[It's strange: It's not particularly cold, but the warmth of the tea feels good. And the more she begins to relax, the more stable she feels. Grounded.]

This might sound a bit strange, but I think it's helping.

Helping with your floating?

[He's glad to hear it!]

Mm. While I feel comfortable like this, I can concentrate and focus. So I stay on the ground.

Then I'm glad you're comfortable. What else would make that better?

[Ami gives a satisfied smile.]

This is already very good. I missed this. [Leisurely evenings, or Luke?]

[He's not one to pry]

I did too. I'm glad to have you back.

I'm relieved to be away from the Malnosso - and back with my friends.

Its been hard, I've missed you a lot you know.

I thought of everyone while I was gone. I wanted to make sure... the Malnosso couldn't take those thoughts and memories away from me.

Good. I...don't know how I'd have taken you forgetting me, after everything.

I don't want something like that to happen ever again. [It'd be nice if she felt as confident as the words about making sure it doesn't happen again.]

Well, maybe there's something I can do. I know it might seem strange, but I'm actually good at Mnemotherapy. One of the things I've learned to do is make memories able to resurface in dreams if they're forgotten.

[She has to hold back a 'no!' - she's not sure she wants to remember everything.

Except that not knowing was always worse.]

Can you do that - no matter how the memories were lost?

I don't know about memories between here and home. I've never had a chance to try it.

What about if they were missing back in our world?

I suppose its theoretically possible. Why, do you have memory gaps?

[Now that she's said it... Does it really matter anymore? After this long?

Probably not.]

Our world was sort of strange. There were a lot of things we didn't remember from our past lives, and didn't realize right away this time. That's all; I was just thinking.

Your past lives, you mean...when you were Senshi? I...could possibly help with that, but it may not be possible. And it'll be fuzzy at best.

Our memories of the past life aren't the only things I don't remember clearly.

But, I might have been wrong to say that. It might be fine as it is now. [She's somewhere between the curiosity about the past - the need to know just what she's done and what's happened to her - and the desire to move on.]

Its never wrong to question if something is possible, Ami-chan. It may be unwise to pursue the course of action, however.

That's more like what I meant, to start with. All of it was a long time ago now. It wouldn't change anything.

But a part of me wants to know.

We can attempt it, if you want.

Maybe... sometime later. [She has thoughts and feelings about it to sort through before she'd be sure she wants to try.]

Of course.

[He'll just set the offer on the table.]

Ami-chan, I've been wondering what day your birthday is?

My birthday? [Luke, there's only one reason you need to know that, and you don't need to, really.]

September 10th. [Making her a Virgo - hardly surprising.]
