OLIVER

Within the eye, mysteries of the soul burn deeply beneath the fiery chasms of love

and patiently wait for an awakening

Bastien's words made him feel far better than the other could ever imagine. To know he wasn't alone? That shit felt amazing. Knowing that others had lost their memories, he wasn't just hand picked to be fucked over with a cactus. "Yeah...it's not great. But things are starting to come back to me, sometimes I remember random things. Those little things weren't always the most helpful, but sometimes they made him feel better. Gave him something to think about at night.

"I'm sure someone did. If not then, well, that's fucking stupid. You did something so incredible." Oliver couldn't say whether they used to have something like that or not, but it was nice to know that Caido had something like that.

Bastien clearly had many dreams for the guild and all sounded simply incredible. Oliver knew that Caido kinda felt like a hell hole, tons of people dying and everyone was just super on edge. Hopefully the art would allow people to healthily release any emotions. To draw whatever came to mind, to entertain others through performances.

The blonde grinned and ran a hand through his hair. "That sounds....great. Really. Oliver wanted to visit the guild, even if he wasn't allowed to join. He wanted to see the art and passion the people felt when they dedicated themselves to the arts. It sounded amazing. Bastien's love for the art had to be a shared thing, surely others appreciated it as much as him.

"I'll have to come see those performances sometime. I know that you've already brought the joy of art to my life. Allowing me to paint on the mural was...freeing. It felt nice to have such a big canvas, to be around others who liked art. I'm sure others feel the same way."
