John, he did not buy you that piano because he felt guilty. He bought me an electric violin and he has nothing to feel guilty about when it comes to me. He wanted to give us both something nice to welcome us into the new home. Make it feel a little more like it's ours, too. It's a gift, not pennance. I think what you need to do is tell him what you told me. If you want, you can send him our conversation word for word. Both of you need to get on the same page and soon or it's going to make living in the same house incredibly tense for you two. I can't say I like this city any better than you do right now, but it did give me the chance to have both of you in my life again. It's not all bad, but it's not great either.
[He's still not entirely convinced but he doesn't really want to argue about it.]
maybe... that's one of the things i'm really glad for being here. i don't...
[He's a little ashamed to admit it but it's true.]
i don't think i would have cared about being his friend if both he and dave were around. but it's been just me and him and the trolls so i've gotten to know him as just... davesprite. i had a talk with di about stuff and got it all figured out with her help and that's another thing that sucks about this city, nobody remembers anything when they go home. i don't want to forget he's my friend. i don't want to go back to treating him like a jerk. i don't want to forget... he's important to me.
He is just Davesprite. Sigh. The both of you and questioning what level of Dave he is has become exasperating. He has experiences that the other Dave does not, and vice versa. I'm glad you have tried to get to know him and are learning to treat him as his own person. But it's about more than that. However, I will drop that lecture for now because other matters are more pressing. Try, and I mean honestly give it your all in your attempt to fix things with him. As for returning and forgetting him... I think a part of him will always be with you even if you can't remember it. And you'll work toward repairing things with him when you return if circumstances allow.
what do you mean, it's about more than that? i know he has different experiences than dave. they're not the same exact person anymore. a part of him will always be with me? wow, rose, that sounds really cheesy. but... i'll do my best.

It might sound cheesy, but from my own experience, I would say it's quite true.
