[The fox and the saniwa look between each other, before the fox opens its mouth.
"What do you mean?"
Your brow tightens as you try to describe what floats through your head, with images you don't understand.]

[It makes your hands clench against your polearm just thinking about it. But the more you talk, the more it feels like you're speaking nonsense, the details barely there like a dream you just can't remember anymore, and you quickly grow embarrassed when it doesn't seem either of the others are able to answer.]
...I... n-no, never mind. That doesn't make any sense, does it? Hah...
Sorry.
[Maybe it's better to keep this to yourself. You don't like how distressed dwelling on this image makes you.

"...Otegine.
We cannot fill in your history, nor can we change it. You will learn to accept what you can remember in time. But you are here now, just as many other Touken who can no longer recall the past.
This does not change your capabilities to me, nor my expectations of what you can do. Understood?"
There's a numb moment of realization. You were lost. Broken. You just don't remember how... and it doesn't look like your saniwa is able to give you that information just yet.]
