*this is written furiously, in red ink. Exactly sixteen seconds pass and it is struck out.*

Yes. My power...my creation...I'm an artist, the most natural precious red my paint.

It works.

Flawlessly.

Like the Lady Lilith.

Giving me my second sight.

*the only legible parts are "artist", "flawlessly", "Lilith", and "sight"*

[She wouldn't be happy, no. But the restrained flinch protects him from further questioning on this score.

Handmaiden honestly feels a little lost when it comes to this. She knows what the darkness is and why it is dangerous, but... she is young, and she knows so little of herself, much less Juliet. But she won't let herself fail.

She looks at the bandages again.]

That is good to know. Take care that it does not get infected.

[...all right, she thinks she has something now.]

What is important to you here?

I won't.

{Losing the use of his arm would not be good. But with his bizarre healing, he figures it wouldn't happen.}

Important...?

{Many things are to him. Some things others might now understand.}

...My brother, those I consider my friends, the memories I have regained. And being able to have a second chance.

[The memories of Juliet's that she knows of are not pleasant ones, but she knows that any memory is important.

She nods at the other things she says, too. Especially the second chance.]

Then I believe you will be able to resist the darkness.

...I want to. And that's why I value my memories-so I don't make the same mistakes again.

{It's true. Even though he feels his compulsions, he's been able to restrain himself and lead a decent life. And that's what he wants for now.}
