Joseph's POV:

"Aesop...." After a moments silence, I spoke up again

"Yes?" Aesop tilted his head in confusion and concern.

"I- I- Think i remember everything..."

My life felt like it was literally flashing before my eyes. all these unfamiliar, yet so so very familiar, thoughts and feelings and memories where filling up in my head. So much was coming to me so fast it felt like my head would just shut off-

"Joseph...?" Aesop tilted his head up at me and furrowed his eyebrows in worry.

I pulled him tight into my chest, making sure not to hurt him, and slowly fell to my knees. 

"Joseph are you alright?!" Aesop was sat up now, both hands holding the sides of my head and staring into my eyes. 

"Aesop- I - i really do remember everything... every little detail-" Before i could even process it my eyes where filled with tears from having to watch over everything replay out in my head again.

"You're back you're finally back!" Aesop began to cry too, bringing our lips together and passionately kissing me. "God i missed you so much!" He breathed- pulling away and hugging me tightly. 

"I know, trust me I know- I missed you too, so very much dear!" I brushed Aesop's hair with my hands as he relaxed into me. "I love you so much Darling, i wont ever leave you again i promise, i wont let anything happen to you again!"

Aesop nodded into my chest and intertwined our fingers, a sign to show he understands and would do the same for me too. 

"JOSEPH WHAT ARE YOU DOING! CHAIR HIM ALREADY!" Antonio called from a few paces away.

"Shit- " I mumbled under my breath, i just remembered everything and finally got to see Aesop again but now i have to continue this stupid game- great! "Sorry dear do you mind-"

"No its okay Darling, see you later, yeah?" Aesop mumbled, smiling up at me softly.

"Mhm." I carried him over to the rocket chair and placed him gently down in it, making sure to not tie the ropes too tightly. "Love you Dear."

"Love you too Jose-" I planted a soft kiss on Aesop's forehead before he got sent off to the manor.

Joseph's POV:

I walked over to my desk and pulled out my old pocket watch that Aesop had asked me to fix for him a while ago. I was meant to give it to him the next time we met but that's when he began ignoring me- 

I shook my head and mumbled to myself. "Everything's fine now i shouldn't worry about that anymore..."

Checking the time, 2:56 am, I realised i should probably head out now. I put the watch in my coat pocket, before leaving my room and heading for the survivors room door.
