[It shouldn't come as any surprise that Albedo's answer is vague. Neither forthright nor honest, something veiled just enough not to leave one with no purchase. Yet the lack of answer says far more than Jr. assumes Albedo means it to. When he skirts around a subject, it makes a statement all its own, and in that omission there's a louder message than colorful wordplay might convey.
Although in some ways that banter, however biting it was at times, felt lighter than silence does now.
For his part, Jr. chooses not to question it further. Albedo's emotions are a loaded jumble, louder even than loaded silence, and far more difficult to respond to. There was a time when dealing with his brother's feelings seemed simpler - more likely, he hadn't understood them as well as he'd assumed he had.
Eventually, he moves along with the subject at hand, responding not to Albedo's obscure answers but instead to his earlier statement]
The past's not that bad, as long as you don't get lost in it. What's anyone without memories?
[Though it's not really the point, at least it's something he believes. As painful as parts of the past are for Jr., he wouldn't discard them. Sometimes he'd wished he could, but in the end, they define who he is.
Whether Albedo feels the same about it may be another matter entirely]
