I just want to talk to somebody, that's all. It doesn't have to be about anything in particular.

[beneathmoonlight]

Of course, Shuji-kun. I’m here for you.

How has work been?

[thesettingsun]

Not much to talk about, work-wise. My bosses are the same as always.

[He thinks of mentioning that Oda hasn't been coming in to work and decides against it. That way lies putting Atsushi in the middle of their argument and he's better than that.]

Any good memories lately?

[beneathmoonlight]

I haven’t remembered anything new, no.

It’s frustrating. I want to know more about who I was.

[thesettingsun]

I don't know if that's better or worse than getting a lot of bad memories.

At least the ones I've gotten lately aren't terrible. I had one that was just me complaining about Akutagawa-sensei's "Rashomon" being checked out of the library.

[beneathmoonlight]

Akutagawa-sensei?

Who’s that?

[thesettingsun]

An author that past me was obsessed with. I can't decide if it's more creepy or pathetic.

[beneathmoonlight]

I don’t think it’s either of those things.

You must’ve admired him a lot.

What is Rashomon?

[thesettingsun]

A novel Akutagawa wrote, I guess? Or at least a book.

[beneathmoonlight]

[Akutagawa...

Rashomon...

....]

I

I know that name

[thesettingsun]

[Somehow, Shuji's not too surprised that there's another shared name between his past life and the world of Chuuya/Odasaku/John/Heigo/Atsushi.]

Do you know anything about him?

[beneathmoonlight]

He’s the one who

Cut off my leg

[thesettingsun]

Oh.

Mine just seemed kind of oblivious, you want to trade?

[beneathmoonlight]

I wish.

Anyway.

It doesn’t matter.

I didn’t mean to make you more upset. I just couldn’t stop the memory.

[thesettingsun]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring back that memory. It's hard to know what's safe to do or say that won't trigger a memory, but I'm still the one who should apologize here.

[beneathmoonlight]

It’s okay.

I’m sorry you’ve been having a rough time too.

[thesettingsun]

It's alright, because both of us are going to pull through this. Okay?

[beneathmoonlight]

You’re right. We will.

Thank you, Shuji-kun.

[thesettingsun]

Any time. You can always text me if you need to vent.

[Please, god, please just tell him what's going on.]
