[It is the big sis vibes that make him lower his guard, probably. He missed his brother back home even if he was still alive -and, man, he did love Hero but things had never been truly the same since a certain accident- and now both his siblings had been taked from his mind- perhaps Kel was in part unconsciously trying to fill a void? Who knew. He wants to help otehrs more than anything else, but... he has his own worries.

And her words would be reassuring in any other moment but...]

I didn't choose to give away any memory, Frieda. It was taken from me. And... and I think Sunny lost some too, before the crossing. He... I'm not sure about that and I can't ask but... what if we lose memories regardless?

[But that's not something he can bring up too freel without explaining that he and Sunny were together when they died. And since Sunny doesn't seem to remember, Kel is not very inclined to bring up why he would not give anything to keep the other safe- from his point of view, it is his fault if they're both dead.]

I want to hold onto my memories too. Maybe the next meeting... could be about sharing memories? For those who feel like it? To have someone else at least try to preserve bits about ourselves?
