"I hear Zell wanted to get revenge for you," Nida counters. It isn't that hard to believe, is it? They were Seifer's family on some level, even if they forgot it. But whatever, he doesn't have to justify this all to him. Not that he could.

Still, it makes sense, that Seifer might not remember death. It's traumatic. Nida's own fingers brush over a place where a scar is covered by his shirt.

"I don't remember one of the times I almost died. Trauma. Messes with the brain."
