Angela nodded.
"Yeah, of course." She said.
"Thanks for the tip." She added. "I had no idea. That's not in her files, as it's... really not pertinent to her normal health."

"Yeah." Azazel replied.
"It's been irrelevant for so long." he said.
"But now it's become potentially relevant again, weirdly enough." he said further.
"So yeah, thanks in advance." he repeated.
"Lemme know if it comes to anything." he told her.
"REALLY hope it doesn't." he then mumbled.
"I REALLY hope I'm just being paranoid."

Angela just sighed.
"At least in knowing, we know." She said. "And with any luck, since I know to look for something, it'd be something that once found, we should - in theory - be able to deal with before it's an issue."
"With any luck, anyway." She muttered.
"Oh yeah, anything regarding what caused this yet?"

Azazel shook his head.
"I don't know." he replied.
"Seriously. I have no idea." he told her.
"This situation seems oddly familiar, but... that's all I can say." he shrugged.
"I'm trying to do some investigating, but it's not going very well." he then lamented with a small sigh.
"It's frustrating."

Angela just sighed, again. She could understand that frustration.
"I ... completely understand that." She said.
"If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. Sadly, the sinkhole that you found her phone in ... well, really doesn't make a difference. It's just there. You've been, Roxie's been, and there's nothing there."
"I'm not sure what can be done."

"Neither am I." he said.
"We're trying, though." he told her.
"...I feel so bad for Cain, though." he then mumbled.
"Just... yeah, this hit him hard." he said further.
"His mother's always been the biggest rock in his life, someone that he can always anchor himself to, and now... now he doesn't have that." he went on, shaking his head.
"At least he has Lunet." he added.

"Yeah, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for him." Angela commented.
"Although, Aedan has told me something in confidence. She honestly feels bad about how she doesn't recall him at all, but she does seem to have echoes of a child i her memories. I think maybe she's recovering all that she's lost overtime." She told him.
"She just didn't want to say it to you or Cain to... avoid getting your hopes up. Meanwhile, I think it'd be more imperative for you to know."

Azazel was silent for a moment, before heaving a heavy sigh.
"Well, at least it's not nothing." he said.
"That's something." he muttered.
"...maybe she'll remember him. Maybe not." he went on.
"I won't get my hopes up." he told her.
"Won't tell Cain, either. No need for him to be potentially crushed again." he sighed.
"...he doesn't need that in his life."

Angela nodded. She understood that, completely.
Just like when she'd had a similar ish experience due to that damned book and penrobbing her of what she had, it broke her heart to see her own daughter so broken regarding it.
"I... completly understand that." She said quietly.
"I don't think any of us do, really." She added before sighing.
"I just ... I dunno. I'm at a loss here. I've done so many tests - both mortal and mana - on her head to see what the hell could have caused the amnesia, and even more on her body to see if I can figure out what revived her... and everything is coming up blank."

Azazel just leaned forward a little, and hung his head slightly.
"This is confusing for all involved." he said.
"But this seems somehow... I dunno... I feel like there's an answer here, right in front of our noses." he told her.
"We just can't see it." he muttered.
"...if... that makes sense." he then added.
"Just... yeah. It makes things even MORE frustrating." he grumbled.
"And I'll smack myself when the answer inevitably comes to life." he told her.
".......assuming it DOES."

Angela didn't say anything for a few seconds before sighing.
"Here's hoping it does" She commented as she finished off her food.
"Anyway, I'm... Gonna go get a start on testing the organs I missed before." She said simply.
"I'll let you know if I find anything."

"All right." Azazel replied.
"...I'm gonna get a drink." he told her.
"Then I'll probably just... I dunno, to be honest." he then admitted.
"Probably head to the research lab and try and find something." he said further.
"Don't know if it'll help." he muttered.
"But I need to do SOMETHING."

"At this point, all we can do is try thing." Angela commented with a light sigh.
"I wish we could do more, but sadly... I don't think we can."

She was silent before knocking on the door. After the one inside had called out to her, she made he rway in and set a pile of books on the desk near him.
"Hey Cain, I found some more of your Mom's jounrals that were kept here." She told him.
"They're ones I'd been looking through a bit ago."

Cain looked over towards the one that had brought the journals, and nodded.
"Ah, thanks." he said.
"I knew I was missing a few." he commented.
"And I KNOW there's SOMETHING in these about what happened to her. There HAS to be." he went on.
"I remember her mentioning... something about it in the past. Can't remember WHAT, exactly, but I remember it." he continued.
"I know the answers have to be in these journals." he told her.
"She has info that the world... well, would rather want forgotten."
"Ah, thanks." he said.

"Well, I'm not surprised. Look at your family." She said simply and plainly.
"You're from an extremely prolific line of alchemists." She continued, taking a seat across from him.
"To say that your mother has a lot of information that she's gathered over the years... really is putting it lightly." She added with a light laugh.
"Want some help looking through them all?'

Cain just smiled lightly, but there was a hint of pain beneath it.
"Yeah, sure." he replied.
"Some help is always appreciated." he told her.
"....." he was then silent, and sighed.
"Yeah, I know alchemy is in my family." he admitted.
"It's the main reason I want to become an alchemist." he informed her. "...ok, well, it was actually my Mom. Seeing her do all that cool stuff made me want to try it, and it just blossomed from there." he explained.
"Guess alchemy runs in the blood." he went on, before pausing.
"...or whatever runs through my veins." he added with a soft chuckle.
"Yeah, sure." he replied.

"What goes through your veins is probably a mix of hell and formeldyhyde, if I'm being honest." She commented as she grabbed one of the journals.
"But who cares about literal aspects? I sure as shit don't. You're you. Who cares what you are." She paused a moment before sighing.
"Have you found anything to be potentially useful in finding out what happened to your mom?" She then asked, her tone both curious, and concerned. She knew this wasn't a good thing to be hunting for, and that there really ass no guarantee of them finding anything, but they both knew that they had to try

"....." Cain was silent for a moment.
"Kind of?" he responded.
"It's hard to say." he sighed.
"I've found a few equations and documentations of bringing spirits back, and reanimating a body, but nothing about literally bringing back the dead to... well... life." he went on.
"So... doubt it'll be useful." he concluded.
"I'm getting close, though! I just know it!" he added, his tone undaunted.

"Well, at least that's a start." She commented.
"Let's see if we can find anything else. But first... might be worthwhile for you to step out of my office here and go get some food." She added.
"I know you're technically dead, but at the same time, you do need to eat and the like, like everyone else." She paused a moment, sighing lightly. "So please? Let's go get a bite to eat."

Cain was silent, before scratching his head.
"....yeah."' he said.
"It's... weird. I need to eat, but... yeah, just... weird." he muttered.
"I'm a curiosity of a being, let's just put it THAT way." he went on.
"A bite to eat, is it. What do you want?" he asked.
"Anything in specific, or just see what's on offer?"
