My roommate since I arrived in Lunatia one year ago, Lobco, has gone home. The apartment is terribly quiet without her, even though she was never the loud type. Strange how that happens.

Will you remember what has transpired here when you return? Do you wish to remember?

You're more merciful than I am.

The one working against me... Well, he and I are currently trying very hard to kill one another. Perhaps he would prefer me alive for the sake of getting information I have. But it's likely going to end in one of us dead.

[hagrides]

I am sorry to hear that. It is always a pity when former friendships must end in such a way.

[manufactured]

I'm rather used to them ending that way. This is no different.

[hagrides]

Do you never mourn for what might have been?

[manufactured]

I don't mourn anything.

[hagrides]

That is indeed a pity.

[manufactured]

Perhaps it is. I don't consider it to be such, but given what it is you do I can't say I'm surprised to hear that you do.

[hagrides]

From my point of view, mourning a loss means that you had something worth mourning.

[And if Wesker has had numerous losses, and mourned none of them... that strikes Grimm as terribly sad.]

[manufactured]

I see.

It's always been more of an obstruction to me. I don't have time to grieve the past; I have some things to serve as reminders of different times, but continuing on in the present has always taken priority. The losses are pointless without progress.

[hagrides]

That sort of thinking is sensible when it comes to failed projects or the like, but lost people are different, I feel.

[manufactured]

Maybe so. Most I know would agree with you; I'm aware that I'm an outlier, in that regard. I always have been.

But I do understand why others might feel that way, whether I personally do or not. Hence my sympathies for your loss now.

[hagrides]

And my sympathies for yours, regardless of your feelings on them.
