038: I'm In the Kitchen, Boiling Society

[contract_star]

[Hei appears on the Plane, with an expression like he's looking for something. He looks a bit different today. He's wearing quite a few layers, unlike last time--Diva's mansion is still warm, but in Tokyo winter is starting. And you might notice that Hei is starting to grow his hair out.]

[He's also carrying a generator, which he sets down near the Astral Kitchen. He then raids the kitchen, opening cupboards and the refrigerator. Eventually he stands up and shakes his head.]

Not here...where did I leave them?

Has anyone seen a bag of leeks?

Like what? Like trying to make sure they'll have a chance of remembering you?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

They won't remember. They'll just... pretend to.

[contract_star]

[Clenches his jaw to keep from yelling.]

That's not...what it is at all.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[By now, he's just... queit. Tired.]

Then what?

[contract_star]

It's...it's reconnecting. It's about not...not just letting it happen.

[Looks Ryotarou in the eye.] I wouldn't pretend to remember you. The things I'm writing down will just--they'll be a base to start over from.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... It could happen more than once.

[contract_star]

Then I'll have a starting point that I could use more than once.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I don't like it.

[contract_star]

[Tiredly,] Then what would you like me to do?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[It's unreasonable and he knows it, but it's the only option that he can see. Isn't it?] ... you already know what.

[contract_star]

And you already know I can't do that.

[He just looks away again and nods.]

[contract_star]

[Just sighs because fjdkalfjdkal this situation is so messed up.]

Ask Sakurai about your leeks.

[... and he disappears. He doesn't want to talk about this any longer.]
