Muse joins mun in musing on the ending... canon is "Another". Beware, spoilers in post and comments.

[deathfollowshim]

... so, it's over now, isn't it...?

[There's a sigh. Kouichi relaxes a little, a small frown on his face.]

I wish things didn't have to play out the way they did, though.

[Too bad, indeed. Then a quiet laugh.]

... you say you're gonna end up forgetting too, mun? Guess that makes three of us...

Don't look at me, I don't know what you're going to do now that it's over, either. I guess... move on? It's all we can do at this point in time, anyway...

[A pause. Then an almost quiet sigh of resignation as he closes his eyes, looking down. In between his thoughts, what he says almost seem like an afterthought.]

... goodbye, Reiko. And... I'm sorry, Akazawa...

dat episode

[iseedollpeople]

... I think Sakakibara-kun comes from the worst one. Is it better to forget?

No kidding. I was NOT expecting that to play out as it did. O.o;

[deathfollowshim]

... to be honest, I don't know the answer, Misaki.

Though even if I don't want to, we'll end up forgetting eventually... won't we?

LMAO ikr, me neither! the anime added a lot of twists

[iseedollpeople]

There are different rules here. If you and the player don't want to forget, then--

[She cuts herself off for a moment, shakes her head, starts again more quietly than before.]

Not all of it, at least.

It really did. And it even freaked me out with the sudden reappearance of a certain megane guy...

[deathfollowshim]

... yeah. It... would be hard to forget everything that happened, at least...

[He goes quiet again in thought, almost replaying everything in his mind.]

dsLKLDS lmao yeah that wigged me out, too |D he made an excellent crazyface, though

[iseedollpeople]

Not that. There are a few ways to play with time here. As long as it's before the end of the calamity, anything is possible.

[OOC: I was meaning to ask, d'you have AIM or plurk? C: We should hang out heheh.]

Seriously. It was like watching Higurashi all over again. XD;

[deathfollowshim]

... wait, really?

[Blink. That's a new one, even for him.]

( OOC: I do! nightbaron01 for AIM and moro_kun for Plurk. :3 )

HAHA man I haven't seen that yet, need to get on that

[iseedollpeople]

It's part of the game. You should learn the rules, Sakakibara-kun.

[Is she teasing? At the very least, she's messing with him a little.]

[OOC: Cool! I'm muffyre on Plurk. :DD /adds]

It's lovely. And everyone goes batshit in the same manner as the class did here, too. 8U

[deathfollowshim]

Huh... I was not aware of that. That sounds pretty interesting, actually...

[Kouichi pouts a little at the tease, but it's Misaki so he'll deal with it.]

( OOC: CONSIDER YOURSELF ADDED. AWWWW YEAH. B) )

8) Sounds like a blast.

[iseedollpeople]

Is there something you want to do?

[Serene as always, her eyes fixed on him.]

It really is. |3

[deathfollowshim]

Ah... I haven't thought about that yet, actually. Did you have something you wanted to do?

[He returns that gaze with some curious gazes of his own.]

[iseedollpeople]

Sometimes you have to think fast. Don't trust the player.

[She turns. Looks across the expanse of where they are now, delineated only by imagination. In that scheme of things, they are very small.]

... Nothing in particular. I don't have anything I can't do anywhere.

[deathfollowshim]

Thanks for the warning; I'll keep that in mind...

[He sighs, glancing around them. This place was certainly bigger than he'd thought. Much bigger...]

That is true, but... wow, this place is kind of big now that I think of it...

[iseedollpeople]

Good.

[Tilting her head and looking back at him.]

It is an endless space, because it is a game. New areas are created and destroyed at will. You can go anywhere you want, but it doesn't mean you'll escape the calamity. That's the way this game works.

[deathfollowshim]

So... we're just trading one setting for another, then...

[He trails off; he doesn't seem to like the implications.]

Is there really any way to get away from it, then...? Or are we just... I don't know, fated to repeat it, then?
