[A certain priest can be found staring into the water on the bridge, his expression pensive. When he sees Shiro, he looks up briefly...and then breaks his gaze.]
[He saw Shiro's reaction at the end. That rush of anger at Shima, asking him how he could be so rash. That betrayed look, to know someone he knew would do such a deed...]
[Its hard to see. He can't imagine how hard it is to feel.]
[He approaches Shiro eventually, joining him at the railing of the bridge.]
Now that you mention it, I did notice that some people seemed to be losing more. But that puts the kids at a disadvantage, doesn't it? They're younger, they don't have as many memories as us old foagies.
Its true, but...memories seem to be anything from names to what we know ourselves to be. There's a world of memories to draw from, even if you're young.
I wonder what makes it decide big versus small. Hell, I've only noticed one of my memories being gone so far, so I can't help but wonder if they're all small for me. Or maybe I'm just so old I've forgotten that I've forgotten, ha!
Oh, come now, old man, don't be so self deprecating. I've only noticed one memory myself...though I guess when I'll try to remember, I'll figure it out.
Sort of? I mean, when I forgot coffee, it was just like...feeling like running in circles. Or running into the kitchen and not remembering why I was there.
Yep. Apparently I used to drink it a lot. Now its just like...I don't even remember liking it. It still feels strange to even think about it like that.
And looking a little unsure about being alive again but hey they can try to figure shit out before whatever is going to happen tomorrow. Plus he hasn't gotten to see the castle yet, so this is ok.]

I'm opening a confessional next week. It seems like we've got some sinners in our midst.
Wanna help?

Long time, no see, Father!
