Rono's brow furrowed in contemplation, grappling with the weight of the snake's words. "Someone important? Like family? Friends?" he ventured, seeking to unravel the mystery that enshrouded them both in a veil of uncertainty.

The snake's sigh carried an air of melancholy, "I don't know. It's all... foggy. What about hobbies?" it continued, its voice tinged with a sense of longing. "

What do you enjoy doing?" Rono's mind raced as he searched for an answer, the uncertainty of his own memories intertwining with the enigma of the snake's forgotten past. "Hobbies? Like... what do you enjoy doing?" he echoed, the words hanging heavy in the cool night air.

A sudden thrill, a strange tingling sensation, ran through the snake. "Do you feel that?" he asked Rono, its tongue flicking thoughtfully.

The Rono paused, "Feel what?"

"This... this feeling," the snake struggled to explain. "Like someone or something is missing, something important."

The snake considered this for a moment.

For a long moment, neither of them spoke. The wind stirred the leaves above them. The snake's eyes softened. The snake leaned in, its luminous eyes fixed on Rono with an intensity that transcended mere curiosity, "So, what if I help you to remember?"

"You'd asked? Even if you remember nothing?"

The snake's reply was simple yet profound, "Maybe by talking. Sharing."

"I think," Rono said, his voice steady, "that remembering isn't the only thing that matters. Being here is a start."

As Rono, Peta, Konane and Eztli opened their eyes, a sense of anticipation lingered in the air." Zacil, did you hear them?" Eztli's voice carried a hint of excitement as she turned to Zacil. "Did you at least see your spirit animals?"
