I don't know? I'm used to seeing my own memories, not someone else's. Mostly. [Hm.] Also seriously, Beck, you still slept with him after that? And right in front of your window?
[He doesn't get to say much more about it though because he looks at her and soon she finds herself seeing something else until 3:23.]
Okay, you don't get to judge me after just seeing one...
[She doesn't get to finish that, though, because memory time! She shakes her head as if to clear it once all that's over, and then looks towards Junpei.]
I am not blushing! [He says as he proceeds to blush even further. The barrier shimmers around them and breaks, but he doesn't move.] Isn't it the thought that counts?
[...he's embarrassed but there's a soft smile anyway.]
...in spite of everything? I did. [The timelines they aren't together, the things Akane did, the things he can't forgive her for...she's the one he's crazy about even now. There's an equally quiet laugh and a mumble under his breath, hand running through his hair.]
I never got to move the ring back before I got here. So...that's one of the first things for me.
[He stumbles back just once when she shoves, but there's a sheepish smile.]
Thanks. It was...I went there to find her, but Carlos is the one who told me to tell her and stop wasting time. So I kind of owe it to him in the first place.
I don't think it's that awful. I mean, if it's someone you didn't know - it's kind of like something you'd see on the news, right? Like, it sucks that something painful happened to someone, but... It's different than if that same thing happened to a friend.
Yeah, I know. [Just not soon enough. He's folding his arms over his chest again and taking a step away from where the barrier was.] So until then I'm doing what I have to in order to survive.
[...something occurs to him then.] Do you know anything about where those marks came from on you, Escha and Kagachi by the way? I meant to ask.
[Also he's gonna go back to Beck's memory in a second.]
Someone with another set of rules then, like you. I'm not asking, I'm saying it. [Is he right? That's the only thing that adds up, but what the fuck? Or...] Or it's something else you can do. If it wasn't your choice this last week.
