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...

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?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

... It gets to you.

[He's silent for a while, just... staring out into oblivion.]

Someday... surely... she said...

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Surely...?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

Someday... surely...

[He gathers himself a little.]

Everything... will fall into place. It won't be easy. It might even take a long time. But... it's not hopeless.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[pause, then a nod]

A-and... I won't be completely alone, either, right?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

Never.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[glances down for a moment, then back up... and smiles just a little]

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

[a slight nod, then he looks away again, pondering other things]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Thank you.

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

[blink, startle, glance]

... It's nothing.

Btw, Daluchan? We totally warned you. ♥

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Maybe to you, but... to me, it means a lot.

Yup. ♥

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

[A pause... and then he smiles a little. It's like a snerk, but his sarcasm has lost its edge.]

Both of you think too much.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou blinks, then decides to pretend a pout-y indignant.]

Well, it's better than not thinking enough, isn't it?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

It looks more like you're trying too hard.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[... pout.]

Too hard to what?

[dividingzero.livejournal.com]

To look like you actually have common sense.
