"Go then. There are other worlds than these..."

[Enter Yosuke, seemingly mid-jump when he appears. He stands up, looks around... and frowns.]

Thiiiis isn't the usual spot. What gives? We used the same TV as always, I know we did.

Wait. ... Where did everybody go? [Cue frantic looking about.]

Yeah. The bike, right? But you're alive. And it's not like I don't crash every now and then.

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[... sigh.]

Would you believe me if I said I wasn't?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... Wait. You're not alive?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[... snrk.] As cool as it would be to be able to haunt people or something, no. Past tense.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

Past t-... [He raises an eyebrow.] So before I assume you're a zombie version of me, do you want to explain yourself?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and assume you know who or what Izanagi is?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] Yeah, I do...

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[He spreads out his arms and smirks.]

Hi. How you doing?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

... [He points, opens his mouth like he's going to say something, but that doesn't work.]

...

[x2.] .... You're Izanagi?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Well... [He scratches the back of his head.]

Sort of?

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[Geez, can you possibly break his brain any more?]

O... kay, can you explain a bit more now?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Well, since you asked so nicely...

[He lowers both his arms, shrugs, then crosses them.] When I crashed, I... didn't actually make it. But something came over me and I was able to move again. It felt like something had changed, but I honestly couldn't tell what...

Actually, I thought I was going crazy for a while there.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[He pieces it together, but he's not all that confident that he pieced it together right...]

... So you really died. [Yeah, he pales a little at that. But Izanagi brought you back to life...

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

[Slowly nods.]

And... now I guess we're kind of one person.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

That's so unreal...

[He stays quiet for a moment. He then shakes his head, smiling a bit, with a quiet little laugh.] You know, you might be wrong about one thing, though. In some ways, dying and getting another chance to live is the high point of good luck.

[He blinks... then laughs too. He doesn't know about how they destroyed that woman—the woman, really. How much it took for him to do it. He didn't know her... but he knew her better than anyone.]

You know what? You're right.

[mybfftrashcan.livejournal.com]

[The smile turns to a grin.] Hah. So I guess when things look too bad, just remember you're pretty damn lucky, huh?

[myriadtruth.livejournal.com]

Yep, guess I'll have to.
