44 [Accidental Video -- > Voice]

[Rei, like so many others, looks mildly disorientated -- after all, she isn't within the Temple of Heaven, but is in a new house entirely. She's sitting on the floor, legs crossed, frowning to herself as she places the events of the week.

She was with Ulquiorra. And she and Hitsugaya -- but then Szayel --

The priestess presses a few fingers to her forehead with a tired sigh, muttering to herself in annoyance.

Until something hits her and she immediately launches for the PCD, not noticing the red light until she has already switched the filter.]

Are you okay? Are you still at Kurotsuchi's?

[He sighs, because really, he has his own messed up life to go deal with. Loosing his memory had taught him something really important. He had this whole life that he had lived, and he didn't remember any of it. Didn't remember the people in it, the things he had done. He needed to get those back.

He needed to focus on getting those things back. All of these problems and all of these issues only made him wish he didn't have to. Because if this was what his life was? He'd rather never remember.]

Life doesn't work that way.

[And he doesn't even want to talk to you because the sound of your voice makes him feel pyshically ill?]

You don't get to pick and choose what you forget and what you remember. You don't get to go back and do something over just because you didn't like the way it turned out. You move on and you get over it, and you either become stronger or you let it destroy you.

When you realize that, then come and talk to me.

[Because he loves you Rei, with all of his heart and every bone in his body, but he can't do this anymore. He can't and he won't. Because he wants to want those memories back.

And the last thing she hears will be the loud clicking noise of the PCD being hung up.]

[It's a long time before she responds -- but when she does, it's only a message, and it's on voice. Her tone is thick and her breath is hitching softly, but it's there.]

My memories of this place mean more to me than you will ever know. Ever.

Just because I wished, for one moment, for something to be easier, doesn't make me a weak or bad person.

[Another moment as she clenches her PCD tightly.]

I'll always be there for you, when you're ready.

[And Rei shuts off her PCD. She will not respond for the rest of the evening. She needs her own time.]
