yosuke, i need to talk to you about something that's been bothering me. you free?

[youraffection]

dude ofc
u dont have 2 ask
whats going on?

[loudmouths]

...i just wanted to know uh

how many of your friends have suddenly stopped remembering retrospec? not just acquaintances or random people you might have talked to a few times, but actual friends? like, from the day we got the app to now?

[youraffection]

suddenly stopped?
um
hm
no 1 now that i really think about it
tbh most of my actual friends kind of became more that way bc of the app
and ppl that were my friends b4 i got closer 2
why?
did 1 of ur friends forget?

[loudmouths]

...

i see.

[ fuck. ]

so far, three of them have. just... one day, they didn't have it on their phones and then they just stopped remembering... ever using it.

[youraffection]

dude srsly?
i know ive heard that happened but
shit that sucks
who was it?

1/2

[loudmouths]

takumi, ryoji...renji.

it's been a while, though. i still talk to renji, obviously, and takumi and ryoji, too, but... it's not the same.

and...what'll happen to them now?

...and why does this happen to people i'm getting closer to? what does that mean? is it

just fucks keigo up ig

[loudmouths]

is it me? i know i'm unlucky, but what if it's something i'm doing? what if this happens to nikkari?

what if this happens to you?

they were sayin that shit about souls and whatnot, so if they don't have the app, that means something's gonna happen to them, doesn't it?

WOW

[youraffection]

[ He knew Ryoji, albeit not well. He was more impacted by how his friends dealt with Ryoji's loss more than anything, but...

This isn't what he expected at all. ]

dude
keigo
hold on a sec
1 thing at a time ok?
how long have u been feeling like this?

i can't help who i am

[loudmouths]

like what???

[ he's just being real here yoosk. ]

feelin like i'm a cause behind it? a few months now, at least. why?

can you tho

[youraffection]

what do u mean Y
i had no idea man
im sorry
but 1st of all none of this is ur fault
retrospec is full of shit and likes to mess with ppl all the time

would you like me to try

[loudmouths]

don't apologize to me over this. i was the one who didn't tell you. i just thought i was being irrational, but it's a pattern i'm noticing, so i'm just

worried i guess. if we all have the power to change stuff or whatever like they say, then surely someone has the power to mess shit up for others, right?

no b urself

[youraffection]

no way is this ur fault ok
but fine
lets pretend 4 a sec it was
(it isnt)
what do u think ur doing to make ppl forget??
honestly
ur not doing anything
its just retrospec being shitty as per usual and it sucks bc its affecting ur friends

ok u asked for it

[loudmouths]

...i don't know. maybe i'm cursed.

because... there's a difference. there's a difference in them other than losing the memories of the app or whatever. it goes deeper than that.

[youraffection]

whats the difference?

[loudmouths]

it's hard to explain but

it's like they're dimmer than they used to be

[youraffection]

dimmer?
u mean like
when u actually look at them?

[loudmouths]

yes and no

it's a weird sensation i get from them. it's... just... not as bright. less of a presence. like at any moment, they could fade away.

not like... LITERALLY fade, i guess. like i said, it's hard to explain, but it's a definite difference

i haven't told anyone about this, either, because i don't want people to feel what i'm feeling

[youraffection]

dude
but u gotta
what ur feeling is important 2 ppl
its important 2 me!
i dont want u going thru stuff alone

[loudmouths]

i know, you've said that before. it's just difficult to put into action, especially since

well, y'know, i'm the one that's supposed to be helpin you through your problems. i'm the older one, after all!!

[youraffection]

thats not how it works and u know it
if i was older ud b telling me the same thing!
bc what ur feeling and seeing sounds freaky man
super freaky

[loudmouths]

you don't know that

i'm a selfish shithead, after all

but uh. yeah. it is. it's vaguely unpleasant being able to feel that change in a person in real time.

i really wouldn't recommend it

[youraffection]

thats not what i said keigo
im srs
i totally know that bc thats the same bs i would b pulling
but if we dont have each other what else do we have around here?
retrospec users arent the majority u know?
weve gotta trust each other
u and me at least
is it just them u feel that with?

[loudmouths]

hah. i guess you got me there. i'll try to be better about it. sorry, yosuke.

but uh. yeah. with everyone else, it's sorta like... hard to differentiate. they all kinda meld together.

[youraffection]

i forgive u
just talk 2 me more ok?

ok so
basically anyone that isnt on retrospec is like that?
