So you know the whole crew, huh?

[ That shouldn't be that surprising. They'd probably be better at describing it than he would. It's a little weird to be talking about the TV World so freely, but he guesses it's one of the least strange things that's happened to him today.

He pauses for a moment before taking a seat to her right. Digging his toes in the cooler sand? Much nicer. ]

Don't worry about it. It doesn't seem too bad. Besides, I've already got people looking out for me, you know?

I've met a few of your friends. Heard about others. You'll...eventually get to meet at least one of mine, probably. Usagi Tsukino. Sadly you missed Ami-chan and and Minako. A shame, really.

[Mostly because she feels they'd have taken a shine to him. Minako especially, even if she was preoccupied by Rei, always made time to tease decent looking men.]

And I suppose that's true. But, things are a little different here. More dangerous, and things happen at unexpected times. Like with the castle. But, we all try and look after the people here. Especially those of us who are a little less than ordinary.

Huh? What'd you mean missed?

[ Are they...not in the level? Or what? Re-learning all these Cerealia mechanics is gonna be fun for him. ]

I've got a feeling that "ordinary" has a pretty generous application around here, huh?

To put it simply, they left like you did. And they haven't returned.

[He gets a laugh at the statement about normalcy though.]

You're right about that, yes. Nothing's what you'd expect, usually.

Oh...Oh. I'm sorry.

[ She must actually miss them, then. He wants to ask what that exactly means. The last thing he remembers before this place was being back in Inaba, but apparently he'd already been here. Does that mean that people forget and go home? ]

Kinda makes it difficult to be prepared for anything, in that case.

[She misses her girlfriend, yes. And her best friend? Oh, yes.]

It does. But, you adjust. [She breathes in then out and bows her head.]

I'm sorry, by the way. For surprising you in the desert. I don't want to put expectations on you because of a different version of you. But I am very glad to see you, Yosuke-kun, and I hope we can rebuild our friendship.

Huh?

[ Oh. How does she kind of hit the nail on the head? Because that's exactly what his fears have been since he realized he'd been there before. Hell, even with people like Yu and Rise who knew him before this place. How had he changed? What had he done? Would he somehow disappoint them this time around? ]

Oh, that? Well...yeah, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot to swallow, but...you're nice, so I wanna be someone that you'd like to be friends with again. Obviously I've got good taste!

[ But seriously... ]

I know I don't remember anything, but I'd definitely like to get to know you again, Hino-san.
