"Sometimes, people do not have reasons for why they do things. Sometimes, they have reasons that only make sense to themselves. Regardless, their reasons do not justify their actions if they hurt you." Ingo hums. "I know that it can be frustrating to not know why someone did something, but... sometimes, we do not get an answer. Sometimes, answers do not even help."

He pauses. "My daughter, before she met me and I adopted her, was taken in by a group of settlers who lived near my Clan. There was an incident at one point, and she was exhiled despite doing nothing wrong. I later learned the reasons why the leader of the group exhiled her, but... it did not make things better. It make me even angrier with him, in all honesty. ... I apologise if it seemed as though I took over the conversation for this anecdote, but... it seemed applicable to your situation, and I thought it might help, or at least make you feel as though you are not alone."

*Well, there is a door here.

It seems... odd. It doesn't have a handle, but seems like it'll open on its own when some kind of condition has been met. There's no note on it, but upon closer inspection, it appears to be the kind of automatic doors seen on subway trains. Though there is a window on it, the area beyond it is completely dark and impossible to discern.

The sound of people can be heard when near the door... as if the other side is connected to some sort of public area... perhaps a train station?*

"... Well, at least they cannot harm you anymore." Ingo hums, slightly. "So there is that."

"I see." Ingo's tone is still polite, but there's an edge to it that makes it clear he isn't upset at Archie, but he is upset. "... theoretically, if you were to discover the identity of the individual who did this to you, would you like to make them regret their actions or would you prefer for someone else to do it for you?"

"Sounds like your amnesia may be trauma-induced." Ingo nods. "Mine was blunt force trauma induced personally. Concussion in a snowstorm, I do not at all reccomend it."

"That... sounds like a very anachronistic location." He blinks, and glances down to his daughter, as if checking to make sure she's alright. "Um... do you know if this specific location is safe?"

"Names are a very personal thing, so I suppose they can feel like an extension of yourself. Finding the right one if the one you were given does not fit is very important!" Ingo replies, also not knowing exactly what to say and just winging it.

"How else would we learn about outliers?" Ingo jokes, lightly.

"Ah, are you missing some of your memories?" He tilts his head. "I can relate to that, I myself have amnesia."

"I agree. Luciano is a very nice name." He nods, politely.

"Ah yes, though I have heard it refered to as Ariados Georg." He nods, chuckling.

"Ah, true. Are you looking for someone else? Perhaps I can help you find them instead."

"... we could always look around?" He shrugs. "We may as well, since we are here."

"You can still be Luciano if you wish to. Or not, if you would prefer. It is up to you." He shrugs. "I am Warden Ingo of the Pearl Clan. He and him."

"Ah, I see." He nods, politely. "Yes, that tends to cause unexpected results. It happens more often than I had expected, it seems."

"You are very welcome!" Ingo's face doesn't change, but his voice sounds like a smile. "I know firsthand how alienating it can feel when people are judgemental of how you interact with others, especially if you are already struggling. I do my best to help others avoid experiencing that."

"That is completely fair. I struggle with conversations myself, so I can relate to that." He nods, politely. "The fact you are trying is more than enough."

"Ah, I see." The man tilts his head slightly, glancing over Luciano briefly. "That is understandable. May I ask who you might be? I am quite certain we have never met before."
