Lucky you.

[ must be nice to know what to expect. he's a little jealous... as if it would really make a difference for him, anyway. ]

At least you all made it back in one piece. Probably would've been easier on you guys to return with the ship, though.

[psynchroneyes]

[ uhhhh... ]

We.. didn't?

[teenrebellion]

...On the ship. Which you weren't.

[psynchroneyes]

[ .... ???? ]

Uh, sorry. I don't... actually remember how we got back.

[teenrebellion]

All of you fell out of a void onto the floor. But you were really out of it, so it's not surprising you don't remember.

[psynchroneyes]

[ huh... ]

No... My memory just—goes blank.

[teenrebellion]

Ah. That's... not great. [ hm. ] Is that the only thing that goes blank, or...?

[psynchroneyes]

... I dunno. I remember everything else, but... only up to a point.

[teenrebellion]

Uh. Okay. And what point was that...?

[ should he be asking io about concussions or something too ]

[psynchroneyes]

Um... We had to reach some sort of core? I remember we got close, but after that, I... I don't know.

[teenrebellion]

...Well, don't hurt yourself trying. If it's anything like the hallucinations we were having, it might go away by Saturday.

[ assuming mizuki is still here by then. ]

You came back alive, so that's what matters.

[psynchroneyes]

[ yes... assuming :) ]

... Maybe. No, yeah—you're right. It's... over now.

[ Though, she does look down at Aiba sitting in the palm of her hand, still lifeless. ]

[teenrebellion]

...She'll be okay, too. They'll find a way to fix her up if the pods don't do the job.

[psynchroneyes]

[ ... ]

Yeah. I just have to keep telling myself that. She'll be okay, just like everyone else.

[teenrebellion]

She will be. [ he sounds pretty confident? ] And when she does, you'll definitely owe her another bug documentary or two.

[psynchroneyes]

[ That—gets her to puff out a small, surprised laugh. ]

Maybe you should join us.

[teenrebellion]

[ a laugh is good, he thinks. ]

That's not exactly my idea of a fun date, thanks.

[psynchroneyes]

Bold move to turn down an invite from a girl.

[teenrebellion]

I could think of about a hundred more things I'd rather do with a girl than that.

[psynchroneyes]

Wow. Even for Aiba?

[teenrebellion]

She's got you to keep her company for it. What's she need with me? I'm no good at sitting still when I'm bored, anyway, so you'd probably both get annoyed with having me there.

[psynchroneyes]

All that worry and you go off and say that... Well, suit yourself!

[teenrebellion]

I can be worried and still not be interested in bugs. What, do you want me to join you?

[ sounds fake? ]

[psynchroneyes]

Eh. I could take it or leave it.

[teenrebellion]

Then have fun alone with your bugs.
