( sick that saves him having to test it on someone )
It came in a pair. This gemstone kills, but its twin heals. Me and . . . ( he falters, briefly - and that air turns into a mist, a prelude to rain, ) . . . me and my twin, we both had a matching set. They were stones just for us.
( The weather lingers, then seems to clear... barely. His backdrop remains misty. )
... I gave the stone that heals to a witch named Melissa, a long time ago. She was lovely, and passionate. She wanted to sail to the ends of the world, beyond the spirits' end. She was much braver than me. And so . . . I gave her this memento, though it linked me to my twin.
For Akira's history here, and his safety, let me trade you my recollection of Melissa. I won't know why I'm missing half of what remains to connect me to my other half, and I won't recall a witch that I loved, who affected and inspired me. I won't know when I lost it, simply that it's gone.
