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.

Well, the both of you have been here a lot longer than I have. I honestly almost feel like I've just been lucking out against these shadows...

Most people are just lucking out. You made it this far, though.

There's people who deserved it more than me though. I mean you're a leader around here and I'm no-one important, but I still made it even though you didn't...

No one deserves it any more or less than anyone else. You don't need to feel guilty about something horrible not happening to you.

Eh? Uh, I suppose not...

[But his chronic hero syndrome...!]

If you want to do something, teach yourself and become a better person. Don't whine about how bad you feel that someone else got hurt when it was completely unrelated to you.

Uh, teach myself what exactly?

Whatever it is you need to help the people you're so concerned about instead of just being concerned about them.

Right. Shadows aren't exactly the easiest things to kill though.

They're actually not that difficult to fight if you learn to use a long-range weapon.

Well, they'd take several shots for the crossbow to do anything.

Not if you learn to aim for dead-center.

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?
