The two were silent for a moment, and it was an awkward faze to be in. Hige glanced at Blue and she glanced back. Blue silently unlocked the door of her apartment and Hige looked hesitant.
"Do you want me to come inside," he asked politely. Blue peered around at her neatly kept home. It almost reminded her of somewhere else. It almost felt like a little nestled town that would later not remain. Blue forced herself back into reality and looked at Hige. He looked to be wearing a necklace of some kind, but it almost resembled a collar. Blue assumed it was some new fad.
"Yes, come in." Blue offered kindly and Hige crossed over into the threshold. Hige peered around at Blue's place and gave a low whistle. "Wow, fancy place you got here." Hige gave a goofy grin. Blue handed him a drink, which he sipped while still staring at the home in awe.
"You know Toboe and Tsume?" Blue finally asked. Hige pivoted his head and looked at her.
"Yes, the little runt kept on going through my garbage cans. I mean a guy's got to sleep at some point," Hige grunted. Blue looked closer into Hige's features; they were so familiar to her. She could almost hear him begging her to do something for him, like he was in pain. Hige was also scanning her. "I feel like my life has been rewound," Hige finally said and Blue raised her eyebrows.
"You mean like you were someone else, like you went through a rebirth?" Blue questioned and Hige nodded.
"Yeah, like there's something I'm supposed to remember. There's something I need to know, but can't quite get there. I have visions of wolves. A lot of them has this pretty black wolf who seems so sad," Hige said seriously and Blue looked stunned.
"Does she have a spike collar around her neck?" Blue asked. Hige's eyes widened.
"Well, yes. But how did you know that?" Hige asked.
Blue looked uneasy. "I have those sorts of dreams or visions to. It's almost like I know, like I'm searching for something I never got to." Hige patted her hand. Blue was surprised she didn't mind it. Even though they had just met, it seemed they had known each other for a lifetime. Like they'd gone through a perilous journey together and conquered the odds. Hige started at her and asked, "Do you always wear that red scarf around your neck?"
Blue gave a jolt and answered his inquiry, "Yes, well I've had it since well from what I can remember." Hige looked confused.
"When did you start remembering?" Hige asked and Blue gave a little sigh.
"I can't remember much before I woke up in my hospital bed, except my near death experience. I remember being before a White Throne and walking with Jesus." Blue explained and Hige looked a bit confused.
"Isn't Jesus part of that Christianity religion or something weird like that?" Hige asked.
Blue looked at him and said, "Yes, and I am learning more about it." Hige looked a bit uncomfortable and then they heard a dog howling furiously. They looked out Blue's window and saw a young man, with what appeared to be numerous scars on his face and a jacket running down the road. The dogs were all barking at him furiously.
"He said he was anxious and angry because his scent doesn't smell right," Hige and Blue said at the same time about the barking dog. They looked at each other stunned.
"How did you know that?" Hige asked, his hands slightly trembling. Blue was also shaking slightly.
"I, I don't know. I can just understand," Blue faltered. Hige looked very shocked and took a sip of his drink to steady himself.
"And here I thought I was the only one who understood barking dogs," Hige mumbled.
Blue stared down at the street and felt a few memories prick at her. It was a truck, a moving truck barreling on in the snow. An old man, wounded rushed in front of the snow to save a girl with a red scarf. It was her, she was the girl. The old man, his name was Quent! He hated wolves, and he was hunting them The truck smacked into Quent and Blue began to cry. So, she had known him, and he had saved her life. Quent, the drunk she'd helped in her home was connected to her memories in some way.
"Are you okay in there," Hige waved a hand in front of Blue's face and she came to.
"I just had a memory, or part of one," Blue said casually. Hige looked interested. "It was about this old man named Quent. I met him on the street, he was drunk and stole some liquor well I had some sort of memory about him." Blue went on to explain the memory she had. Hige sat there transfixed.
"I can remember some parts of a city and something about nobles. I remember a lot of running to, sometimes I can even smell lunar flowers," Hige bit his lip.
"Lunar flowers," Blue whispered for the mention of that object brought stinging sensations to her memory.
"I am tired of not knowing who I am," Hige announced and got up.
"I am to, but weren't you just kicked out of your home?" Blue asked with a hint of concern. Hige smiled.
"It's okay, I'll go bunk with a pal of mine. It'll be no problem." Hige thanked her for the drink and headed out the door. Blue, meanwhile, was left in a whirlwind of confusion and questions.
