thinking about Mirabelle asking Siffrin not to forget her in the end talks
“…But don’t forget me, okay?”
“D-don’t forget about me on your journey, okay!” (friendquest)
“Don’t forget, okay?” (friendquest repeated interaction)
three times, in different ways, when she thinks they’ll be parting ways soon. not just “don’t forget to come visit,” but “don’t forget about me.”
and Loop’s last words to Siffrin in 2hats being nearly the exact same
“So don’t forget me, okay...?”
it’s like... a hope. a plea. a fear. a promise. i don’t want to forget you, i don’t want to be forgotten by you. i know you struggle with that, i hope i'm not something you lose. i existed, i was here with you, you meant something to me. i hope i meant something to you, too. i'm afraid i'm not worth remembering, in the end. i'm afraid that even if i am worth remembering, maybe that won't matter, won't be enough. i want to live on in your heart like you'll live on in mine. just hold on until we find each other again. please. i know it's not really something you can control, but promise me anyway.
don't forget me, okay?
