I think it was more a generation past time. I was her first victim.

( He hadn't even been sleeping with anyone, though now he wonders if there had been something lingering in his gaze that she'd picked up on. )

I won't inflict the same trauma, but I will remind you that if you ever need I can make sure they never find his body. Brain chip be damned.

ah, that sounds unpleasant.
i appreciate being spared.

[ He sees enough Stuff as an EMT, thanks. ]

you really don't have to worry, there's no need for such a thing.
and i've got rika-chan looking out for me too.

[gorb]

( A teeny tiny ping in the recesses of his terrible brain. It's fine, it's not bullying. He's just trying to figure out the lay of the land. )

And how is the lovely Rika taking your divided attention?

[copy]

things haven't really changed that much from how we were before and she was already used to that, so it isn't anything that new to her.

[ She's already used to it, basically. Which might sound sus? But anyway, he's turning this bullying worrying right back around. ]

how are you and sensei doing?
i imagine it must be a little difficult. [ What with the memory loss and time discrepancy. ]

[gorb]

( Hey, don't turn Boy Talk around on him. )

He's different now.
Like that last door hasn't closed. It's not a hardship, but it feels complicated to navigate.

( He's used to more teeth ( though not in a literal sense, Satoru now has a habit of sinking his fangs into Geto's skin ), there's softness. He loves it, but sometimes it makes him feel -.

Panicky. )

I'm sure he knows there are things we're not telling him, but I'd like to protect him from those if we can. He can't do anything here. I don't want it to hurt him.

[copy]

[ Don't dish out Boy Talk if you can't take it. ]

i understand.

[ Because it's difficult for all of them to navigate when they know such terrible truths of what's to come for Gojo. ]

we both know these sort of things can't be hidden for long in this place and i do think he deserves to know.
but since he said himself he'd rather not, i do want to protect his peace as much as i can for however long it's possible too.
i just want him to be happy.

[gorb]

( Ah well, Geto is a hypocrite.

Both in Boy Talk and wanting to keep secrets. But then he never pretended not to be. )

He said something similar to me. I won't blame anyone who does tell him, but I'd hope it would only come if he requested it. I think he was struggling with the idea that he had been here before. It doesn't feel fair to add more to that.

[copy]

i agree.
i can't speak for the others, but i gave him a choice.
if he wants to know, i'll tell him, but otherwise i'm prepared to keep what happened back home to myself.
i just hope it doesn't make things too awkward and burdensome for you to have to do the same.

[ Because Yuta does sincerely just want the best for both of them. ]

[gorb]

None of them are my stories to tell.
The benefits of being a corpse.

[copy]

but you know of them.
that can weigh on you.
especially when they're about someone you cherish.

[gorb]

( He thinks of how badly he has to keep his hands from twitching when they touch unscarred skin -. )

All the more reason to bear it, I think.

[copy]

just please remember you don't need to do so alone.

[gorb]

I don't think being alone is something I have to worry about any more.

( He has a clingy boyfriend now. )

[copy]

not so long as you're here, no.

[ Because his myriad of kiddos will not allow for it either. ]

[gorb]

I'll count myself lucky then. And stop wasting your time. I'm glad you're happier now, Okkotsu-san.

[copy]

likewise, geto-san.
may our happiness last.
