There will be a way to stop it. We just need to find it.

You're right... I'm sure that things will be okay.

But if it's filled with people as friendly as Red, why not? And so he nods, smiling lightly.]
I take it the pirates are a new thing, then, Red-san?

... It's a new thing, yeah. There's always something new happening here. You can read about all that in the brochure.
Actually, you're the first one I've given this version. Someone made a brochure months ago, but it hasn't been updated and that person was often a victim of this world's tricks. He'd come and go constantly.
I decided to rewrite the brochure, so I hope it makes sense...

It looks well-written to me, Red-san. If you'd like, I can look it over when we get there? After all, from the perspective of someone new, I can let you know if it is helpful.
[The smile suggests he knows it will be.]

The small surprise was on Red's face for a second, then he smiled out happily. It would definitely be a huge help to him, too. He can't really tell if it was useful or not... But the compliment and the smile did encourage him.]
... Thank you.

No need to thank me. You're doing a good service for everyone who arrives here, right?
If you ever need any other help with it, I'd be happy to help out in any way, if I can.

[He lowered his head a bit, but he still continued to smile.]
This is the first time I'm doing something like this, too. I don't really know how to go about it to implement it formally... I'm just casually handing out baskets for now.
It would be nice if others also started doing it, not just me.

I can help distribute them, if you'd like. It'd be more efficient, and we'd be less likely to miss someone with more people handing them out.

... Minato. I'm glad I met you.

I was here before, wasn't I?

Would you like to continue where we left off before, Red-san? I can't say I remember, but I can imagine what I've missed.
[A soft laugh, almost a 'heh'.]
Let's make up for lost time, shall we?

Upon Minato's realization, Red couldn't say anything against it. He was never the type to lie and... these words felt so familiar and warm. It's not a bad thing. But he didn't want Minato to think it's anything bad or it's his responsibility now that he can't remember. Red paused a bit, watched how Minato laugh and...
He nodded once, twice...
All the while, he kept his own smile, but his eyes closed now and he wiped the edges of his own eyes with a finger.]
... But, how were you able to tell?

Well, other than the fact that you knew my name--
...It felt familiar. It feels as though...we could have been friends.
[Does he sound crazy? It seems...reasonable to him, truly, after everything he has experienced.]
I'm sorry that I don't entirely remember. But...perhaps we can catch up?

It's not your fault. And I'm happy that you still want to be friends. You haven't changed at all... I'm really, really happy.
