...Gods that threaten to destroy the world??

[artisticliberty]

Our world, technically. Tatsuya, Akira, Akechi, and I are all from the same world--though Tatsuya is from an alternate timeline, of sorts. He cannot return to see his friends and family, for if he did, it would herald the end of the world. But I, for one, cannot abide by forcing him to live in solitude... so Akira and I have decided to do something about it.

[truthstranger]

A...Ah... I see...

[he does not see]

[artisticliberty]

[someone will bring shuichi up to speed on the situation, but it will probably not be yusuke]

But we don't know what we will need to do for that to happen yet, especially without our access to the Metaverse. So... my plan is to visit him, for now.

[truthstranger]

...I'm sure he'll appreciate even that much.

[artisticliberty]

I know I do, at least. To think of seeing neither of them again after this... is too much to bear.

[truthstranger]

Mm.

[artisticliberty]

Perhaps that is why I have been drawing them so much lately. Somehow, I want to preserve the memories I'll have of them as much as I can.

[truthstranger]

That's a good way to do it, I think. With your art, I bet you can capture a lot of your feelings and their spirit.

[artisticliberty]

[that gets him to smile a little]

I would not be satisfied with anything less. I shall use every ounce of artistic spirit in me to capture the essence of our love.

[truthstranger]

[he smiles a bit in return]

Good.

[artisticliberty]

Apologies. I did not mean to focus only on myself just now.

[truthstranger]

Ah... no, that's fine. It sounds like you have a lot to think about.

[artisticliberty]

If I let myself become too mired in my own thoughts, it will only overwhelm me again. I must focus on the task at hand, instead.

[truthstranger]

Yeah. Ah... I see you have a date with Shinguji-kun.

[artisticliberty]

Yes. He seems interesting. I understand you knew him before?

[truthstranger]

...Yes. He was... in my killing game. Mm, this version of him, too, not like Momota-kun or Ouma-kun.

[artisticliberty]

[!]

So then, he too... was forced into such abominable circumstances.

[truthstranger]

...Yeah.

[artisticliberty]

Did he survive?

[truthstranger]

...No. He was executed.

[artisticliberty]

[ugh]

How terrible...

[truthstranger]

...Mm.

[he looks like he's debating something internally for a moment, but eventually he just says]

He's... dealing with a lot, and could probably use some friends.

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke nods]

I can understand that much. I can only imagine what scars those experiences would leave on someone, physical or otherwise.

[he remembers how much it fucked up akira, at least]

[truthstranger]

It’s... not only that. I told him how the game ended, and... well, he’s having to re-evaluate... some of the things most important to him. I’m not really sure how he’s doing, and I may not be the right person for him to talk to.
