Back home? Well... That's a tricky question. I miss it, of course, but I'm also not sure if it's ever possible for me to go back.
[ she might just be executed, if she did. even if she weren't, there's no way that her relationship with Iske can be salvaged. they never figured out if they were actually dead in the Netherworld, either... ]
I've made some very dear friends since then, too. I would hate to lose them. So, if it was a choice between here or there... I'm not entirely sure, but I might choose here?
[ not that she really wants this mundane fucking nightmare again. it would have been nice if they had just reincarnated from the Netherworld as completely new people. ]
[ Kaito looks at his phone for a few seconds, contemplating. In the end, he just sighs and reclines further in his chair. ]
You make me really curious, y'know that? Not that I can't imagine anyone would choose this realistic fabrication over their home worlds, but... Nevermind that. I'm not trying to pry this time.
I guess circumstances will always be different for different people. The one thing that makes it impossible for me to settle into this life is the look my mother gives me whenever we're alone at home. It's like she knows that I don't belong here. That I'm Kaito, but not her son. Every time we lock eyes, I remember that I have to go home and find her for real.
[ A solid minute passes between that hefty admission and his next message. ]
Maybe I'll learn how to cross between worlds. It can't be that hard, right? After all, someone dragged all of us from across the multiverse to live here and play video games. If I learn to do the same, then I don't have to choose. I can just keep in touch with everyone. Do you think that's stupid?
[ breezing past both his curiosity, as well as his remarks about his own fake family, since that would naturally lead to a situation where she's expected to share her own feelings— ]
Of course not! I think that's a very admirable desire.
[ huuu, and she's automatically slipping into the airheaded princess act, since she associates Kaito with the Netherworld. she's been the honour student and the idiot in two different lives, but it's hard to juggle both at once. this is exactly why she hates it when her relationships in the ON and OFF worlds cross over. ]
The rumour is that there's supposed to be some wish-granting power in this world, right? That seems like the perfect use of it.
