in the process of applying to a game.

Out of all of the points you could take me from, you had to pick that one.

Did you think about this at all?

Neither of us have time to deal with this.

It's bad enough losing him.

[serenadethestars]

Which point is it?

[mathemagician]

[if there were any chance of him being happy, he's at least happy to see you.]

Discovering who Sakuta is, coupled with what happened to Kisaragi. He felt it was best to take me from a turning point in the series. Apparently he prefers my earlier self to my later self.

[serenadethestars]

[I like all your selves, Kengo-kun]

What happened to Gen-cha...

Eh? Eh? But Kengo-kun, that's....

[mathemagician]

He's the one making decisions. I'm clearly not thrilled about it. He keeps telling me my chances are pretty good of meeting Kisaragi again at some point, but I'm not convinced.

[he's already had his raging outburst over this and is surprising mellow at this point, mostly because he's given up yelling about it.]

[serenadethestars]

Um, um, but we did meet Gen-chan again! It should be okay!!

And, and! You can do that thing again!

[mathemagician]

We did, but now he's trying to send me to some asteroid in the middle of a system pretty far from our own. The only person he knows that might follow me there is Sakuta. [he's keeping his hope up, though! honestly. he really doesn't want to lose that idiot.

oh btw he is very much not happy with ryusei, clearly.]

... what thing?

[serenadethestars]

Bring him back! [because that is how it works, yes]

About Ryusei-kun... Try not to be too angry with him, okay?

[mathemagician]

[you know that thing where he ignores everyone who tries to be reasonable with him? he's doing it again.]

I'm not forgiving Sakuta for what he did. If there's any way to bring Kisaragi back, I'll find it and I'll do it, but I'm going to be out of options if I'm not even on Earth. The odds are really against us and everything we stand for if we're separated like this.

[he'll forgive ryusei once gen does. ... whenever gen does. eventually.]

[gothics]

...Kengo-san?

[mathemagician]

Nozama. [yeah, this is as chipper and polite as he gets right now]

[gothics]

[ sob so inhuman :| ]

You're... talking about that time, aren't you. When Ryusei-san and Aries... and Gentarou-san... [ yeah she can't say it :\ ]

[mathemagician]

[well technically i'm not human, so there]

Yeah. Leaving everyone behind and trying to save him. That point.

[gothics]

[ but didn't chairman aquarius'd your alienness away ]

...how mean...!

[mathemagician]

[well at some point, but the mun really likes me being weird and different and ~special~]

I guess it makes sense to him to take me from a point where I'm cut off from everyone else, since I'll be go alone. [ignoring that sakuta may follow, yep.]

[gothics]

[ oh hello that is something I can relate with ]

But... Kengo-san, you're not completely cut off from everyone even if you'll be taken during that time.

[mathemagician]

It seems like their positive attitude has started to rub off on you.

[really, he's making such a big deal just because he wants gen to be there -- and alive -- but he would rather die than admit that]

[eyeonthetarget]

Well like, if you know he doesn't stay dead what's it matter? Why not have a little fun now!

[mathemagician]

[oh that hit a nerve]

Fun? This isn't a joke!

[uchuukitaa]

Kengo?

That point?

[mathemagician]

[oh goddammit, he's actually really happy to see you for once]

Kisaragi...

[uchuukitaa]

[he's just looking at you]

[and smiling]

[because that wasn't a good time, but you got him through it, you and all the others, you saved him]

[and he trusts you so much]

[mathemagician]

[your annoying personality makes it really difficult to hate you sometimes. i'm sure you know that.]

Don't give me that look. Idiot.

[he's tacking that on the end to get some of that tsundere attitude back, but he's already resisting the urge to smile because he's so relieved to see you.]

[uchuukitaa]

[he knows you looooove him]

Aw, c'mon, Kengo! You know everything will be all right. Have faith!

[mathemagician]

[shhhhh shut uuuup]

Just because the me that exists here knows that everything will be alright doesn't mean that myself in the game will know any better. He's going to think he lost you and any chance of bringing you back.

[uchuukitaa]

[yeah that's not too likely]

[CRINGE]

...ah.

Kengo...

[he's really, really tempted to hug you right now, let you feel his heart beating, to try to give you some physical reassurance even though you won't remember it]
