For a short while Richard seemed to be fighting away the  darker memories then oddly enough another voice would be heard through Richards mind. "Calm yourself brother.." Though as soon as it came memories of better times were brought to the surface. One in particular would catch the attention. Richard was in front of a large house. Pausing at the door he gave a light chuckle before flinging it open. Soon gleeful yells could be heard as a wide variety of mons literally tackled him as he walked though the door. "MR SLAAAAADE!" Richard looked up surprised at having heard his name called then. yelled as he was suddenly buried beneath a pile of various mons though strangely enough a lot of these were off colored! A black and red gardevoir whereas the normal ones were white and green then there was another that was white and red. It wasn't truly clear what was going on but Kuzuha would feel richard calming down between this memory and the enjoyment of her treatment of him. As the memory progressed there would be various mons a ExVeemon wearing leathers and a red bandana, a normal renamon then oddly enough there was a silver haired human with a guitar case across his back watching the madness with a smile on his face. Just looking at the memory though she would realize that this was one of the groups Richard had helped that had decided to take their love of music to a new level. Though if anyone listened to much gothic rock around the veil she would recognize them as the inter racial band Through the Darkness. This was one of the other things Richard never mentioned. That he sponsored a band as well? He had taken some very well paying jobs earlier in life. With enough to retire for three luxurious lifetimes if he kept it to himself.<br/><br/>While Richard rested though Kuzuha would feel a presence right before her though if she opened her eyes she would see what appeared to be a shadow version of Richard with red eyes and a light smile on its face. It seemed the odd being was watching over her or what should be said is watching over Richard because shortly after she would hear that same whispering voice again "Thank you... For helping him."<br/><br/>(Yes Richard has somewhat befriended the Darkness since that event. Moreso it finds him too amusing and stepped back to a form of symbiosis. Think of it as a chaotic good. In a way richard has a split personality with the darkness having brought out the other half)
