Everyone---[Oh no. Not this public speaking thing again. Shu's nervous. He hopes he doesn't make a fool out of himself in front of all these people.] I'd like to know something.

I thought that maybe someone here might know the answer. Is it, normal to meet someone from your own world but....they don't have the same memories as you?

Inori.

Inori remembers something different. She says I protected the school with Ayase, but it doesn't make sense. I don't think she's lying either, so. She wouldn't do something ...like that.

[At least he thinks so. Segai's words manage to bestow a sense of insecurity on him.

Beware of those who tell you to believe in yourself, Shu. Inori might very well wish to use you and removing anyone who might take away that control through this manipulation.

Is it really alright to believe in her and the Funeral Parlor? He doubts them for a minute.]

[Pause.]

For those of you who just arrived, I guess.

Please, be careful. I don't want to see any of you get hurt here. There's a hospital in the Sigyn district and... [Wait, he's in no position to be telling them what to do. Stop right there, Shu.]

That's about it.

[What on earth did he just say to everyone?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, I did. It wasn't that hard to find you. This network doesn't have much in the way of security.

[... yes, he was snooping like a creeper, why do you ask?]

[There's nothing with this.]

Then you know Inori's here too.

...

Those are some big words coming from a terrorist group leader. You've probably hacked into more complicated systems before in the past, right?

[A slight nod in response to that.]

Compared to them, this is mere child's play.

[Okay, so maybe he's still figuring out just how it works, but so far it doesn't seem that complicated. Give him enough time and he'll have it figured out.]

[Gai's still cocky as ever. Maybe not much time has passed between them.

Unfortunately, Shu can't even grasp the reality of Gai being present in the city.

Have a curious stare.

~~Just making sure you aren't a creeper or anything...~~]

[Shu, please don't BSOD on him yet, he still has questions. There will be plenty of time for that later.]

Shu.

What's the last thing you remember from our world?

[This is important. He needs to know how much YOU know.]

[Gai, you give him too many feelings.]

Huh? Well...we just got back from Oshima. That's where I used to live as a kid and....[They totally went on a terrorist mission then.]

You made me bring Tamadate Souta there.

From Oshima...

[... oh. That makes things vaguely awkward. Note to self, don't tell Shu that you die. This is probably not the best information to dump on someone who is already surprised to see you.]

I know what I made you do.

[Awkward forever. Yes, don't tell him right away.]

How about yourself? What's the last thing you remember?

[Shu. Don't ask.]

... it isn't very clear. But I do remember that we won our fight against Keido.

[It's not entirely a lie. In fact, it's mostly true.]

Edited 2012-03-15 19:08 (UTC)

Seriously?

[He looks surprised. ]

Is he from the GHQ?

[This is the only conclusion he can come up with.]

Yes, that's right.

[... okay let's change this subject before Shu starts asking too many questions.]

But enough about that. My research tells me that you're in Sigyn, while Inori is in Heimdall. Seems like I've been assigned to Heimdall as well-- I suppose that's fitting enough for someone who devotes their life to a cause.

[You know it would happen.]

You're already on top of everything, aren't you?

[A heavy sigh. There's no way Shu can ever hope to compete with that.]

Inori's in Heimdall with you. Don't do anything mean to her there please.

[Of course he is, Shu, you should know that by now.]

Do anything mean to her? I'm not you. Don't make the mistake of thinking I'm going to act like you.

What do you mean 'not me'?

[Hey Gai. Remember the time you wanted to be like Shu?]

You aren't me. I'm Shu.

[Obvious.]

You're Gai.

[It's not okay to be this dense, Shu.]

[... Shu are you really this... wait, yes you are.]

Yes, and that's exactly why I'm concerned.

What are you talking about?

Why are you concerned?

You never explain anything, Gai.

I'll explain later.

I'll be expecting a report on everything that's happened before my arrival. Don't keep me waiting too long.

Why would I suddenly do that?

[There's some hostility there, but since it's Shu it isn't very threatening.]

I won't listen to everything you say.

[Don't make him tell Inori on you, Shu.]

We'll see about that.

[And hanging up on you because he's a jerk like that. He knows quite well that Shu will write up that report anyway.]

[No. Not Inori. NOOOO!]

Stupid, Gai. He doesn't understand my feelings at all.

[You know he totally did despite all the whining.]
