...

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?

[loudmouths]

you got it, man.

yeah. they're not very distinct. which is why it's upsetting to feel that change in someone. before i got these weird powers, it was easier to ignore what it might have meant for them to suddenly forget a bunch of crap, since they act normally otherwise, but

now... it's...

[youraffection]

hard 2 forget
right?

[loudmouths]

right. i can't think of anything else when i talk to them. i've been avoiding renji the most because it hurts the most to think about what might happen to him

[ there's a delay, and then: ]

i

i don't think i could

if anything happened to you, yosuke

i can't lose you too

[youraffection]

[ No wonder it sucks even more...if Keigo feels like his closest friends are the ones that go, and then like he can't talk to them... ]

hey
no way
im in this 2 deep
its just not gonna happen
ok?

[ He knows he can't really promise that, but he's going to anyway. ]

im sorry keigo
that youve been feeling alone all this time
