[It's a scary thought, if he had to be honest, to have a whole lifetime's worth of memories floating around in his head. He doesn't know if he wants that sort of experience. In the end, won't that make him a different person?
Shuuya gives a soft sigh.]
Yeah. Yeah, I think you got a point. [It'll turn out fine.] Let's make it a promise, all right?
[She repeats the words softly. Somehow, that's especially meaningful. Tsubomi takes his hand and hooks their pinkies together.
Right where invisible red strings join them.]
Okay, Shuuya. I promise to stay Tsubomi for you. We'll always be Shuuya and Tsubomi. I'll do my very best. I... I can't promise I won't get scared but whenever I'm scared, I'll call you, because... you'll be there for me. It goes for you, too, okay?
[Her pinkie fits against his snugly. Shuuya curls his around hers the best he can, nodding.]
And I promise I'll stay Shuuya for Tsubomi, no matter what we remember! Whenever one of us is in trouble, we'll come running for each other. [He lowers his voice.] I won't abandon you when you're having it rough.
Shuuya... [The words 'I love you' rise to her mind and she feels her heart beat faster. It's not that kind of love, is it...? She knows she has a crush, it'd be pointless to deny it, but love?
But as a friend, doesn't she love him?
She smiles and gives his pinky a squeeze.]
...Okay. It's a promise. I won't abandon you either, Shuuya. Not ever.
Hm... Should I tie something around you so I won't lose you? You know if you lose things a lot, you can tie a string to it. If you lose keys, you tie a string to the keys and your inside pocket. Then you won't lose them.
... I'll look dumb if you tie something on me. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it. No matter where you go, I'll-- [his voice falls to a mumble] --I'll be with you.
Then let's start this operation-- [ahh he was gonna say tomorrow but they can't because school] --next weekend! That'll give us plenty of time to prepare!
[It's much nicer than those strange warnings. She hesitates, shifting to pillow her head on her arm.]
...Oh, right... Shuuya, do you want to stay over for dinner tonight? I can make something you like. But it's okay if you'd rather go home early, too.
[They have a lot to think about but they've already decided how to deal with it. Surely they won't draw any strange attention. But it would still be nicer to stay together for a while longer.]

Let's not worry about it, then! It's not like we'll get real involved in it.

Like a theme park or the planetarium or a baseball game or something like that right?!
no subject
Yup, yup! Let's do a theme park, because that's the toughest one to sneak into~
no subject
Right. We can do this. If we come up with a plan, then it's going to be a success. I don't doubt it one bit.

It's fine, I'll call my mom. If I do stay, I'll help you out with dinner!
