And in truth, there's a part of him that's grateful for that. The way things unfolded just a few short months ago, the mistakes they made in fumbling through their hidden motives and half-truths—like this, they're erased, as though they had never occurred at all. Yagyuu remembers, but Yagyuu is also a pro at selective memory, at sideways rationale. If he pretends things don't exist, it's as complete a denial as if they were never there at all.
Maybe it's better this way. If he's the only one who remembers their mistakes, maybe this time around they'll be better prepared to avoid repeating them.]
Wouldn't that comfort you? To be the namesake of something fluffy and adorable?
