if there are two people like that in my life, as well as my grandfather... who can accept me, regardless of my faults, then-- I'm happy, too. I'm really blessed, in the end.

[bestbrotherever]

And are those friends, your grandfather, worth being around those who belittle and reject you? Would you rather not leave them all behind?

[notafruit]

If... I am honest, I don't really want to see those people again.

[ Is that wrong...? Even though they are family. But they were the ones who made it clear that they didn't care for her to be in their life. Even she understands that much. The humiliation and hurt of their words is raw and it stings. It's still too fresh, as though she had genuinely just experienced that moment for the first time. ]

But if I wasn't able to see Kyou-kun again, and that other boy... their cousin, and my grandfather again, I think... that a major part of my heart would go missing, too. Even though I might have been rejected... I was also accepted by others. I want to treasure that feeling.

[Loki goes quiet, mulling over her words, looking for what also applies to him. Then he gives a quiet chuckle.]

Though I suppose it is not a decision you need to make now, as you are currently unable to see any of them, other than Kyou.
