Where: Everywhere
What: School is in

[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

I won't get hurt in the first place.

Yeah, you do that.

[ he doesn't say anything along the lines of "I'll guard your back" even though he feels like he should. Partly because he just doesn't want to give Rohan the satisfaction of hearing that, partly because he's fairly sure they both know anyway, that they've got each other's back ]

[ he doesn't say anything of the sort either, just giving him another look over. ]

... I'm serious, though. You're younger than you used to be.

You being twenty-seven doesn't sound quite right either. Didn't think you were that much older than me.

What do you remember last? Before your dream.

If we're talking eventful shit, not much after that asshole Kira got taken care of.

... When I was twenty.

You're seriously seven years older?!

[ but more shockingly we still keep in touch seven years later ??? ]

[ maybe Koichi makes us ]

That's what I've been saying!

[ well okay we are sort of friends in a special way ]

All right, that's freaky, I'll give you that.

Were you just ignoring me before?

Give me a break, I thought you were messing with me!

Didn't I look any older?!

[ no rohan, new araki art means you look younger instead ]

You look the fucking same to me.

You're clearly blind.

Or maybe I didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about the wrinkles on your face.

I don't have any.

And you still wear the same ridiculous shit, your hair is the same, your face is the same. How the hell was I supposed to tell?

I'd be able to tell the differences, I bet.

Yeah, yeah, whatever... so what's the last thing you remember?

A trip to the Louvre.

[ that doesn't tell me anything but okay ]

Well, other people are from weird worlds, some have been gotten their memories taken away -- their abilities too. We might have just have been taken from ... different timelines, or whatever?

You sound so casual about it.

We've seen fucking ghosts not that long ago, there's not a hell of a whole lot that's gonna surprise me at this point.

I mean, I've got no clue how this is working, but it ain't like we're gonna figure it out anyway.

I'm not terribly surprised. There's been stranger things I've seen.

You don't want to know who's behind this?
