[she's lowkey such a sap. she's just glad to see one of her friends back again, even if it meant he didn't remember her.]
... It's probably the one thing I touched that I haven't fucked up. This bar.
[she's actually amazed that even her violent mood swings and everything hasn't touched it. maybe there really was something changing in her life after all...]
Something tells me that this isn't the only thing you have taken good care of.
[He might not know Vi, but he could tell just how fond she is of her. It tugs on his heartstrings a little: it's a window to the marks he has left in this place, still remembered by those he left behind.]
Regardless, you have my thanks. I think you know just how much this place means to me.
[And he means it, the warmth on his voice strangely sincere.]
Mind catching me up with the details? I'd like to know what I was doing here before, which people I've come to known.
[it's a noncommittal noise, because she's not too sure about that. the only other person would be Caitlyn... and well, she can take care of herself.

But... a lot of people you knew then are already gone. Kotone and Akira, who both work here, so you might see them. Scott, who's Kotone's boyfriend and sometimes hangs around here to look like a puppy at her. Me, but you already figured that out. That's basically the most I've seen that hung around then that're still here.
Ha! [He graciously accepts the drink. She even knows how he likes it, how kind.] That does sound like me!
[It's just as he expected, though. He traces the finger of the glass again, a kind of habit that never really dies.]
Just as I thought. None of those names ring a bell to me. This place is surprisingly cruel.
[He won't go chasing them the same way he did here. In fact, he wouldn't have bothered if not for the fact that Lupin exists. But something tells him that coming here was the right decision after all.]
If anybody asks, let them know that I'm around again. But I'm not going to look for them. This life is different from the one I had before.

[she's learned that the hard way. she'd even tried to beat up Mikey for it, once, before she knew better.]
I understand. Most of them work here, so if you're a regular, you'll probably see them anyway.
