@lostsong; don't mind me ......

[resound]

I’m surprised you noticed any absences.
Surely such a popular person didn’t lack for visitors?

[ because he can’t just out and say ‘sorry for your loss,’ that’d be ridiculous. ]

[finethanks]

I did have visitors.

[Like a certain tsundere, for example,]

But I'm not so cruel as to forget those who are close to me. We met when I arrived in the place I was stuck prior to this one, so after surviving a crossing of universes, him disappearing later on is a little surprising, is all.

[Yeah. That's all.]

[resound]

[ well, he wouldn’t know anything about that... ! ]

I guess
It doesn’t help to be reminded of how temporary things are.

[ ......... ]

At least the world wasn’t cruel enough to leave you alone.

[finethanks]

[He wonders about that, though it would be cruel to write any doubts where Tori could see it. Even if it's not the same...]

Mm.

Were you left alone, Shuu-san?

[resound]

[ define “alone” ...... ]

I wasn’t fishing for your sympathy.
Keep it to yourself.

[finethanks]

It's no more sympathy than what you've shown me.

Rather, I was only curious. Did someone leave?

[resound]

Nobody important.
Just someone who might’ve been interesting
I think she knew you, too.

[finethanks]

A girl who was interesting to you while also being familiar with me... Could you mean Takane-chan?

[resound]

Whatever.
It doesn’t really matter now, does it?

[finethanks]

I suppose not.

I was able to see your performance, you know.

[resound]

[ ... ]

It wasn’t broadcast.

[finethanks]

That's why it was important that I sneak out to see it, you know? The hospital staff was a little irritated, though.

[resound]

Why do you sound so proud of that...
I thought I told you
I’m not interested in winning by default, Eichi

[finethanks]

Am I someone you can call by first name now? That makes me feel a little warm. ♪ Perhaps I'll do the same in return.

If you can't understand my actions, then let me explain. In order to survive dark places like that, I need a shining light. The person who told me he'd never leave my side, the one who had shown me real magic and showed me miracles, had vanished. Like a child, I was upset by something so obvious... something that was never true.

In order to wipe it from my mind, I focused again on music. I knew that I wanted to hear your sounds for myself, without a recording, without you prepared for my audience. As I thought, it was brilliant. I've held onto every step and every note, even now.

[resound]

[ there’s so much sappy shit here. right in the group chat. at 3am. hello? how dare you?? though some of it is interesting, and some of it is nice to hear— well, he can’t just say either of those things, let alone in public.

so— ]

As always
You run your mouth far too much.
Do you really want to go back there already?
We can make that bed your permanent home.

[ :tsun: ... ]

[finethanks]

[He loves this so much.]

Wahh, you're such a meanie, Shuu. Just for that, I'm going to run my mouth more and more. ♪ Or will you silence me? I wonder how? How exciting.

[resound]

[ HE HATES THIS SO MUCH. ]

Do you think you’re funny?
You won’t be laughing when I come break your door down
Tenshouin.

[finethanks]

[Oh my god. He does actually laugh, can Shuu hear it? CAN HE HEAR IT...]

You reverted to my family name so quickly! Fufu, if you want to visit, go ahead. I'm a little lonely, so that's why I'm speaking on here to begin with, after all.

[resound]

[ four ears to hear eichi through the wall with. truly, being a furry is a special kind of hell with people like this for neighbors. ]

At this hour
You should be going to sleep
Not asking for company.

[finethanks]

I've had too much sleep lately, so it feels impossible. Even when I lie down in my pajamas on the bed and close my eyes, these thoughts keep stirring around...

Perhaps after some company, I might be able to feel tired again. Once I've relaxed, you know?

[resound]

I think this chat is company enough for you.

[ but he’s not going to give eichi enough time to argue this one. ]
