Era can't help the way her body tenses and shudders, a visceral reaction from body and soul at the recollection regardless of how much effort she's put into have her mind detach itself from it. Even Ardbert lets out a little whimper, crawling down her arm to plant itself firmly in the space between her and Hades, seeking out the Darkness he exudes whilst still refraining from outright touch.

"My mind is... muddled," she confesses. "Like the first time I awoke, when I was absent of all memory. I think I've... forgotten things, where my mind stumbles over thought."

Era moves closer to Ardbert, so that her hip touches the weasel again. It also means she's moved closer to Hades, though much like the soul-creature the Warrior of Light doesn't seem bothered by this.

"...But worry not, for I haven't forgotten you, Hades."

The attempt at lightheartedness falls flat, for that promise to her fallen enemy-friend weighs far too heavy on her heart.
