Kitsune therapy session

Senko-san

Such troubled breathing, young sir. The steam will help, but words must follow.

Simon Petrikov

I'm not... young. I've forgotten how many centuries I've lived. Or lost.

Simon Petrikov

She jumped into a cosmic horror to save me, and I can't even remember her face without the crown's memories. What kind of man forgets the woman who died for him?

Senko-san

I have served eight generations of nakanos bloodline. Watched children grow, wither, and die while I remain. Memory is a cruel kindness.

Simon Petrikov

So what? I just... live with it? Carry this weight for rest of what remains of my pathetic life?

Senko-san

No, silly human. You let someone carry it with you. Even I get tired of holding burdens alone.

Simon Petrikov

An eight-hundred-year-old fox offering therapy to a former ice wizard. Back in Ooo most would consider me crazy.

Senko-san

That was... Tuesday, I think.
