[Sunburned and sitting with his knees hugged to his chest. He looks like he made it back from the store , but he's not doing so well. He sounds very shaken up for someone that is usually stoic at best.]

Why.....why can't I remember what happened? It was my own damn death! Why can't I remember?!

Joshua couldn't have killed me. He wouldn't have

[levelly] ...Neku.

Are y

...No one here remembers how they died. It's not just you.

[apathetic_tune]

[Raises his head and looks slightly annoyed at his crow for recording this.]

But....I did remember. I did....in Udagawa...it was...I got.....

[looks as though he either can't remember the rest or is having a painful headache - probably both.]

[i_see_death]

[Joshua shakes his head, his voice quiet.] Even if you did, Neku, the Reaper's taken that memory away from everyone here. It's not your fault it's gone.

[apathetic_tune]

[stubbornly wiping his face with the back of his hand as if it merely itched and he hadn't shed any tears. He's trying to rebuild his mental wall.]

There's something I got to ask you.

[i_see_death]

[soft, rueful laugh, though Joshua's tone remains subdued.] Not surprised. This about what the Reaper said?

[apathetic_tune]

[purposely disregarding the question]
Did I ever meet you...when I was alive?

[i_see_death]

[long pause]

...Why do you ask?

[apathetic_tune]

[guarded]
It's important.

[i_see_death]

[quietly] Because the Reaper told you I murdered you.

[apathetic_tune]

[levelly] No. Because your face is one of the only things I can remember from that time.

[i_see_death]

That time?

[apathetic_tune]

I was looking at CAT's mural. Then I don't remember what happened. Somehow I ended up on the ground. But I think I saw our face. You smiled.

[i_see_death]

Oh.

...That time.

[apathetic_tune]

So he does know. Why won't he say anything?

[apathetic_tune]

Yeah. That time.

...How much did Mr. H tell you about me, Neku?
