[MEMORIES # 78-79 (SIG NEG, SIG NEU); SKILLS # 20-21]

* Fugitive, Judged and Neglected.

Won from Game 190: Murder mysteries for Marjory.

I'll replace this video with a thing that doesn't have voiceovers later but it's a long memory. Near endgame, Lloyd has to go rescue his party from where Mithos has trapped them in illusions and is trying to convince them to go over to the dark side, and then everyone has to fight three minibosses made out of the darkness in Mithos's soul.

The 'Fugitive' is the feeling of running away with nowhere to go; the Judged is the feeling that murderers should be punished regardless of the reasoning (Mithos going 'destroy all humans' because a human shanked his sister, here); the Neglected is bitterness against fantasy racism.

+ There's a layer of THIS IS REALLY STUPID here (because it is) but there's also a lot of invasiveness and projection and really quite terrible emotional manipulation happening and a lot of yelling. It's a highly private memory because it contains details about so many people's pasts but it's also one of the better ones for showcasing the spread of character feelings/ideologies, I think. Also, Lloyd's a spider. Also I guess bits of Mithos's soul get killed?
+ Not taken.

* "I know it's selfish, but...please stay with me tonight?"

Won from Game 197: Serah's heart.

Partway through his stint of traveling alone to gather most of the Summon Spirits, Mithos gets kind of depressed and lonely without his party and calls on the Spirits he's already pacted with outside of a battle, asking them if they'll keep him company for a while. It's strange and shy and moody and bittersweet; it's one of his very few hero-era memories of reaching out to people and starting to feel them out as friends.

* Sword artes, starting with Demon Fang and progressing through tiers.

Won from Skill Game 35: Skillswap for Mr. Right.

Self-explanatory, really.

+ SORDS
+ Not taken.

* Minimap.

Won from Skill Game 36: "What's in the box?" for Cecily/Masked Lady.

+ DUMB RPG SKILL THE UMPTEENTH HAVING A TINY MAP ON THE SCREEN though probably in Aather terms this just means it's a lot harder for him to get lost in dungeons and a lot easier to know where he's already been. Does not work in towns.
