[ Sylvain's logic is sound, and his comment about his real memories being linked to his illness feels like it has merit. There are several people at FONY who had gotten ill lately, and they were all people that Claude had encountered prior to waking up in Danaca. It seems strange that their memories would come back on their own however... What is the test here?

He meets Sylvain's gaze, thoughtful, quirking an amused smile of his own. ]

Best friends, huh... I have to wonder what this place was thinking.

[ Friends, him and Sylvain? When they could barely have a conversation before it was soured by one ill-timed comment?

And yet it had felt so easy. His behaviour as Sylvain's friend wasn't out of character save for the fact that him and Sylvain aren't friends, but the humour, the demeanour and everything else was still Claude. A Claude who didn't hide himself, perhaps. A Claude who found the reward of a relationship worth the risk of hurt.

Maybe he really wasn't himself at all. ]

[ ... He wonders, what happens if reality doesn't stick? What if the hold of this fake life is too strong? ]
