You never really forget what a computer is, no matter how long has passed, that is a leftover imprinted in our minds. But typing anything remotely literate with the keyboard is another thing completely, I was hours StickyKeys assistance, was that how it was called back in Hourai?Likewise, I can't forget the City, although it became a dream

Youko-san? Did it send you back? ... or is it a curse?

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

[Has noticed the ease with which Youko handles her sword, and is maybe a teeny tiny bit envious, but doesn't let it show.]

It's no problem. Your... younger self is still my roommate, after all.

[Cocks her head in the direction she came from.]

Shall we go?

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

[She nods and motions her forward.]

Lead me.

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

[Smiles.]

I will.

[Aaand leads the way.]

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

Rin-san.

[She pauses while they are on their way home.]

Can I ask you something?

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

[Stops and turns to Youko.]

Yes?

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

If the younger me doesn't remember what transpired today, tell "me" I became an infant in your care.

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

[Is a little surprised by this and wants to ask, but decides not to. Nods instead.]

Mmmh.

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

You will soon realize why I didn't tell you because I can't let myself know so far.

[She smiles nostalgically]

I still hold illusions to return to Japan, don't I?

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

The whole time paradox issue?

[Thiiinks. Did they talk about this?]

I'm not sure.

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

[Probably, Youko thinks she HAS to return, but feels torn because of Rakushun. She nods and glances at her broken scabbard]

I will carry a heavy burden and I don't want myself to know what is about yet.

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

[Rin follows Youko's gaze and thinks she understands at least vaguely - even if she knows so little about her life yet. But she knows what it's like to carry a burden, though she suspects that Youko is talking about something greater than her own worries.]

Then I won't tell her... you.

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

[She offers Rin a smile in gratitude.]

I know I can trust you.

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

[Smiles back.]

I'll take care not to disappoint.

[Action]

[reginagloriae]

Don't see it as an obligation, an expectation you must meet.

[She muses.]

We are bound to disappoint each others in life. We learn and we fix those mistakes when that happens.

[Action]

[revengeisalie]

Maybe, but I don't have to do that as good as on purpose, right?

Besides, as of right now, I have no reason to go against your wish.
