Her stage name is... Monster Siren?

Oh, I've heard of her. She's certainly an interesting personality.

...diplomatically put...

Show business does seem to attract eccentric types, haha.

I guess people who stand out like that might be a little eccentric.

...you seem, well—well-adjusted?

Oh, do I? That's very kind of you to say, Corretto.

Ah... I mean, you're. Welcome?

Then again, we've just met—not that I think you'd be weird if I knew more!

Of course, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. For my part, you seem like a very kind and welcoming person.

[ she's working very hard. ]

Well, um—sorry, again, for the confusion. I guess it'll be a funny story for the next time I see him.

[should he tell her or should he not tell her...

well. it's not like he can keep it a secret for long on an enclosed space like the ship. and it would look bad for the Arias if he lied, probably.]

Haha... About that. I'm afraid I haven't been entirely forthcoming about how Aphelion and I are related.

—ah, wait, what?

I didn't mean to mislead you earlier, but it's true. I'm related to Aphelion, in a manner of speaking.

Um—

...how do you mean?

Almost three weeks ago, Aphelion was struck with amnesia. Shortly afterwards, the Arias took me into their Family as Moray.

Oh.

I'm sure this must be a great shock to you...

Ah, um, yeah, it's just. Really surprising! I mean, it must be even harder for you, after all, so, um, don't worry about me, really.

[ it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine ]

Don't worry, the Arias have been very kind in helping me adjust to life with the Siren's Melodies. Everyone at the agency has been very welcoming, too.

Oh, w-well, that's good! That's really good. The most important thing is that you're okay.

[ does this mean like

the person she knew is functionally dead????

existential questions to ponder later while staring at the ceiling ]

[very sad if so. Aphelion was such a promising young man with a bright future ahead of him. :'(]

Thank you, Corretto. I must admit, you're taking this news better than the others I've encountered who knew Aphelion. I hope I'm not distressing you by being here.

Oh, um, it's fine, I mean—I'm always a little distressed...

[ she's distressed. ]

After all, it's got to be harder for you, right?

Not really. After all, I don't remember being any other way than I am.

...I guess that's true. Well, um—

I guess, in that case, I'll be seeing you around?

Given the size of the ship, I'm sure we'll run into each other sooner or later. It was wonderful meeting you, Corretto.

Well—you... too.

[ she's just going to flee now bye ]
