( how you gunna tell a man with dementia that? insane!!! he can remember these memories now, well, for the moment until he starts to forget this moment too. )

Why do you say it like that? ( used, that's not the proper term. ) I'm working with you, I give my everything as long as it's to see your hope...

( he'll slide off rokkun, settling to the side of him with a sigh, and softly he speaks to himself hoping that the other doesn't hear. ) I want to see how far your roots sink into the earth, and how the world handles your hope... will you destroy yourself, or grow with it? ...It'll accept you better than me.

( he pauses, lifting a hand to run his hand through his own hair before speaking aloud. )

There's nothing stopping us from working together now, remember that.
