Yeah. Or... as I remember it. Things looked a little different when I went back a couple of years ago, but this is how I keep seeing it if I think about it.

[countermeasures]

...it looks like a very nice place.

[chevaliered]

[ ... ]

Yeah. It's doing well for itself. Lots of money rolling in and out of the city nowadays.

[countermeasures]

...that sounds like a good thing?

[but that pause before he answered... hm]

[chevaliered]

It's Empire capital. Erebonia peacefully annexed it about ten years ago.

[countermeasures]

[she doesn't know what erebonia is]

Oh...

[chevaliered]

[ he just kinda laughs. ]

Without context, I'm just kinda saying words at you. Don't worry about it. It was my home, and then someone bigger, and more powerful decided they wanted it.

[countermeasures]

[ah.]

...I'm sorry to hear that happened.

[chevaliered]

It's fine. They did it peacefully. If you asked them, there were no casualties. But, really, there was only one.

[countermeasures]

...

[she puts a hand on his arm because he keeps saying "it's fine" but it really does not sound fine]

[ … jiuqing is very sweet. ]

Seriously. It’s been a long time. And Jurai’s thriving.

My personal feelings aside, it’s done pretty well for itself.

[countermeasures]

...that doesn't make the feelings just go away, though.

[chevaliered]

Nope. But that's my issue, no one elses.

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

Well... I suppose that's fair enough.

[chevaliered]

Sadly, turning back time's not an option so you just have to keep pushing forwards, right?

[countermeasures]

Yes, that's true.
