Memories 9 (Sig Neg), 10 (Sig Pos) and 11 (Triv Pos)

Meeting Asch for the first time
(Sharable, shape of a flower)

4:00 to 5:25

Too Lazy To Transcribe! Basically, Luke sees someone taking Ion away, attacks them, it turns out to be Asch. Asch shoves him away, calls him a 'lady's man (STILL HILARIOUS)' and runs off with Ion. Luke is too stunned to say anything, and after a minute goes to throw up. He has NO IDEA at this point that he is a replica so it's just like OH JESUS WHY DO I HAVE AN EVIL TWIN WHAT THE SHIT???

LEARNED/EFFECTS:
-I didn't know I was a replica...
-Dusk sure did hate me
-Also he's kidnapping Ion...?
-Seeing your identical twin for the first time and ALL THAT IMPLIES is upsetting enough that you immediately go and throw up afterward



The night before attacking Eldrant
(Sharable, shape of a scroll)

5:35 to 7:40

This is like the most heart breaking conversation in a game ever.

Tear: Tomorrow...
Luke: Yeah... I hope my body holds together until then.
T: It will.
L: Tear...
T: Tomorrow... and the day after... and on and on...
L: Tear... I...
T: What is it?
L: ...Ah, never mind.
T: You're weird.
L: I am not! I just... Thanks.
T: What's with you all of a sudden?
L: You watched me this whole time, just like you promised.
T: You idiot. I'm going to keep on watching you, too.
L: You're the idiot. I'm going to disappear--
T: It's okay.
L: It's weird. I'm really happy right now. I have friends... and you... I can finally think of myself as... me.
This is the probably the happiest moment of my life.
T: ...what?
L: I mean. I wish I could think it wouldn't be...
T: ....

LEARNED/EFFECTS:
-I'm...dying?
-No wait I'm probably dead.
-But I changed...
-Tear is really important to me, and never abandoned me
-"I am me" has more meaning now than when I said it to Van
-I am... okay...? With myself? SOMEHOW?? After everything???
-This was the happiest moment of my life...
+1 in love with Tear
+15 general death melancholy
+200 weird zen
+250 positive outlook
+75 happiness



Ion sticking up for his change of heart

I can't remember what skit this is so I am going off the anime script!

[Party is walking through Keterburg, following Jade somewhere.]

Luke: Jade, you were born here?
Jade: Yes, I used to live here.
Anise: Master Ion, aren't you cold? Shouldn't you go to the hotel before us?
Ion: I'm fine. I would like to meet the governor as well.
Anise: Is that so?
Luke: Don't push yourself, Ion.
Ion: Huh?
Luke: Your body isn't very strong.
Ion: Thank you, Luke, for your concern.
Luke: Ah.. no...
Anise: What's this? You're nicer now that you've cut your hair?
Natalia: Thinking about it, you seem quite different.
Luke: R-really?
Jade: You've probably had a lot to think about. I'd think it's a bit late though...
Luke: Hnngh!
Anise: Personalities can't just change like that.
Guy: Hey, hey...
Ion: Anise, Jade, I can't agree with you.
Anise: Ha?
Ion: Luke has always been kind. He simply didn't know how to express his kindness.
Luke: It's okay, Ion! It's natural for them to think like that.
Natalia: You really have changed from how you used to be.
Luke: A-anyway, let's get to the governor's house quickly!
Anise: Right. If we take any longer, I think Master Ion won't be the only one to catch cold.
Jade: This way.

LEARNED/EFFECTS:
-Jade! is. kind of a dick
--I am used to that
-He was born in some cold northern (?) town
-I cut my hair around the same time I decided to change
-Am DEFINITELY making an effort to be a better person
-Anise and Jade don't believe in me...
-But Ion, Natalia and Guy do.
--Didn't know how to express my kindness? (Sounds like a cop out...)

+50 gay for Ion
+5 tolerance to Jade
+20 tolerance to general insults to his character




Gooood idek.

Luke took his memories because Konatsu made him feel like shit so he was like I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON AND I DESERVE MY TERRIBLE MEMORIES.

Then Ruby kept winning...

Remembering Asch hating him was not actually that bad, because Dusk was there to reassure him that he is loved and the past is bullshit and whatever. And NOW Dawn, mostly feels really bad for what he did to Asch, however inadvertently, and so for him the most upsetting thing is "Aaa I stole Asch's life and gave him a huge complex and I am terrible". He DOES fee1l like crap about that but has squashed it and won't talk about it because it's not productive.

Thhheeen he got his VERY HAPPIEST MEMORY which also happens to be about how he is probably going to die tomorrow. \o/; IDK MAN TOA MY BFF.

At first the whole death thing hit him really hard, but as he got accustomed to the idea (he IS alive here, afterall, and he didn't want to escape anyway), the other information of the memory stuck around. The fact that he had 'changed', and that the prevalent, horrible, heavy feelings of "I shouldn't have existed and have no purpose and am completely worthless" that had been in some of his other memories, + IN HIS OWN HEART lately, was not there. He doesn't exactly feel he DESERVES to somehow move on from what he did, yet, realizing that he DID 'recover' from Akzeriuth is incredibly heartening for Dawn. He honestly wouldn't have believed he had it in him. Now that he knows that SOMEHOW he found happiness, even if only briefly, he feels like his capable of a lot more than he would have guessed.

Also, sry2say, but he also feels a little glad he died just because it wouldn't have been fair to not die after what he did 8D;

But MOSTLY what is having an effect on him is not that he died but that he changed. That he had friends, that when he said "I am me" this time it was with a lot more confidence than when he said it to basically defy Van. He found ZEN, and even if he doesn't know how he got there, it has a pretty strong effect on Dawn.

Dawn will not suddenly be REALLY CONFIDENT AND TOPPY AND CAPABLE. But he will a little bit more of all of those. Also less prone to incapacitating emo.

To say he is happy would be a HUGE LIE. He is still very depressed in a general sort of way. Acedia's memory is a huge stressor. Acedia and Liberty talking about humanity deserving to die is extremely depressing and troubling. But he is getting a lot better at functioning through his feelings, and is probably like a 4.5 out of 10 on his depression scale.

Also someone app Tear 8(
