Well, that was pointless. What idiot decided to send me home, and then bring me right back after a day?

[Idiot, city, whatever it was that made the decision. In any case, Rita sighs out of annoyance--primarily due to the disorientation from returning and regaining her memories--and then continues with a simple-]

But rather than voicing all her thoughts, she moodily mutters a simple-] It's just stupid.

[stargathering]

[ The fact she didn't even remember him a little is sad enough to him. Usually forgetting is a relief, but it doesn't feel like one now. Part of him wants to hold onto the friendships and memories no matter what.

Sighing, he rolls his head onto the back of the couch. ] If you say so...
