There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

[No! He's embarrassed!!!]

Now you know why I don't talk much.

[Because he sounds corny when he does.]

[silicone]

I don't mind it...

Maybe we should go see like a cool samurai movie next time...

[allmenare]

Maybe not here. I can't go back to that movie theater.

[silicone]

Man, and not even for a good reason.

[allmenare]

They give me judgemental looks if I go back, that's a good reason.

[silicone]

We could make it an actual reason to be embarrassed if you want.

[ shut up clown ]

[allmenare]

[He swats at Eiden's arm but his hand goes right through.]

We will not. If you want to do that then we will use a hotel room.

[silicone]

[ eiden just laughs, falling back onto the grass and clutching his pin tightly to his chest. ]

A hotel room, huh? I wouldn't mind that... sounds pretty classy compared to our other options.

[allmenare]

We actually have a hotel on our side.

[Which he has been using for sleeping, but he's sure others have been using it for other things. Wenzhou and Fei Du just reunited after all.]

[silicone]

Make sure that's not where you're spending all your time, though, okay?

[ a little smile... mischief. ]

But noted...

[allmenare]

I don't spend all my time there, no.

[He's not Netzach.]

[silicone]

Then... tell me what you do with the rest of your time?

[ resting chin in his hand, holding the pin tightly in it. ]

[allmenare]

Talking with Nahida, or Kyoko, or Shen Qingqiu. Sometimes with Simon.

We have meetings over here too.

[silicone]

Of course you all do, there are some really smart people over there. Makes sense...

There's good coordinated effort coming from where you all are. It's pretty incredible.

[allmenare]

We're trying our best. Our lives and worlds are at stake.

...it's still chaotic here though.

[silicone]

[ nodding gently, and then... ]

You and Shen Qingqiu... you get along?

[allmenare]

Decently well, yes. I wouldn't call him a stranger.

[Eiden should understand what that means, that Fukuzawa is comfortable around Shen Qingqiu. High praise, when only like eight people total have earned that right.]

[silicone]

[ he knows exactly what he means by that, and he smiles warmly at the sentiment. wouldn't call him a stranger says a lot. ]

Good. He's very precious to me too, you know.

[ he looks downwards. he's lost a lot, but he's trying not to think about that. he's trying not to think about how so many people he cares about are dead. what can he do? ]

The both of you mean the world to me.

[allmenare]

Yeah, we figured that out yesterday.

[Is there sass there? Only a tiny bit. He's not upset by this discovery in the slightest. If he had to share Eiden with anyone, Shen Qingqiu is a good person to share with.]

[silicone]

Yeah?

[ raising a brow. ]

Did you two have a talk...?

[allmenare]

Somewhat. I think we both just accepted each other and moved on without thinking about it too much.

[It really does help that they both get along though.]

[silicone]

[ it really does... and he's impressed. he tries not to think about the fact that fukuzawa is just going to call it done at the end of it all. that he'll have to do that as well.

he looks away for a second, he just needs a beat to collect so many thoughts back into focus. ]

You know, I didn't think that... this would happen at all. [ his heart is racing. ]

[allmenare]

That you would have several people who cared so deeply for you?
