[After a moment, he taps the ball. It hits the edge of the archway and rebounds, but he doesn't appear to mind as he steps back to give Verso room.]

The turn is yours.

[Eventually the tipsiness will kick in and loosen his tongue. For now, they may as well play the game.]

[reverso]

[Not even an acknowledgement of what he said. Yi Sang...

Well, fine. His turn. He moves to his ball, gives it a tap with the club, and it rolls even farther than the last. Past the archways, straight under the monster's legs, stopping just short of emerging from the shadow of its tail.]

Ah, that'll be a tricky one next...

[poans]

[He is processing . . .

While he watches the ball slow to a stop in the monster's shadow, his thoughts circle around Verso's words from before. A handful of beats pass with no reaction from his end before he angles his head in the latter's direction.]

Although it is but a fleeting moment . . . is it worth more still?

[reverso]

[He seems surprised by the question, as though he merely expected Yi Sang to continue playing drearily, with little commentary.]

Hm? Every little moment like this is more precious because it's fleeting.

[For Verso, who treats this show as something resembling his last hurrah, it's even more so.]

Easy to forget that sometimes, though.

[poans]

[Shoko had told him something similar among others, only to walk back a number of them later. He wonders if this is a prevailing sentiment, and whether it's helped or wearied Verso even more.]

What serves as your reminder, then?

[reverso]

[That’s… a good question.]

I’ve seen the effect of grief when you lose someone very… important to you. The wish that you had more of those little moments between you. That kind of sadness is a stark reminder to appreciate what you have while you have it.
