[ robin has long since made her peace with losing her mother. she smiles, for as much as reliving it pains her, it is part of her foundation. ]

It is all right. It was a long time ago, and I hold what my mother wanted for me close.

[ growing as a character from past experiences... what is that like ]

Is she a part of why you sing?

[ sorry for the genre of your life, totty. ]

She is. She taught me how emotions can be conveyed through song even if you can't hear it.

Huh... I've never heard it put like that before.

If you don't falter even if there is no one to hear or see you, there is strength in that alone.

[ at least, that's what she believes. ]

[ nods... ]

Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.

[ he's not sure where that would put him. maybe there's a little bit of strength there somewhere.

...and it's return memory time. (literally nothing happens in this segment, i'm sorry, it's just 8+ minutes of him and his brothers talking while walking home and being more introspective than usual but i like it a lot because of that. if you want a more fun one i can also do that!!) ]

[ accepts and holds any and every memory you give me

it's an introspective conversation, and it's robin's confirmation of how many brothers todomatsu has. it's nice to see them discuss what comes to their minds even if at the end it becomes a bit more morose. ]

You all must be close.

[ at least this wasn't a horrifically embarrassing memory that made him look terrible, so he'll take it... ]

Yeah, I guess so.

[ even though he HATES THEM SO MUCH OF THE TIME ]

It'd be kind of hard not to be.

[ it's a good thing she can't read bracket text.

she thinks about what he says for a moment. ]

Would you miss it, if you weren't as close anymore?

[ she smiles, a tinge of sadness to it. ]

I'd feel the same. I miss my brother.

[ being here... has been difficult for more than just witnesses murder, death, and more murder. ]

You're still close to him too, huh?

[ .... ]

I'd like to be.
