Man.

[A pause.]

Has anyone ever gotten that sudden rush, where you remember a whole lot of something all at once? Or you think you remember all of it, but then there's pieces missing...

Hahaha wow I'm dizzy. Okay, sitting down.

Um- well all right, I won't beat around the bush. Nami, Zack? Buffy? Draco? Meryl? What about anybody from home? Luke, Asch?

I don't need help, I'm all right to get to the village myself, but a friendly voice would be nice to listen to for the walk in. Maybe some conversation while I catch my breath. Ah, how about- hm. Your first day here in Luceti; how was it for you?

Well, I don't know if we have to go that far back, but- you know. It's nice to be remembered, I guess.

Sorry. If it makes you feel better, this is really confusing me too.

So I was here a little while ago, and I didn't remember anything from before?

Basically, yeah. Not gonna lie, it was pretty depressing! You weren't that different, though, as far as I could tell. Maybe a little more serious, I guess?

More serious, huh? [Guy can think of a few reasons why he'd be more serious.]

Yeah, I don't remember any of that. But I remember everything from before.

Go fig.

[Luceti. Weird. Yep.]

Well, I'm sure you want to settle in, so if you want a full catch-up, you should definitely swing by the bar. We've missed you.

Don't know if I'll make it tonight, but I'll definitely be by tomorrow at the latest. I'd love to see what you've done with the place.

Hey, I don't mean to brag, but I think it's improved a bit since you left. Got some new drinks, too! You'll have to try them out.

Great! I'll have to try a couple. [Or all of them, depending on how the rest of this day goes.]

Haha, it'll be nice going there as a patron. Weird, but nice.

I work both nights, so I'd be happy to serve 'em up for you, good patron.

[Heh heh.]

I know how you feel, though- after spending so much time behind the counter, it's a little weird to be on the other side.

Yeah.

[Guy goes silent for a bit, and his smile tapers off into something a little less giddy and a little more contemplative.]

How're you doing, Zack? [Last time he'd heard, Zack had lost Cloud only a few months before, and things with Aerith were...rocky.]

[Oh man, Guy, you've been gone for like a year, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED BRO.]

Me? I'm okay, actually! Things were good, and things were bad, but I'm still smiling, and in my book that counts for a lot.

[Zack, you're always smiling. That doesn't always count for so much.]

Well, I'm glad Luceti hasn't been treating you terribly then. You've been here this whole time? No trips back home?

[Pot, kettle, black.]

Actually, there was one quick trip home- a lot of people got sent home for a day almost half a year ago, and they dragged a cross-world neighbour along with them. I went home with Light, and when we got back, both of us thought she grew up there for an entire week. It was weird, man.

[Light? Not somebody Guy knows, anyway.]

Good to know Luceti's up to the same-old same-old.

Haha, good is definitely a word for it...

[Maybe not the best word, but there's something to be said about sarcasm as a coping method.]

To certain values of good, anyway.

[Pause.]

Hey, I'll catch up with you tomorrow, okay? At Good Spirits? Luke's almost here so I better pay attention to him before he starts feeling neglected. [That and Guy's probably going to dote on Luke for a while.]

Not a problem! Bar's always open for you, Guy, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Say hi to Luke for me!

[He salutes and flips the journal shut. It's nice to see a bit or normalcy again, aaahhh.]
