[THEY'RE STILL IN THE VOID!!! THERE'S NO RUNNING!!!! Can't believe Kanda is going to die here and Lucas will be stuck with a corpse like a really unfortunate game of Among Us.
If only... but in truth, it only takes a little longer for Kanda to catch his breath, finally lowering one hand from his head to the ground. He holds himself up with a shaking arm, trying to think past the phantom pain in his head.]
[STOP THAT'D BE SO FUNNY CAN YOU IMAGINE COMING OUT OF A MEMSHARE VOID BUT ONE PERSON IS FUCKING DEAD
He's also just looking at Kanda for a second like HE KNOWS THIS IS A RHETORICAL QUESTION (probably) OR A QUESTION KANDA IS ASKING HIMSELF BUT IT STILL CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD FOR A MOMENT. WHAT THE FCK DO YOU MEAN WHO THE FCK WAS THAT.]
You... don't recognize that person?
[He's still hovering, just in case Kanda looks like he needs support.]
With great effort he sits back on his heels--he peers into the distance at nothing as he tries to concentrate, then grits his teeth and shakes his head.]
Nngh... shit. [Imagine if they were in the church for this. Damn.] No. It's--it's there, I think. But I can't--
[He can't focus on it--not for longer than a minute or two before his vision starts to blur and pain cuts through his mind.]
[And then there's Lucas who doesn't have brain problems like Kanda, sitting here thinking about this random rather plain-looking dude like "why is he having this kind of wild effect".]
...You've never seen him before then, but you know-- Or you knew who he was? At some point? Don't hurt yourself, please.
[THEN HE'LL JUST SIT HERE WATCHING KANDA FUCKING DIE PROBABLY IT'S NOT LIKE HE CAN DO SHIT!!!!
He's just frowning, though.]
The weapons? [Lavi had explained a little about Innocence but the main thing he got from it is that it's fuckin rude and chooses people who then get drafted to the army so.] ...Is that what caused that?
It's not the weapons themselves. [He sounds distracted as he talks, obviously trying to force himself through the pain of concentrating.] Innocence is a holy material. It's refined into what we use.
[Unless you're Kanda for reasons and UNLESS YOU'RE THIS GUY APPARENTLY]
But it doesn't matter because then Lucas's memory happens, and he has to live through this. And--while he isn't one to talk about personal things, there are things here that resonate with him, sentiments that he can understand even if the situations are wildly different.
So rarely does he ask questions about others' personal situations, and he doesn't really intend to here, either--but one thing about this gives him pause.]
You're from that island. [He'd nearly forgotten all about it even though he'd noted it down to look into it for Innocence reasons]
[imagine that's actually the case and one person can leave but the other person is just stuck in the void until someone else comes along to memshare with them. i think that'd be a funny mechanic
BUT ANYWAY!!! This is fine. Lucas is used to people's different reactions by this point, and this is one of his more benign memories despite the many implications within it, so he's not overly troubled. This statement does seem to surprise him a bit, though.]
[THANKS KANDA. Anyway they have a world map that they show in one route but 1) i have no idea how common that knowledge is and 2) i have no idea if that was even a real map or if it was just a metaphor map.]
It's in the- [definitely foreign sea name] -sea. Why...?
Ah... [As the void dissipates around them, setting them free.] I do think we might come from different places, though there's a possibility that isn't so... You likely would have heard of our island if we shared a home, though.

["Don't hurt yourself" except what if he does just that trying to focus WHAT THEN LUCAS
He pivots instead of finishing his thought, shaking his head slightly.]
No one can use Innocence like that.
