[ date doesn't even get to order his own drink before he's plummeting into the hole alongside rynlan, which is a minor annoyance, but enough of one that there's a put out little "hey!" from him that follows them on their tumble.
he doesn't get a lot of time to take in his bearings or take in almost anything before he's being thrown into whatever memory has rynlan so spooked and agitated.
he can't understand a lot of it -- prosthetics? those are fine. he knows what those are in theory, but how these are working, being made... it's unfamiliar to him. there's something about it that reminds him of the white of the psync room, glowing lights circling the psync machine, stark and quite frankly sci-fi. but the talk of mana and the overall feeling from the memory is foreign and strange.
and the man? he can only assume from context that the person he's seeing is rynlan. even though they look so, so different.
when the memory fades, he opens his own mouth to say something, but before the words come out his own memory (3:54-- 9:33; cw: talk of child abuse) is too busy parading itself around on the screen.
there's something a little tight about the set of date's mouth as he watches this one. somewhere between anger, anxiety and deep, fresh grief all rolled into one. ]
