well, how else am I supposed to take a cryptic text like that?

[ He is dodging. ]

[wormswarm]

[ Dammit, Vash. ]

if you don't want to know what I know about what happened to you
I can keep it to myself
but you should

can't run from yourself, Vash the Stampede

[bountyfull]

[ It takes Vash a day, maybe a little more, before he answers this. ]

Sorry.
I'm not sure I want to know.

[ He's not stupid, he could tell there were things on the other's minds before they left ]

I have some idea, though.
I caught on from the others a little.

[wormswarm]

[ Oh, they definitely know he's not stupid. ]

mm
I know you know some
but do you know you did it back home
and it had consequences

[bountyfull]

[ He hadn't really wanted to put two and two together.
He knew Roberto died. He knew there was more Meryl wanted to tell him.

He didn't want to hear it then.
But it makes sense. ]

Concequences.
I see.

[ He can already feel the way his stomach is trying to push into his throat. He doesn't want to know. ]

I'm still trying to understand it.
Maybe if I figure it out here, I can stop it from happening there.

[wormswarm]

it's easy to understand
it was all Knives

[ Not you. ]

your gate with whatever he did to you

[bountyfull]

[ All knives.
Something in his chest aches. ]

I'll talk to him. I'll figure it out. It doesn't have to happen however it happened before. Maybe it won't now that he's gone back from here.

[wormswarm]

whatever you tried the first time
it didn't work

maybe if he has memories from here
but I've seen someone from the network that doesn't even remember he's been here before

[ They pause for a moment. ]

somehow you grew a woman out of flowers
as large as Julai and three times as high
