Joscelin's eyes suddenly burn with tears, and he looks away stubbornly so that Misa can't see.
"That was my family," he says eventually, voice quiet. "Romeo, Mum, Ginia. The people I loved the most." He takes a deep, steadying breath, and continues:
"I was in another world before this one. About two years ago, I was summoned to...a sort of afterlife, I suppose. I was told that I was dead--which was true, just not the way I thought--and that I was a spirit weapon for a god or goddess. Ayumu--Mum--was my goddess. My world. She gave me a name and I became her vessel to defeat evil spirits. Through whatever process that brought me to that world and turned me into that spirit weapon, I also lost all of my memories from my time before. I knew I was called Joscelin Fitzthomas, but that was it. That's where I met Romeo, and Ginia." He grows even quieter still. "I was happy, not remembering. But somehow, I was brought here and I suddenly remembered it all. Romeo stayed the same. He's still a spirit vessel, still doesn't have his own memories. Now I'm human and he isn't and I'll age and he won't. It's not fair."
He sighs.
"I saw something too, actually. There was a market, and a man with a gun? You had a knife."
