*Up to this point, he'd been looking forward to the memories; all the little memories of Tomoe, their marriage, their meeting, and so on. It had been spurring him on, knowing someone was waiting for him. Someone who loved him, who was waiting for him to come home ( Read more... )

Yuri isn't one for getting involved in the emotional lives of others, but after all, he and Kotetsu are from the same world, and they know each other somewhat.]
Hello, Kaburagi. [A pause. He doesn't want to pry.] You seem troubled. [Being troubled is something he knows about.]

Ah, well... just wondering how well this whole superhero league thing's going to go. I mean, it's one thing to talk about it, but now we're actually getting somewhere with it.

It isn't like you to worry about such things. [He doesn't remember everything about this man, but even based on their dealings so far in Sirocco--Kotetsu rarely seems to worry, eager to charge ahead and not think about the consequences. He feels somewhat awkward about this, as they're not personally close, but something is decidedly off, so he'll ask.] What else is the matter?

Eh? What makes you think anything's the matter? Trust me, I'm fine. Once this whole thing gets started up, you'll think you were imagining the whole thing!

Has anything occurred to change your mind? You seemed to be of a different opinion before. Where caution and thinking things over is concerned, that is. [He'd seemed to be ready to run out and do things on his own.]
I find this place worrisome, myself... [He trails off, thoughtfully, before continuing.] I'm surprised at how relatively little people seem to worry about the possible consequences of our odd predicament. Perhaps it's that most would prefer to avoid discussing such an unpleasant topic.

Ah, well... I guess I don't really see the point of worrying HOW we got here at this point. Besides, the folks running the place have been so good about taking us in, so what's the problem?

If we knew how, that would be a step toward figuring out how we might return. [He stares at Kotetsu for a moment.] What is the problem? Children have been taken from their homes, and adults have been taken from their jobs and families. You don't find that problematic? Personally, I would like to help people return to their homes, if it's at all possible.
Not to mention the fact that remembering one's past at random, out of order, could easily cause psychological trauma, yet there have been no steps taken to deal with that problem.

I guess that's a good point. Well, that's gonna be part of the job too, I think, helping others get home. It'd be kind of a dick move not to help as much as we can with that sort of thing when we're heroes. Hell, maybe I'll stick around here, helping all the folks that get stuck.

[He pauses.]
You have responsibilities at home, things to return to. Some of them I myself remember. [However, he's become even less forthcoming than he was before about the things he remembers.] You don't belong here.
