It's hard to imagine Yuuto as Den-O. Do Momotaros and the others like him as much as they like Nogami? I wonder if someone is making sure he eats enough shiitake...

[After a minute, he nods.] Right... But why would he do that in the first place? It... [>:]

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

It wasn't intentional. Deneb just wants to see us happy. It's not an unreasonable wish... just a difficult one.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... I wonder about that.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

... I did, too.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Huh? This earns you a questioning/curious look, Yuuto.]

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs to himself and looks away.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Sakurai.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

[a somewhat questioning, yet apathetic glance]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

What did you mean by that?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

I'm talking about the end of our story.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Is it a happy ending?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

It's what you make of it.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou doesn't answer for a little while, then he nods.] Alright.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

I mean that, Nogami. You'll be given a second chance.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

How? Ai-chan... [trails off, shakes his head and looks away] We'll have to wait and see.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

You don't believe me?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

There's more than one way for this to turn out.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

For alternate timelines, we're pretty similar.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

And yet... we still make different decisions. Did you ever go to the Milk Dipper?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

... Yes.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[pause... then a small, sad smiles and he shakes his head]

Sakurai - my Sakurai - drags me there almost every other day, even if I don't want to go.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

You aren't curious about her life, even in the slightest?

I went originally because I wanted to know everything. And it ticked him off, too.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... I am, but... [frown] She doesn't know who I am. She didn't know you at your age in your timeline, right? But she knew me.

[pause] It did?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

She... thought I looked familiar, and once, even started to remember... But that's all. It didn't last long.

[He nods slowly.] He didn't believe that me and Sakurai were the same person at first. He didn't want me to trigger her memories and confuse the situation, either.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I... don't want to risk it.

What about you? Why would you want to possibly have her remember, even if it might make the situation that much worse?
