Memory 25

Gained on: Day 204, Masked Lady's game
Form: Memories are in the form of little teddybear head-shaped wagashi in your team's color. Awwww. I'm sure their beady little candy eyes won't stare at you judgingly all.
Shareable: ???/??? (not taken)

Memory:
Trivial-Neutral - Talking with Coulomb after eating his cooking. (Drama CD)



from the translation I did a while ago

Ling is eating with Coulomb. The two of them had known each other since Ling was still a child, since Coulomb used to be one of his teachers and was the one to teach him sword fighting and martial arts. Coulomb remarks that Ling was still a child last time they met. It was Ling who sentenced Coulomb to death under the accusation he was scheming a conspiracy to kill Ling's older siblings, in order to put him on the throne.

Ling: "Coulomb... you should be dead. Why are you still alive?"

Coulomb explains that he was a pretty popular guy and that people helped him escape. Ling is pretty pissed but Coulomb stops him: "Ling, you were my treasure. Making you Emperor was my dream."

Ling: "Just as I thought... you're someone who's better off dead!"

Coulomb insists, however. "I'll make you Emperor, Ling!"


What he learns:
- Coulomb is skeevy holy shit
- You sentence one guy to death and people help him escape can't you trust anyone these days? :(
- FINALLY REMEMBERS XINGESE FOOD as in the scene Coulomb remarks that Xingese food is the best, after Ling says the meal is delicious.

Considerations:

Coulomb memories sort of always hit Ling in the feelings so this one won't be any exception. There is slight emotional manipulation in this memory and Ling picks up on it, which makes it worse because sentenced to death or not Ling really did see him as a older brother. In general there is a lot of hurt over the general situation, upset feelings at seeing him still alive (in the memory-- in Aather Ling already received other Coulomb memories so he knew already) and so on.
