Zephyr looks at Fire Spirit cookie who was leaning on the window sill holding the emerald in hand, examining it carefully, Zephyr noticed how calm and quiet Fire Spirit is today and was curious so he approached him from behind

Zephyr: you seem awfully quiet today...
Fire Spirit: mh... I guess I got nothing to yap about today...
Zephyr: is that so...
Fire Spirit: so... What do you think? What should I do...?
Zephyr: hmm...?
Fire Spirit: I mean about your situation here... What should I do? If I break this thing you'll be free but... If I break it I might also risk erasing you too... So what should I do?
Zephyr: I do not know... I have very little memories of the past... Most of them come and go as they please... The rest are beginning to become fuzzy...
Fire Spirit: so you really don't remember how you ended up like this?
Zephyr: only fragments of what did happened remains in my mind... I mostly remember the first time I stepped foot into this mansion... Then something else happened... I remember a strange red light shining before me... I was coughing up blood... And the rest... Nothing
Fire Spirit: that's not enough to go off on... From the sound of it you might have been killed... But could also possibly dying before getting cursed... Man this is difficult!
Zephyr: ... There is nothing that can be done about it then... There was never a chance I leave this gem or this mansion in the first place... Perhaps I'm bound to stay here forever...
Fire Spirit: oh come on don't say that, I'll get you out of this thing eventually, we just need to find out what happened to you, maybe there were missing cookie posters we could find that resembles you
Zephyr: I wouldn't be so sure...

Fire Spirit went ahead and took his laptop and started typing on it

Fire Spirit: so how long did you say you've been stuck in here?
Zephyr: possibly 10 or 20 years now... I have lost count...

Fire Spirit continues to type on the laptop and looks at the results of the search, he was looking for potential look alikes to Zephyr but suddenly stops when a certain poster of a green cookie appears on screen, Zephyr wasn't sure why he stopped as he could only see bits and pieces of things but there a strangely familiar looking cookie on the missing cookie poster, Fire Spirit looked at the photo with a unpleasant expression and continues to search other posters, Zephyr notices his unease and couldn't help himself

Zephyr: was he someone special to you...?
Fire Spirit: h-huh? What? No I don't know what your talking about
Zephyr: I may not be able to see everything but I don't need sight to see that you clearly have a special connection to that cookie...
Fire Spirit: ... He was someone I really loved ok...? I honestly never thought I be loving someone... Run along that guy of all cookies, back when we first met I never stopped pesting him... I just some reason really like being around him you know...? We would bicker with each other all the time and it was always so fun to mess with him... We did eventually stopped and started to get along and eventually... I wanted to ask him out but before I could even told him he...

Zephyr didn't say a word, he seemed to be a little surprise or was caught off guard for a moment, he quietly reached out a hand as if he wanted to hold Fire Spirit cookie but was reminded of what he was so he retreated his hand, Fire Spirit cookie then looks at him calmly

Fire Spirit: what about you? Did you ever have someone special with you?
Zephyr: I think i did... I can't remember fully what they were like but... Pieces of feelings and memories still remains... They were loud and obnoxious just like you
Fire Spirit: hey!
Zephyr: but they were warm... It always feels so nice to be around them even if it's hard for me to admit... I liked how their presence brings me warmth... I remember how i loved to see them smile... But now im not sure if i even remember their face anymore...
Fire Spirit: do you think that cookie is still around?
Zephyr: I could only hope they are ok
Fire Spirit: what about their name? Maybe we can find them
Zephyr: I'm afraid I don't remember the names of the past...
Fire Spirit: *sigh* this is going to be difficult...
Zephyr: it's fine you don't have to go through all this for my shakes anyway...

Zephyr looks outside the window as the winds blows through his hair and a sad smile paints over his face

Zephyr: there's nothing left for me out here... I never have chance to be with them and what I remember was my past is probably long gone... Maybe it was better off if I disappear... I never want to be a burden for someone
Fire Spirit: hey shut up with that crap! Nobody is a burden ok? I'm sure whoever you know is still somewhere out there waiting for you! So that just means you have to get out of that stupid gem and find them even more! And I'll help you with it even if it's the last thing I do!

Zephyr was surprised by Fire Spirit determination as it reminds him of a memory of another determined cookie who was as loud as he was prideful, Zephyr couldn't help but smile to himself and uses his sleeves to hide his mouth as he let's out a small laughter but Fire Spirit still heard it and was surprised as this was the first time he ever heard the spirit laughed, he couldn't help but feel a familiar feeling starting up inside his chest but he shakes his head to snap himself out of it

Zephyr: you are one strange cookie...
Fire Spirit: hey what can I say? I'm just that great!
