[The screen is dark for a moment, before the shroud - a hand - moves, flops aside. A white-clad shoulder shifts, a soft, sleepy mutter barely audible over the feed. The view is one from inside a croft, the sleeper just visible at the edge of the camera. He rolls onto his back, showing a mop of pale blond hair, but the angle is too awkward to see

You know my place. [Though he continues to smile, he's suspicious about this.] But you are not a student of my school.

[In other words, elaborate plzkthx.]

[ or else she's going to get whipped?? ]

No, that's right, I go to Shiba Koen Junior High School.. I would definitely notice if there was a prince in that school! Ah-- either way, you could say I knew.. an older version of you.

[ what is being tactful or subtle. ]

[inbrilliancy]

[idk what you're talking about!!]

An... older version.

[y e p still not getting this.]

What you're telling me is that some apparent... other me has been here already?

[ video ]

[reloved]

Exactly, you're picking up on it already!

[ She's just beaming a smile, as if all of this just makes sense like that. ] Except I think he was around only a little while ago..

[ video ]

[inbrilliancy]

There... has to be some mistake.

[And now, now his unease starts to show again, creeping up over him.]

N-no, no, it was you for sure! Schneizel.. [ oh god what was his last name think Minako think!! ]

... Schneizel el Britannia, right?

No way! Aino Minako never forgets a cute look when she sees it, and he looked ab-so-lu-te-ly like you! ... Well, except older.

[ wait did she just say that out loud.. ]

[He's surprised, not from the compliment - he knows fine well - but from her... manner. So he gives a light chuckle, attempting to allay his own confusion for the time being.]

I hope you'll understand that this is somewhat... difficult to simply accept. After all, I hardly remember aging beyond seventeen.

Time travel isn't that weird of a thing, is it?

[ She raises her eyebrows curiously. Minako, it's definitely a weird thing, get out. ]

It happens all the time in movies.

[inbrilliancy]

...So do plenty of things that are impossible, miss Minako.

[reloved]

No way! Stuff like aliens, or jumping off high buildings.. All of that is totally possible!

[ video ]

[inbrilliancy]

You seem convinced.

[reloved]

There's no denying it once you see it with your own eyes, right?

Um, what do they say again in a situation like that.. Right! 'Seeing is breeding!'

[inbrilliancy]

...I suppose you have a point. [He's just. not going to correct that.]
