Isabella: (G, pauses to consider) I guess that's reasonable. Long as you're not planning to take over the world or something. (looks up at whatever set of eyes he has on her) Are you?

Homura: That specifically refer to the negative stuff?

-Yeah, he highly doubts he's Swedish. His name is Japanese, and he can read and write in both Japanese and (a good amount of) English.-
-...He assumes that being Japanese is the correct answer.-
-...What does he remember...?-
-He looks up again, in thought.-
"...I remember what my mom looks like, and that she used to make strawberry shortcake for me when I was a kid..."
-And...-
"...I remember that Blaster Blade and Vanguard are extremely important to me..."
-He doesn't remember the nature of the card game nor does he even have his deck to try to remember...-
"...and I..."
-...He remembers that Link Joker is a danger to everyone, and that he doesn't want anyone else to harbor it.-
-He remembers that there's something he needs to do to stop it...-
-...Urk! Headache...-
-...Stop thinking about it for now, Aichi...-
-He can't help but put a hand up to his forehead when the headache starts up though. Thankfully, it's starting to fade since he's not thinking about it now (in an attempt to get the headache to stop before it becomes too much to handle).-
...W-well, not— not entirely, more of an, uhhhm... s-something perhaps influenced by communism, but more in the tradition of— of anarchist thought... A-anarcho-communism, per-perhaps is the aptest way it can be described, in— in mere words...
(Wheeeeeeze... he just fuckin' spits that "ch"-sound, sort of like how it's pronounced in "chutzpah". Wasn't he just speaking vaguely-French, tho...? What an odd accent.)
(Gives Gaf an "I'm sad, but tryna put on a brave face" sorta smile.)
...L-loss is—... I— I have been coping for many years, uhhhm— don't— don't worry yourself overmuch about my wellbeing, it's— uhhhm... it's just something I— I am accustomed to, even before this recent tragedy, and I can, uhhhm—... m-manage it and cope very well, I think...
...Hm... Vanguard, not something I've heard of, but that's interesting! I just wonder if you were perhaps the template for my dear cousin... the basis.

-Aichi looks back over at her, and manages a small smile.-
"Vanguard is a lot of fun!"
-...-
-...He found himself blurting that out, even if he can't remember ever playing the game.-
-He knows it was a lot of fun, but he wishes he could remember it...-
-...Wait... 'template for her cousin'...?-
"'Template'...? What do you mean...?"
-You can tell he's confused.-

Homura: (continues looking out for a while) ...Not as long as I still feel the way I do about her. All the guilt and suffering that comes from it...doesn't just wash it away.
Main Room
Isabella: ...Anarcho-communism, huh? I've heard a little bit about that. (seems to relax a little bit towards Panos) And you're trying to...meditate your way there?
(G) And they were the ones trying to invade Earth?
The damned queen and the relentless knight.I'm gonna be separated from her no matter what. Even if by some miracle we both live to the heat death of the universe, once that moment comes I'll become a packet of memories. Memories which return to my true self in the Throne of Heroes.
(looks back at Homura)
And the only thing I'm gonna take with me are those memories. And whether or not I let them spin out into skhandas that eat me alive... that's up to me. See where I'm going with this?
(Grins, knowing that what she's about to say will answer both their questions at once.)
I'm a homunculus, a construct made by humans for a specific purpose. In my case, I' was created to be as near to perfection in every area of life as possible, especially combat and partaking in the Holy Grail War... Arvid, he was created with a similar purpose, though he is not even nearly as competent as I.
(Gnaws the bone, looking thoughtful... ish. Hard to tell when her eyes are hidden.)
Arvid, I am informed, was based on the human ancestor of his creator. I wonder if the ancestor... is you.
(Now pointing right at Aichi.)
...E-essentially, o-or obtain my ultimate ascension by— by whatever other means are available to myself... I— I am learning as I go, it is being revealed to me...
(Looks back to Gaf.) ...I-it is fine, fully... And— and it is always a welcome thing, t-to have others familiar with my same experiences in life... My, uhhhm... sincere and divine condolences for your fallen comrades...
(Wheeeeeeze...)

-S-She's a homunculus...? Arvid is one too...?-
-...-
-...Wait... she thinks Aichi could be the ancestor they based him on?!-
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?! M-Me?!"
-T-That... Why would it be him?!-
"W-What makes you think...?"
-Aichi can't say he couldn't be the ancestor... this place is so weird that anything could happen...-
-...But he doesn't think he is!-

...'S a Buddhist thing. Grudges, regrets, the stuff that actually gets reincarnated.
