[Oh. Okay. Sure.]

So to make sure that history happens the way it's supposed to, you and other swords travel and stop the organization. [Uh. What did Kara call them...] The Revisionists. Why are they trying to change history anyway?

[...] I think I understand why you were brought here though.

[preowned]

... when you say it like that, I think i have a feeling too.

[ but anyway ]

In the time period our base is at... humans have not treated the world kindly. It seems like the Revisionists believe that by changing key past events will be enough to disrupt history and stop that future from happening.

[cyclists]

But that's stupid. [Sol?] That's just making an even worse future instead. ...isn't it?

[preowned]

It could be. The only way to be sure is if they succeeded.

But as you said, the chances are more that it'll just make things worse.

[cyclists]

[There's another nod. That still sounds very bad.]

Your mission's on pause right now. Time's not moving or anything, so the Revisionists won't be able to attack while you aren't there. Are you as bothered about being here as he is?

[preowned]

I am, but...

[ a wave of the hand. ]

It's inconvenient, but that doesn't change my being here. And if I do end up breaking back home, it'll be nice to know I've done something to help here.

[cyclists]

...breaking? [No longer being alive and breaking seem to equal the same thing then.] If you did break, could you be fixed?

[preowned]

... I could be eventually resummoned, perhaps, but...

[ he shrugs ]

It'll essentially be a new me. Any memories I've made while in this form would be gone, because they wouldn't have happened for that Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

[cyclists]

...but those are your memories. They can't just disappear. That's not fair.

[preowned]

It's not.

[ he won't deny that ]

But it's something I'm prepared for.

[cyclists]

But...[Yeah, struggling to understand the concept here. Like yes, on one hand, they understand but on the other that still doesn't make it fair.]

What if there was a way that that wouldn't happen? If things changed to keep your memories no matter what?

[preowned]

... it would be nice.

[ he doesn't sound too hopeful. ]

[cyclists]

If the fate of this universe is up to you to decide, it could be possible. [Potentially. Hard to say, but if they're determining what the darkness is doing and how the universe and worlds will thrive it makes sense.]

[preowned]

There are other things I'd probably fix before that. But... it's a thought!

[ tsuru has already accepted his potential fate it's fine ]

[cyclists]

Wait like what? [Tsuru please. Please just. Love yourself. What the fuck.]

[preowned]

Mm... I'd need to take others first.

[ tsuru is a simple sword who just wants to have a good time ]

[cyclists]

...why? [This is now just a curious NPC, pardon.]

[preowned]

Hmm... why why?

[ he wants to know why sol is confused ]

[cyclists]

It's just...if some people were given the chance to change things for themselves, they'd take it without questioning it. [So Tsuru having other priorities is interesting, basically.]

[preowned]

There's things more important than my needs.

[ one of the cows is trotting over to them. tsuru looks excited about this ]

It'll still be a bummer, but...

[cyclists]

[Sol, meanwhile, leans back a little because this cow is also probably bigger than they are. They don't move from the fence but they're watching it closely. Still, Tsuru also gives them something to think about.]

...I knew someone like you once. [Okay?] Don't lose sight of what's important to you, too.

[preowned]

[ tsuru is just going to lean over the fence in an attempt to get the cow to come closer ]

Hm?

... well, the same goes to you.

[cyclists]

[The cow definitely comes closer to Sol's chagrin.]

...Lune won't let me forget, I think.

[preowned]

[ sorry sol, tsuru is now petting a cow

it moos. ]

Lune-chan seems to like you a lot.

[cyclists]

[There's a 9/10 chance this dumb bitch has never seen a cow in person before, so they're fine with Tsuru petting a cow. There's a nod though.]

Lune's very smart. [Which Sol can respect.] He knows a lot even if we're still researching this place. And he always answers all of my questions. [A beat.] I want to make sure Lune gets to go home, too.
