the past i can’t help but forget, the history you can’t help but bear

i’ve been wanting to write something about these two for a while but haven’t quite thought out how i want a story between them to work out yet but. they’ve been on the brain

the fascinating thing about whisperain is that with her being a serial amnesiac and also a travelling doctor… you could really just justify her having a past with basically any character? that she just cannot remember? (free headcanon real estate)

the way she’s clearly haunted by knowledge that she doesn’t even know what she’s lost (see her module text!!) is sooooo ripe for exploration. iirc the game lists whisperain’s birthplace as iberia but tbh how would she know? she could just have put that down to fill out her hr file

also, the travelling doctor thing. on one hand, she’s afraid of forming onesided attachments (again that module text!!!!) and so imho she’s picking an occupation that’ll let her isolate herself from society. but at the same time. considering her frail physiology, it’s possibly also a self destructive act. god she’s so fascinating

meanwhile, dusk, arknights #1 loner. similarly avoids attachment, but where whisperain throws herself into moving, moving, never allowing herself to stay still, dusk sits herself by the stream of history and watches everyone leave her instead. but she clearly still has a strong sentimentality in her (see: dawn + the painting that who is real is set in) that she hasn't let go of...

anyway, i’m just saying, i think they might have a fun time bonding over films. and if they met before… and got to know each other… and one of them is cursed to remember, and the other is cursed to forget… weeell
