Not quite.

It is him, but not the same Hob who was here previously.

[lowficharm]

How can it not be the same? Like he doesn't remember, or it's... like a totally different person?

[ruevealing]

He does not remember. Not being here, not the friends we have made or the trials suffered through. Or our wedding.

The last thing he remembers is the very moment before we originally arrived.

[lowficharm]

Oh. Oh, god, I'm so sorry.

At least he... I mean, he seems okay, otherwise, right? He still knows you and all that. That's something, right?

[ruevealing]

I know. I know.

I should not complain when I am lucky enough to even have him.

[lowficharm]

I don't think it's complaining. I mean... it was your wedding. That's important.

I guess... maybe we can do it again...? Only if you wanted, of course.

[ruevealing]

The wedding?

No. Not like it was. Not when so many who were there are now gone. It we marry again, I think it shall be with a witness only.

[lowficharm]

Yeah. I... I understand. It would be a lot different.

Well, even without Jon here, it would make me happy to see you happy. If you need someone. :)

[ruevealing]

Thank you, Martin.

I apologize that I have not been myself much these last months, so swallowed in my grief. I hope things will be better.

[lowficharm]

It's okay. You don't always need to be a happy, and I mean, it's understandable, but-- What I mean is, you don't need to be sorry to me for feeling things. Of course I'd like you to feel better, but that doesn't make you somehow bad for not feeling good.

[ruevealing]

I do appreciate that. It is difficult to not feel guilty for it, especially when Hob is so unexpectedly returned to me, but I appreciate your words.

I think I am most hung up on not being able to get an answer from him. For why he left the way he did. Why he left me behind. I am still so hurt over it.

[lowficharm]

There must have been a good reason. Or... maybe it wasn't his fault. Maybe something happened to make him leave.

... Or, you know, if he was being a jerk, we can mess with him a little, too.
