If you are Yu Junghyeok, then Booker Storm is me.

I admit it's awkward and I still think of him as a different character. But he chose to be here, regaining these memories, even knowing it might eventually cost him his identity. It's not fair to act like he's some outsider just gathering up 'my' things.

So my memories are his, too. It's fine if he knows, and he gets to decide what to do with that knowledge.

I've said this to him before, it's a matter of choice.

And if I weren't here, neither of you would even be aware of this information in the first place.

We would be eventually.

And clearly I've already started to get back some of it.

But since it matters so much to you, what is so bad about explaining?

You just said it yourself, you might not ever remember it on your own.

[deflects!!!!!!]

.... Are you afraid of me remembering?

No.

.... Liar.

[wao, really]

So you are. Why don't you just explain why, then?

—Don't do that.

Isn't it nostalgic?

[his hand does seem to have moved to the sword as his side, but he's not drawing it]

No.

[Looks him right in the fucking eye]

Liar.

[turns his back to him]

...Yu Junghyeok.

Tell me why you're afraid of me remembering.

[This is a compulsion.]

[oh fuck this so much. his whole body goes tense, trying to resist the compulsion with his whole being]

[honestly, it's yu Junghyeok so he wouldn't be surprised if he CAN resist it.

He'll just wait to see]

[well unfortunately it was a pretty big lie, so Kim Dokja can see him further struggle against it. his breathing becoming uneven as some black sparks of energy crackle over him.

this time he does draw the sword

but

uh

hm

he's pointing at himself???]

[wait no that is so much worse than stabbing Kim Dokja, he doesn't even think about it this time, reaching for the sword]

--don't--

[This too, is a compulsion]

[grunts as the second compulsion kicks in, allowing Dokja to grab the sword if he wants to]

—Stop.

You stop!

[Grabbing the hilt and trying to pry it from him]

I may not understand exactly what it is, but I can tell you it's already happening. Whether or not you tell me, you need to wake up and quit being in denial about that!

[he can have the sword, but in exchange Yu Junghyeok grabs him by the collar and homoerotically slams him against the nearest wall, pressing up close to threaten him further]

I'm not letting you disappear again.

[wait what

??????]

[shakily, clearly still fighting the compulsion but not succeeding at it]

The more you remember, the more inevitable it will become.

[.... Reaching up to grab Junghyeok's hands, not to pull them away exactly. Just. Holding them.]

.... Sorry. I must have done something thoughtless in the past.
