It's only been two years and once again, I find myself here at this academy. Why did I decide to return? For once, I was finally free - of obligations, attachments, pressure. The world was at fingertips and yet, I threw it away to return here once more.
But why is that? What possessed me to return? Linger doubts? That can't be. Mamiya's been gone for years now. Was it because of her?
Ah yes, Tokiko. I entered the Ministry for that woman. I accomplished unthinkable tasks to gain her admiration and for what? To be humiliated? To be taken advantage of and discarded?
Then he appeared. Yes, I remember it all so clearly. He had ideals and he supported my judgments. Together, we'd become an unstoppable team that would revolutionize modern thinking!
Months have passed since returning here. Though my research has gone well, I'm left with one lingering thought. Why am I truly here? We've gone full circle now, haven't we?
Mamiya... it's been years since I last saw you. No, that can't be right. I saw just the other day. Ah yes, we were conversing over tea during your free period. You were listening intently to my advise as usual. Your smile and care free attitude... you're such a naughty boy, teasing me like that.
Mamiya... Tokiko... even the Professor...
We're back where we've started, aren't we?

(OOC: This thought process was the result of a conversation with Nanami last night. The "Mamiya" he thinks is still alive, is actually in fact Minato.)
