[shinsengumi]

Who are you? What do you believe in? What do you stand for?

Or, this.

[ceaseless]

... What do you mean, again?

[regeneration]

I-I, it, I don't know. I forgot everything. I forget everything. I came back. I come back, every time. It's scary. It's hard. I just want... I want Aubrey, I want to go to the woods and stay there. It's quiet there. It's safe.

[ceaseless]

Be calm, sir. It's safe here. I promise you. No one can make you choose anything.

[Soothe soothe soothe, because what else can you do? Just what has happened to this poor man? Short sentences, nice and simple.]

I can stay with you until you find your Aubrey. Would you like that?

[regeneration]

Yes. Keep that man away from me. Keep them all away from me, please.

[Kieran huddles down, near enough. He shakes his head.]

I didn't even know how to walk. Now I know everything, and it all hurts.

[ceaseless]

[He'll do his best to keep them all away, if he must, but...]

Which man?

[Not sure what to make of that second statement for now...]

[regeneration]

[Kieran looks hurriedly in Solus's direction, gestures weakly and then shakes his head again, dissolving into slumped muteness.]
