[Yuuki had been doing so well.

When she wakes up on the morning of the thirteenth, there's something different. Hajime will feel it as a sense of confusion and unease, though it has yet to progress to outright stinging. It's... strange. She remembers lush greens and a blue sky that seems to stretch forever, circling around a giant tree from which the world itself seems to spring. She remembers laughter, turning to the culprit and laughing herself in sheer bliss as she takes in the world. Between the six of them, they practically have a rainbow of wings... Siune, Jun, Tecchi, Talken, Nori. She knows their names, their races, the fact that they were her comrades. But...

That's it. Just a brief glimpse into what must have been her past. A beautiful world full of friendly faces that she can't quite reach out to grasp... One that she shouldn't.

And yet...]

Shinki definitely never ever remember things... Right?

[There's no easy way to put it. But she has to know--

Is it... Really okay for her to be regaining her memories...?]

So you've talked to him about this already? I didn't think he lived with you all anymore.

[Hajime had said he'd moved on to Yuya, at least, so he made the logical assumption there.]

[sleepingknight]

He doesn’t but we still talk!!

We’re friends after all

[It’s not like they had to be living together to chat before, either.]

[revolutionfalcon]

That starting message didn't exactly give the impression you'd had a lot of chance to talk to anyone else about this.

[sleepingknight]

That’s because I didn’t talk to him then

I messaged him

[Technology is great.]

[revolutionfalcon]

Same thing. Messaging a conversation with someone still takes time even if you don't have to meet with them.

[sleepingknight]

It doesn’t take me that long to write back 

I’ve been talking to like a million people since I posted this

[…Or at least, that’s what it feels like. Shun’s free to browse her other responses, if he’s so inclined. Most of them aren’t actually private]

[revolutionfalcon]

So I see. It looks like I'm not the only person who caught on straight away, you should've worded this better if you didn't want to make it that obvious.

Anyway, that part isn't important. I can't see what you said to Yuto, but he seemed interested in learning more about his past last time I spoke to him. Was he as interested in this?

[sleepingknight]

I know I know!!!

Anyway Yuto messaged me because I don't usually make posts so he wanted to check on me

[revolutionfalcon]

Did he ask much about it after you told him what happened? Other than making sure you were okay, with him that goes without saying.

[sleepingknight]

Why do you care???

Like I said I told him everything I know isn’t that what matters

[Don’t creep on her personal messages, yeesh.]

[revolutionfalcon]

I just said I was trying to help him. Pay more attention.

I don't need to know details, I just want to know how he reacted.

[It's only circumstantial that it's her personal messages that are the focus here.]

[sleepingknight]

It’s PMs though…..

[And for a very good reason, besides.]

You should probably just ask him!

[revolutionfalcon]

[If he'd known she was going to be this precious about the vaguest information he could possibly be asking for, the conversation probably would have gone a lot worse. He's not good with things he can't see the point in.]

And I could understand the complaint if I was asking for anything specific. But I just said I'm not looking for details. I don't even care what he actually said at this point. An overall reaction is the only thing I'm interested in, because clearly it's the only thing I have any hope of getting when you're acting like you just discussed the secrets of the damned universe.

It'd be a waste of time asking him for something that general when I can just ask you.

[sleepingknight]

This isn't about that it's just weird to talk about someone else's private messages especially without asking them first!!

[She doesn't remember a bit about how much time she spent online, but she still feels inclined towards some of the etiquette she adhered to then, at least.]

[revolutionfalcon]

Do I have to spell it out for you repeatedly? I don't want the damned content of your messages. I'm asking about a reaction, which, if you know what that word even means, shouldn't give away anything about what he actually said.

Besides, if you're going to claw at details like a lifeline, technically we've been talking about his messages for the last several posts. Is that too "weird" for you?

[sleepingknight]

Worried I guess???

He's really serious so I guess he got worried because I don't usually make posts like that

There are you happy now!!!

[revolutionfalcon]

Happy, no, but I'm satisfied. [It's not exactly what he was looking for, given he was more interested in if Yuto had a reaction to the content rather than her, but he's not dragging this any further.]

That wasn't hard, was it?
