[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.

[his grip tightens. he isn't choking Kim Dokja, but his knuckles do start to go white]

You'll do it again.

...what if I promise that... we can do what you want?

[scoffs, his smile a mix of hurt and bitter]

You expect me to believe that?

...if you don't trust me, then don't rely on trust. There's other ways.

What ways?

The easiest way would probably just be a contract. Typically, a constellation and sponsorship contract can have provisions to allow the constellation to control the sponsor, but there's no reason that can't be written in reverse.

You haven't even remembered enough to know that Kim Dokja would set up a loophole for himself from the start.

If we were going through the scenarios, I'd never offer this in the first place. But haven't you remembered enough to know why I did all of that?

I remember enough to know you did it outside of the scenarios, too.

[shit]

So essentially you're saying literally nothing I can say or do will convince you that I'm not going to disappear again.

The only thing you can convince me of—and already have, is that you cannot be convinced of anything other people could want for you.

[gives him another good shove against the wall before releasing him and stepping back]

[???????????]

[excuse you, reaches out to grab his jacket]

Then stop hinging everything on me being convinced.

[meets his eyes, not intimidated in the least.

but also he's yanking his sword back]

[god imagine him trying to be intimidating, he's just annoyed]

Obviously I don't know what my reasons were for the things I did that I don't remember and you won't tell me about. But people do things they aren't convinced of all the time.

You're not making the compelling argument you think you are.

How many times did I get you to do something you didn't want?

[wait, he actually has to think about this one]

I only have a few memories, but it seems like we're at odds more often than not. I was always trying to get you to go along with something or convince you of something you didn't see the point of, or even that you hated.
