[She really, really doesn't wanna spook the cat. But she slowly breaks the distance, just so she can take a seat on the inn steps as they keep talking.]
Hikaru's hands wring together, looking at the cat, then back at him.]
Maybe, um... maybe talk to your team leader about it, Shigeo-kun? Wolf-san and Fox-san said we might start losing our memories the longer we spent here, so...
I hope that's not what's happening. We've barely been here more than a few days.
We'll figure out how to get it back. I don't know how right now, but... we'll help fix this place, and when we do, we're gonna find a way to get our memories back. I promise.
I'm not gonna let us leave this place not remembering all the people we're doing this for.
Ah! That's cute, though, for a white kitty! [hikaru approved, a+]
I'll do my best to remember Yuki's name and where you found her, okay? You look really happy with her, and she looks like she trusts you a lot... so if you ever forget, I'll make sure to tell you again right away.
Umi-chan is kind of dramatic and loud, and she gets a little naggy at Fuu-chan and I when she's worried about us... but she stands up for the people she cares about and is really good at being encouraging. She's really good at making me laugh! And she makes good cakes!
Fuu-chan is a lot quieter and super polite - I think she'd rather talk about stuff than have to fight anybody, unless she really has to. But she's so kind and has a lot of compassion to help, and she's really, really smart. I think she could be some sort of doctor or scientist or something someday.
[She curls a hand against her chest, her smile softening.]
Both of them are really, really important to me. I don't know where I'd be without their help.

Do you think that kitty was part of the spirit at all, or... was she just trapped there?
no subject
[He says this like it's just occurred to him, and it's a pretty distressing thought.]
But she seems like just an ordinary cat.
no subject
I dunno a lot about spirits, but... if you got rid of the evil spirit and the kitty cat is still here, then maybe she's okay?
Just because something is created from something bad doesn't mean they're also bad, you know?
no subject
[But he reaches and pets the cat. She's a cat, after all. He can't really believe she's evil.]
no subject
[She really, really doesn't wanna spook the cat. But she slowly breaks the distance, just so she can take a seat on the inn steps as they keep talking.]
You mean, with what happened with the spirit?
no subject
I forgot about it. I remember that I got out somehow, but. . .
no subject
Has it always been like that? Do you remember if you got hurt or anything?
no subject
[But he looks away, breaking eye contact - he's not sure he's ready to talk about this part.]
I forgot the rest only recently.
no subject
Um... how recently, Shigeo-kun?
[Didn't Wolf say something like this would happen? But isn't this too soon????]

[Nodding.]
no subject
Are you gonna be okay, Shigeo-kun? Is that all you can't remember? Just that one part?
no subject
Only that part. I wish. . . I really wish I remembered the next part.
no subject
We'll figure out how to get it back. I don't know how right now, but... we'll help fix this place, and when we do, we're gonna find a way to get our memories back. I promise.

That includes you and your kitty cat.
no subject
[He smiles at that. He believes that, too, but it's nice that she's so confident.]
We'll just have to work our hardest and get all of the nova, right?
no subject
Right!
Hey, does the kitty have a name, Shigeo-kun?
no subject
[That's what Izumo wanted to name her, at least.]
no subject
I'll do my best to remember Yuki's name and where you found her, okay? You look really happy with her, and she looks like she trusts you a lot... so if you ever forget, I'll make sure to tell you again right away.
Is that okay?
no subject
[. . .]
If there's anything you need to be reminded of, I'll do my best, too.
no subject
There's a lot I don't wanna forget, but...
If I ever forget the names for Umi-chan, or Fuu-chan... could you remind me that they're my best friends?
no subject
[He nods.]
What are they like?
no subject
Umi-chan is kind of dramatic and loud, and she gets a little naggy at Fuu-chan and I when she's worried about us... but she stands up for the people she cares about and is really good at being encouraging. She's really good at making me laugh! And she makes good cakes!

no subject
[It does sound really nice to have good friends like that, doesn't it? Though he has people who are important to him, too.]
I'll remember.
no subject
Thanks, Shigeo-kun.
They're both awesome. If you ever come to Tokyo, I'll introduce you, okay? I think you'd like them a lot!
