[ it's taken alma.. a long time to recover. and not only recover, but to find some kind of peace with himself, with who and what he is. he still-- isn't really sure he knows, even after months, but he's-- he's doing better, anyway. he knows he is. he's not so terribly confused by it all, now, and he thinks he might remember what it was like

He was definitely missing something.]

Yuu. [ despite his rather confusing thoughts, seeing the other exorcist leaves him feeling-- warm. terrified. safe. it's.. strange. ] I-- I've missed you.

How...

Oh. [ he slowly stretches his legs out, clawed toes peeking out from beneath the silk pants, curling against the grass. ] .. I came here after I died. The-- the second time, I mean. I wasn't.. exactly dead the first time you killed me.

[Just a little difficult to form completely coherent thoughts. He went through it before, with his now-girlfriend, and now again, with this Alma.]
They can't stop fucking up, can they? [The Order. It really isn't helping his opinion of the church, either.]

It doesn't really matter anymore, does it? It's over, now. Back home, I'm dead, and here-- [ a slightly wistful smile, eyes slipping fully shut. ] --they leave me alone.
[ he glances back at kanda again, the wistful expression remaining. ]
How-- How've you been? You're not a Yuu I've met here.

As well as one can be, here.

You certainly didn't get any chattier with age. C'mere, ya' big jerk.
[ scooting to the side on the bench. ]
How about more than a short sentence?

[Walking over to take a seat.]

[ careful to keep a bro-distance between them. he knows how weird it can be, what alma is-- especially for versions of kanda who weren't at that point in the timeline, anyway. ]

They kept me locked up-- not dead, but.. not fully aware, either. I could see and hear and feel most of the time, but I couldn't-- move. I couldn't even speak. [ he wants to run away from the memory, but what's the point? it's over. it's done. and that-- won't happen to him again. ] They-- They wanted to find out what went wrong with me. And.. they used me to create the Third Exorcists.
[ he laughed at that, choking and a bit hysterical, perhaps. ]
I wonder if that makes me a mother. D'you think so, Yuu?

They don't learn at all. Nothing went wrong, we just remembered.

[ he ducks his head, wiping hastily at his eyes. ]
I'm-- glad, now, though. I'm glad that you got to leave that place. I'm glad that you have friends that really seem to care about you.

None of this helps my opinion on the organization I already hated. At least you get a second chance here, Alma.

[ he goes quiet, then, staring down at his feet, toes curling again. ] Away from the Church. But-- I'd even go back to the Church if I had to. If it meant.. I could see you.
