dear_mun | Possibly sometime in the distant future

I'm sure your mun will do their best for you to come here too.

[Hey, he sort of...no he doesn't really recognize you, Iri. Sorry. ;;]

Mm. I can't leave her alone, after all. I wonder how she's doing...

[ It's alright ;; ]

It is really nice to know that. I'm sure she's making new friends for her to show you.

[Soon, he will though!]

Friends? [He smiles, his eyes beginning to show hope.] She must doing fine over there, then. Haaa- [Chuckle] Now I really can't wait. This place she's in...is it any good? To her, and anyone else?

I'm still not there myself, but I know some of people that are in that place. That world seems to be really nice.

[ She smiles at him sweetly. ]

It also gives you a 'Pokemon' partner too.

Pokemon? [Brow raise.] What are those?

They are some creatures from that world, like a familiar. Some of them are really cute and they can evolve too! [ god she sound a bit excited at this like a little kid. ] They are really friendly too.

[Cute creatures? He never really was one for keeping up with new trends. But, it'd be a lie to say his interest wasn't piqued for sure.]

Ohhh. Somewhat like pets, then. How interesting.

[ this is going to be a beautiful friendship. ]

I never have seen them before, it makes it more exciting! [ She chuckles a bit. ]

Huh? You're going to go visit... [ At least she stops at the name. ]

Ah, Rin- !

[Even if it's a bit strained, he'll give her a gentle smile.]

...yeah, I am. What about you?

I am not permitted to. Besides, you're going so it's alright. I can wait here until you're done and then we can go on adventures... Or well at least you can watch me study. That stupid man is my guardian now, you know.

[He deflates a bit.]

Ah, I see. [Pause] ...wait, that priest?

Mm, that's right. Stupid Kirei was assigned to be my caretaker.

I see.

[Feeling really guilty now. Damn, if he didn't do something to Aoi, this would never have happened.]

...please, be careful, all right? Especially when around him.

Don't worry so much about me. I can take care of myself, you know. I don't even need that stupid priest around, but I'm not allowed to drive at my age.

Besides, I'm somewhere safe away from him. He can't touch me where I'm at.

[Hokay, calm down. Gotta save all the Feelings for the actual reunion.]

... I'll wait however long it takes, Uncle Kariya.

Sakura...!

[W-weh, he wants to hold her tight and ask all sorts of questions, but IT MUST WAIT.]

...you've grown into a lovely girl, I see.

[HOLDING ALL THESE FEELS IS SO HARD.]

... I wish you could have been there while I was growing up. [Even if he didn't win. Even if he couldn't take her away. Things would have been better, at least.

BUT NO ANGST TIME WILL BE LATER] When your mun finally sends you there, I want to introduce you to someone who helped me be the person I am now.

[HOW CAN WE EVEN HOLD ALL OF THEM, IT'S TOO MUCH!!]

Hmm... [Nope nope nope, shoving away the angst for a better time.] Really now? I hope he's nice.

[Because if he isn't... (raegface)]

He is! I'm sure you'd like him. [They both have a solid "save the girl" attitude, so that's good, right?]

Why don't I get any satellite characters who are obsessed with me?

...actually, know what, I'm happy without them.

[A-aww, Shinji. It's okay, Uncle Kariya loves you too.]

Heh heh, it's all right, Shinji. I'm not leaving you out too.

It's not like I'm actually there. And I'm definitely not coming there just for you.

[Tsun.]

[ffff no Shinji, let Kariya hug you. Or at least have a comforting pat on the head. ;o;]

Ahhh, that's kind of sad. It would've been great if you were going. You, me, Sakura...we would've had a lot of fun together.

...I guess I can think about it.

Would the playwright allow you your happy ending? Or is that yet one of the lingering questions to which the answer only lies inside a bleak fantasy?

Hmhm. You haven't had any luck with the roles you've been cast so far.

Whether my end is good or bad doesn't matter. So as long as Sakura's happy, then I don't care.

Perhaps a self-sacrificing personality like yours was necessary for this particular role. Actually, it's quite fitting: you and the other seven were just sacrifices to be used and swept off the stage once you played out the next tragedy's prologue.

Next tragedy...?

[Come to think of it, didn't Sakura say she wished he was there to see her grow up? She was probably there during that time and- crap, he doesn't want to think about it right now.]

Tch, whatever. Who are you, anyway?

Ooh!! So, there is a possibility of yet another from our world to join us as well?!

[...boy, does he ever remember you. Or well, the voice, at least.]

...yeah.

I take it you're coming along also.

The opportunity to command a small army of fighting animals to become the greatest of them all? How could I refuse?!
