In which case it's simply deciding who would use them.

[...]

I admittedly do not know of any potential candidates...

[He isn't like Sanji who had a whole ass shipping chart. Chiron doesn't pay attention to anything.]

[chanteuser]

[ .....

neither does she, actually. ]

Didn't... um. Actually, I'm not really sure either. [ she's looking? at hansa and emet? have they paid more attention to other couples around here? ]

[robopriest]

[HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

Blanca and Lup are sweet, though...I heard Blanca forgot his wife was dead, so. That's been awkward.

[chanteuser]

...

Using an item to make them all romantic for a week might not be a good idea, if that's the case? [ wait ] Oh-- Blanca and Lup...?

[ hansa.

hansa, gossip. what's the gossip. ]

[robopriest]

Yeah, they were together in the beginning. Really got along, and even...well, they went pretty far. Lup said she always saw it as a casual relationship, but...

[The feelings were. Not.]

And now this. Poor Lup...

[chanteuser]

... Ah. [ ... ] That's a lot to have to work through, isn't it? If Blanca even wants to.

[ she... maybe has some idea of how he might feel. ] I... um. I forgot my brother again. The memory came back, but--

[ there's some deep, deep guilt involved. like she betrayed emilio, forgetting him. again. ]

[robopriest]

Your brother...?

[A concerned look.]

Is it not a good thing that the memory is back?

[chanteuser]

No, it's good. It's just... I already forgot him once. I was terrified of forgetting him again and then I didn't even realise I had.

It's... an unsettling feeling. It feels a bit like betrayal, just forgetting alone. [ so... imagine there being someone you were romantically linked to, and then you remembered your dead wife. ]

[arkitect]

...'if these memories are truly so precious, pray do not ask that I forget them twice.'

[he exhales a sigh, at that, shakes his head.]

I cannot say I agree with the sentiment myself, but... 'tis an unsettling thing, to lose and to know that remembering means one may forget again.

[chanteuser]

Someone said to me that the memories I don't remember, from before I got here, might be safer than the ones I do.

I think they're right. The Realm can't take away what I don't remember. And at least I know those will come back, in their own time.

[arkitect]

I think they may have a point, yes. While we are here-- nothing is truly safe.

[chanteuser]

[ that's a really, deeply concerning thought. but one she has already had before. ]

-- As long as we don't start to forget things from here as well.

[antaressnipe]

Mm... I am not certain Lup would agree, though I could ask her.

[Also WINCING at the Blanca lore]

Yes, I suspected that would happen eventually.

[robopriest]

You knew? Yeah, Lup took it pretty hard, obviously. I mean...that's a terrible memory to lose.

[antaressnipe]

I knew that he had a wife, and that she had passed. And given what he told me about her, it seemed the type of memory that would be robbed eventually.

[His expression just turns pained at the mention of Lup]

She has lost so much already...
