okay i don't know exactly how to go about this so i'm going to be blunt

diarmuid's not waking up. and unlike with myself or vash, there's a very real possibility things could be different if he does--i don't even know with certainty that he will. strictly speaking, 'lancer' had nothing to return to at home.

heroic spirits like him aren't meant to retain memories of their past summonings. if he comes back, he might be different--still himself, but not quite as any of you knew him. but at the same time, this specific situation is so beyond unprecedented that i can't be sure what might happen. he might not remember having been in this city at all, but neither can i fully discount the possibility that he could.

wanted to be sure his friends were aware of what's going on, regardless of what outcome should happen.

I'm okay, Zulius. He's forgotten me once, I'll live. I'm more worried about what's going to happen to him right now.

[Zulius' ears slick back, he's not looking any less worried about that.]

That's really not comforting to hear, Babe. But okay, sure. I get the worry there. Is it like... a bad time? In your world. I mean... old world- however this bonkers stuff works? Do you remember?

...It's not great. When last I was there we were all still alive, but there's no guarantee of things staying that way.

[bebest]

...Yeah, I know how that works. For the way longest time, I thought my whole family was like, super dead. [It took SO LONG to get memories past the war. He really did think the Nowhere King had laid waste to them all. ] But I guess all we can do is wait and see- just...figure out how to deal with it if it happens. It's way not gonna help stressing about it before it happens.

[jesus christ zulius are you okay?]

I...suppose you're right. It's difficult not to worry regardless, but that won't change anything.

[HIs past life is a candy-coated hellscape, he is not, in fact, okay!]

Yeah! I mean, like, I GET it, the worry is super real. But it's only gonna make you feel worse while you can't do like...anything about it.
