Chapter 12: Down Memory Lane
Luxinia and Baelia attempt to understand the Grey Painter as they walk with him through his memories.
Baelia
So…that’s how you became the Grey Painter.
Grey Painter
No, that’s how I became who I was always meant to be…who I always was on the inside.
Luxinia
I don’t think that’s true…
Grey Painter
Yes it is! This is who I really am!
Luxinia
That’s not what I meant… That was not how you became what you are now… It was how you were turned into what you are now!
Grey Painter
What do you mean?
Luxinia
There's more to memories than one might think. So many details are hidden in the peripherals of our recollection, but with my ability, I can bring those shadowy corners of our memories to light.
Luxinia
Basically, it means I can follow others in your memories. It doesn’t last long in a situation like this unless I’m interacting with them or something strongly tied to them. However, I can tell there is more to this story.
Luxinia
I think there are some things you need to see.
Grey Painter
No! You said all I had to do was show you. I did that, now let me out of here already! I should never have stayed to begin with!
Baelia
It’s going to be okay!
Grey Painter
No! Let me go!
Baelia
I’m so sorry! Lux, do it now!
