Recreating memories works too. Probably only important ones, since some things got repeated that really weren't and they didn't do anything. Memories that are important to the person, even if they didn't really say anything before that...

[ Yuri's voice sort of trails off toward the end there, but then perks up quickly with a subject change. Ish. Of sorts. It doesn't seem like a subject change to the untrained eye, but to Yuri it most definitely is. ]

Who's still an NPC? We can get working on them before anything, we'll figure out a plan of attack from there.

Dead-center, huh? They're mostly just a big blobby mass though.

Even big blobby masses have centers.

Well, it's not as easy to spot as something with a definitive shape.

You're not getting that that's a whole part of the "you need practice" thing, are you?

But while I'm still practicing, the shadows could end up taking someone else!

And freaking out about that is going to help how? You either learn to get better or you try to pretend you're better than you are and both you and the person you're trying to protect gets hurt.

Yeah, you're right...

[Sigh...]

As long as you realize that, you can get started.

What am I supposed to practice with though?

There are plenty of bows and arrows at the archery range. I got some with Sena a while back to defend her, but there are still a lot left there.

Of course, since we actually have a safe area now I wouldn't mind teaching you to use a gun instead since we have time and space to make ammo.

Right, a gun would probably be easier. It does more damage and is quicker to reload.

Some guns are, anyway, but only if you aim them right.

It's not like aiming is all that much harder than a crossbow though, right?

It's completely different than a crossbow. That's like saying you use your arms in wrestling and slap fights, so they're clearly the same thing.

Right, of course...

[He's tempted to argue about the glory of pro-wrestling, but decides against it.]

[ That's exactly the point she wanted to make that they're not the same. ]

In conclusion: You can't compare apples and oranges!

Where did you even learn all this weapon stuff anyway? Was it before or after you were dead?

After. I've been here long enough that I lost track of how long it was. I mean, I learned self-defense while I was alive after what I went through, but I didn't get real weapons training until I was here, after we met Chaa.

... After what you went through?

When I was younger, my brother and two sisters were killed in front of me. At the time, I thought that I should have been able to save them, but I couldn't. The police came right before I would have been killed. I lived on after that, eventually ending up dead right after graduating anyway.

Y-your younger siblings...? Right in front of you...?

[He sounds incredibly shaken hearing that.]

One every ten minutes, so long as I couldn't find anything valuable to give them.

Those bastards! They're the worst type of scum!

I know.

[ Even if she's okay now, it still makes her angry, sad.. It's hard not to be, but she's not blaming herself anymore. That's an improvement. ]

They're all in prison now, where they belong.

I... I couldn't possibly imagine... If that were to...

[If something like that ever happened to Rina... They would've had to go through him first.]
