[Today, in the plaza, you'll see a certain New Feather at the fountain. It's clear he's a New Feather, easily distinguishable by the light cotton pants he's wearing and the bewildered expression on his face.

Of course, he hasn't yet accepted his situation yet. It's rather hard to, when you find yourself in a place completely different from the one you were in before, and without any of the people you know in sight. So, of course, the logical thing to do would be to believe you're still dreaming.

That's exactly what Asbel believes, as he briefly dunks his head in the fountain, fully submerging it, before pulling it out and shaking the water off.]

...I guess... it's not a dream, huh...

[He glances around briefly nearby, perhaps coming out of one of the shops, or during the corner to enter the plaza themselves, or whatever. He, deciding he should probably get some answers about just what's going on, starts running towards them.]

Excuse me!

[Is this person you?]

O-of course there are, Richard! There's... [... ... ... Give him a moment.]

[Just laughing a little now because that's adorable. He really missed you, you know.]

...

...I can't really think of anything off the top of my head, but I'm sure there must be something. [He nervously rubs the back of his head.]

You don't have to think of anything for my sake, Asbel. There's nothing wrong with not being picky at all.

Ahh... If you... say so, Richard.

More importantly, you'll need a place to stay here, but I'm not sure how Sir Isamu would react to sharing the house with a stranger...

I wouldn't want to intrude on you three. I'm certain I can find somewhere nearby to live.

And you'll come visit often, won't you?

Of course. You can count on that.

... there's one other thing you should know as well.

...What is it?

... Lambda is also here.

... [He closes his eyes for a moment, remaining silent.]

...I know.

You've met him already, then?

I have, yeah.

Then you know that he does not pose a threat to us at the moment.

[Now Richard looks down.]

He told me that you had made a promise to him. Is this true?

...Yeah, I did. After I saved you from him, I did.

He said that you had offered him your own body as a vessel.

[...Dammit, Lambda.]

...I did.

Asbel...

[Seven years of having had Lambda within him have made him very wary about just allowing Asbel to do that. He trusts him, but...]

He saw so much pain and suffering through your eyes, Richard. That's what shaped him into the person he is now. That's why I...

I know. I couldn't do anything to help him... it's partially my fault as well. We were too similar, and that's why I wasn't able to change his way of thinking. I'm sorry.

Don't apologize, Richard. You wanted to help him... I know you did.

...That's why I want to be able to help him now. I'll show him that there are good people out there.

[He nods slightly.]

That was why I took him back into my body. I didn't want him to be alone like I was. But you... if anyone can help change his mind, it's you, Asbel.

I'll be sure to change his mind. I don't want to give up on him.
