[So he's gone? Yuto sighs to himself, then looks at Sora for a moment, before he sits down on the couch next to him.]
...I know how you must be feeling now. Two people I knew vanished too. [He pauses] ...One of them was my first god. The other... was someone who was like a brother to me.
[Yuto is silent for the next couple of moments, but when he replies his voice is calm.]
When Yuya vanished it was very sudden, but with my god it was a little different. [He pauses, before explaining:] Yuya and I both served under the same god. When Yuya went missing, I couldn't accept he just vanished so I searched everywhere for him. But he was nowhere to be found. Then Vector - my god told me he'll search for Yuya in Hell. I wanted to go with him, but Vector forbid me from doing so and even told me to find a new god.
[Yuto frowns to himself and sighs.]
Some time later everybody got worried about him, they tried to search for him in Hell, but it turned out Vector never went there. He just vanished.
Somebody told me that maybe Vector knew he was going to disappear and that was why he told me to find a new god...
[This is all very shocking information for Sora. Ventus never said anything to anyone about disappearing. But...
Sora reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ribbon that Ventus left.]
This was Ventus' bracelet. We used to joke that we all needed bracelets to tell each other apart because we look like triples. Him, me and our friend Roxas. I found it on my bed and then I just knew that he was gone.
[Sora frowns.] Maybe he knew he was going to disappear too? [It's a scary thought.]
[That is alarming information. Though, Sora does vaguely remember someone named Hisoka who used to be shinki and turned god too… Would that happen to Ventus? Would he change into a shinki? Did it go backwards like that? Suddenly so many confusing questions.]
Returned as a god… Are you sure he doesn’t remember what happened before? But…does he have old memories…now?
[He’s unsure he should ask that question, seeing as Yuto is a shinki.]
Well things haven’t changed between you guys then, right? You can still be close like brothers. That’s what matters!
[It must be hard for Yuto to deal with having to find out something like that. But he doesn’t think that should change anything between him and his friend.]
My best friend is a shinki, and even if he doesn’t remember me and I remember everything we’re still friends. Things are kind of different now, but mostly it's still the same.
[Yuya is still important to him. Yuto wants to protect him no matter what.]
...That's why I decided to stay with him. [He mutters, then shakes his head.
Sora's next words sadden him and remind him not only of Yuya, but also of Shun. Apparently, Yuto and Shun were friends in the past but Yuto doesn't remember any of that.]
I see... [He pauses, looking at Sora with a small frown.] But it must be still hard for you.
[Yuto’s words make him nod and smile. Wanting to stay with your important friend. He gets that. Probably better than most people, he gets that.]
It’s hard but at least I can be there for him. I can watch out for him and just being able to be around makes me feel better. It was hard for him to give me a chance at first but it’s getting better!
[Nothing hurt more than the sting of Riku forgetting all about him. But he had to be optimistic and hopeful that that someday things would go back to the way they were. Those thoughts made him happy.]
[It helps Sora listening to Yuto. It really puts it into perspective for him. Things had to be slow and patient. He wasn’t the best at those things but he’d try his best. For the sake of his friendship.]
Thanks for telling me all that, Yuto. I really appreciate it.
[Sora grins at Yuto, giving him a reassured tap of his fist to Yuto's shoulder.]
As long as we're all together and looking out for each other and no one gets hurt, that's all we can ask for right now. Maybe things will change in the future.
Well, we're friends right? Quality over quantity! [He says this with friendly confidence, but knows Yuto probably still considers him a new friend in the very least. He ventures to say it anyway.
He hadn't heard of a god not leaving his temple often. Well... Roxas was a grumpy shut in, but that was different.]
...Most of the time he's using his computers to gather information...
[But Yuto doesn't know the details. Still, as long as Yuya isn't doing anything bad he doesn't feel concerned. Not like Yuya could do something bad anyway!]
[Hanging out with both Sora and Yuya, huh... Yuto considers this for a longer moment. He's completely unsure if this would be a good idea or a really bad idea.]
...I don't know. Maybe.
[As long as they wouldn't drag Yuto around and make him do things he doesn't want to do.

I'm so sorry Yuto...
When this happens...do they just vanish like this? It feels unfair that we can't say goodbye.

I don't know, but... It'll be okay, Sora. Yuya came back. [There's hope.] So the others will come back one day as well.
[They have to believe in that.]
no subject
I’m glad you have Yuya back. I hope I’ll be able to see Ventus again too! Thank, Yuto. I just hope he’s safe wherever he is.
no subject
...But there is one more thing. Yuya came back, but he doesn't remember ever being here.
[He closes his eyes.]
He returned as a god.
no subject

[He’s unsure he should ask that question, seeing as Yuto is a shinki.]
no subject
And yes, he does remember the past now.
[Yuto hesitates.]
Yuya and I... we look so much alike, that I thought we had to be siblings, but now that Yuya has his memories back, he told me that I was wrong.
[This is why he said that Yuya was like a brother to him. Well, he still is. Just now Yuto knows they aren't twins.]

But I'm also sure everything will be okay. Even if it'll take time.
[Just like Sora, Yuto wants to be optimistic as well.]
no subject
Thanks for telling me all that, Yuto. I really appreciate it.
no subject
I wish I could do more.
[But there really isn't much they can do - they have to keep on moving forward and hope for the better future.]
no subject
[Sora grins at Yuto, giving him a reassured tap of his fist to Yuto's shoulder.]
As long as we're all together and looking out for each other and no one gets hurt, that's all we can ask for right now. Maybe things will change in the future.
So what's Yuya like?
no subject
Yuya is... a person that keeps smiling no matter what.
[He pauses.]
...I think the two of you would get along.
no subject
[Sora grins happily at that.] I'd like to meet him sometime! Any friends of yours must be great!
[He's starting to see why Yuto reminds him of Riku once in a while. It was sort of parallel how Yuya and Yuto were to him and Riku.]
no subject
[He pauses then thinks about what he's just said.]
...Though now he doesn't really leave the shrine too often.
no subject
He hadn't heard of a god not leaving his temple often. Well... Roxas was a grumpy shut in, but that was different.]
Why doesn't he?
no subject
I guess you're right.
[Consultations Sora. You have been acknowledged as a friend!
As for the question...]
He's... working.
[Well, kind of.]
no subject
Working? On what?
[He's just curious!]
it was supposed to be "congratulations" orz
...Most of the time he's using his computers to gather information...
[But Yuto doesn't know the details. Still, as long as Yuya isn't doing anything bad he doesn't feel concerned. Not like Yuya could do something bad anyway!]
It's okay! I got it!
Oh, he's one of those types. [Sora laughs, obviously knowing more people just like that.]
Well maybe we can all hang out sometime. That would be pretty fun.
;;
...I don't know. Maybe.
[As long as they wouldn't drag Yuto around and make him do things he doesn't want to do.
Because what is having fun.]
