[nantokanare]

There's something wrong with my eye.

[Five minutes later:]

[threedaystime]

Um. Did you forget you said it or something?

[nantokanare]

Mm.

[threedaystime]

Maybe the captain's doing this too? I don't remember how I got in the infirmary, either.

D'aww, Link.

[nantokanare]

...Mm. Maybe.

[Read: he hopes so]

[threedaystime]

Something's wrong with your eye, though?

[nantokanare]

It's blurry. It wasn't before.

[threedaystime]

Well... it does sound like you got a lot older.

[nantokanare]

I guess.

[Frown. Akagi doesn't want to be blind. Link's explanation certainly made sense, though. Did that mean this was what he was going to grow into? A blinding old man with sore joints? And what if the memory thing wasn't just the boat. Would he have to deal with that, too?

Ugh, too much going on.]

I need a smoke.

[threedaystime]

[Link doubts that'll help at all, but Akagi will be Akagi.]

Um, okay.
