"You never had amnesia at all, did you?"

As Ira sits on the steps in front of Rikka's house, he begins to slowly unwind the bandage from around the top of his head. He looks her in the eyes, smiling sadly.

"Not even for a moment. I'm sorry."

Her expression does not shift quickly enough to keep up with her many emotions. She settles on hurt.

"Why? Why would you lie about something like that? Didn't you know I how much I worried about you?"

"I figured it out. You know who I am, where I come from. I thought maybe I could be nobody from nowhere for a while, maybe take a step up." He pauses, scowling. "Some step up."

"What happened today isn't your fault."

"No, it is. It absolutely is. It's my fault for thinking I could get out so easily. I should have known better."

Having fully removed the bandage, Ira hands it to her and begins walking away.
