[The feed clicks on inside the spacious and tastefully (re)decorated apartment. Shinji's face is close to the camera, the twisted smirk, lack of glasses, and smoldering cigarette between his lips making his identity obvious. This is the first time he's spoken to the network so blatantly since the torture that led to his death a month ago. There's

What. Shinji. D-DON'T ANNOUNCE THINGS LIKE THAT OVER THE NETWORK, DAMMIT!

[...welp so much for not talking to anyone today.]

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah. [...what the hell was that, was THAT what Destiny was talking about? Oh balls.]

And there we have it folks. A loud confession.

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

[ysobritish]

IT'S NOT A CONFESSION! YOU DON'T NEED A DAMN CONFESSION! AND YOU DON'T NEED TO BROADCAST IT!

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

I know I don't need a confession; you already gave me one. Or is my spending time with another man making you that confused with jealousy?

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

[barebacking]

Aren't you two just so sweet?

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Voice.

[lucycoded]

Which two? And I'll add you to the list of people who want me. Liquid's suddenly got competition.

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Guess, Shinji.

He does love a fight, and I wouldn't want him to win too easily.

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

He's just about as bad with the whole denying feelings thing as your man, isn't he? Liquid's just louder about it.

Well good, would be a shame if the floor was clean after that.

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

[Normally, this wouldn't really surprise her. Shinji is, after all, another facet of the mind that holds Kazuhiko. She expected him to resurface. But it's the conversations afterward that bring her to a sudden halt.

He's talking to Yaha and Liquid. He's talking to them like he's friends with them. More than likely, this means he remembers. But how is that possible if Kazuhiko doesn't? Has Kazuhiko been lying to her?

Shaken with doubt, she doesn't comment, but she keeps an eye on this post.]

[ WOW, how does she even react to this. Especially when her options are so limited. ]

Kick his ass, Ooe-san. [ Cue I want you, baby... and palm to face. ]

Always and forever! i'm not about to let him get away with this!

[That evil smile on his lips is just imagined, surely.]

...which one do you want, me or him? 'cause it seems we're both taken.

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

[ AUGGGGHHH SPUTTER. She knows you know she knows you're just being a dick, but >B[ ]

NEITHER! No offense, Ooe-san, but... [ GROAN why is she even apologizing? ]

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Absolutely none taken. But thanks.

I want you, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah.

[...Well that explains a few things.]

Seems like you found those zombies.

[Whether he's talking about the video game or something else isn't entirely clear.]

[voice]

[bornfromdeath]

...ah. [Cover broken. Well, it's alright. It was only a matter of time.] I did find zombies, yes. You might recognise one of them, I'm sure.

Are you alarmed?

[voice]

[deathlessness]

A little surprised, maybe. In hindsight, I suppose I should have realised.

[voice]

[bornfromdeath]

Hey, it wasn't that obvious, right? Besides, it's not as if most people would instantly equate me with him. Most people are probably going to be surprised to find out we're friends.
