Memory 42 - Significant Neutral

Memory 42: Nightmares

I somehow lost this memory in my write-ups so I'm sticking it here. :|b

Memory goes here through Page 5 of Chapter 25. Ignore the parts without Zero.

What he learns?
- After Shizuka's death, he was haunted by his desire to kill...
- This caused nightmares of hurting Yuuki.
- He tried to kiss Yuuki before, but decided he did not want to sully her.
- He tried to blame it all on a dream. :x

What this means in Aather?

At the time he actually took this memory, it stirred up a lot of feelings about Yuuki and how he felt about her versus how he felt about Ace and how damn confusing it was to feel similarly for two very different people.

Memory 43 - Significant Negative

Memory 43: Calling Yuuki by her name for the first time in a long time

Memory goes here through the end of the chapter. Skip scenes without Zero.

Also, my god is this a wonky translation. |D

What he learns?
- One of the pureblood's servants has escaped from Sara and is trying to kill her for killing her master.
- He is protecting Sara? WHY?
- Yuuki was shocked to hear him use her name...
- They originally thought Kaname killed this pureblood.
- Kaname did something to Ichiru???
- He can no longer stand Yuuki being willing to forgive Kaname.
- Kaname's been watching them this whole time!

What it means in Aather?

Well, Zero sure needed more of a reason to hate Kaname. |D He doesn't know what Kaname did to Ichiru, but he knows the very, very intense rage he felt in the moment he was taking out his fury on Yuuki so he figures it must be something pretty wretched. To the point where he can no longer let Yuuki believe in Kaname, despite how much he knows she loves Kaname. He's also not sure what to make of the fact that he's protecting Sara since she seems to be an especially dangerous pureblood. He already knows she was involved in the corrupted blood tablet scheme. So there has to be some twist to this. Maybe it's a ruse... Still, it doesn't make him feel especially happy with himself.

Sadly, much of this other stuff is kind of overwhelming the fact that he is using Yuuki's name for what seems a very long time, given her reaction. There are some subdued feelings about that too. But mostly RAGE AT FUCKING KANAME!!!

Memory 44 - Significant Negative

Memory 44: Hunt gone wrong

Memory goes here through Page 7 and then picks up again at Page 16 through 17 and then again at Page 23 through Page 25.

Yes, this memory will be disjointed as we still don't know wtf was up with that scene.

What he learns?
- This is the continuation of Kaitou telling him that Yuuki had been arrested. She was even in handcuffs.
- Her presence was messing with his blood as always, and Kaitou could tell.
- He went out to hunt a vampire that had targeted a child when something messed with his bloodlust...
- All in all, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE-MAKING

What this means in Aather?

Really, this is just a fucking confusing memory since he's not really sure what happened, just that he messed up his hunt and it affected the child he was trying to save in some way... Disconcerting...
