[A somewhat familiar face appears on the screen. But it looks a touch...older. But there's no denying that that is Aya Fujimiya.]

This place...

[He pushes a hand through his hair.]

How long have I been gone from here? Is there anyone I know that is still here?

[Because for him it's been...years.]

[Buh.]

What happened to your hair?

[beyondweiss]

I cut it three years ago.

[insorrow]

What?

[Just blinking at you. Blink. Blinkblink.]

You've only been gone like a week.

[beyondweiss]

So that's how long it's been here.

[He sighs.]

It's been three years for me.

[insorrow]

Three... wait, what? How old are you?

[... probably old enough to think you're a complete kid, Ken.]

[beyondweiss]

Twenty-six.

[insorrow]

Wow.

[That's pretty old. Didn't think we'd get that old.]

Um... what's that like?

[And why can I not think of stuff to say to you that is not seriously awkward?]

[beyondweiss]

[He can't help it. That might be a small smile and a laugh.]

What's what like, Ken?

[insorrow]

Did something happen to you?

[beyondweiss]

What do you mean?

[insorrow]

You're, well... [Acting normal. Since when do you do that?]

You remember what you were like when you were twenty, right?

[beyondweiss]

The part where I was frigid and pushing everyone away? Or the part where I'd bite your head off if you looked at me?

I vaguely remember. [Snark. He has it.]

[insorrow]

Yeah. That. You... kinda don't laugh at stuff much.

[This is gonna take some getting used to.]

[beyondweiss]

I never laughed back then actually. It took...a long time to get to this point.

[insorrow]

Like six years, I guess. I--

[Six years ago I was thirteen. Damn.]
