Huh...

[Kaito has just seen today's date somewhere on the street - like a newspaper rack. He looks a bit baffled on the realization that,]

We've been here for a year today.

[He means Mekaito, whom he's absently talking to, but it applies to leftsearching too.]A lot has changed in a year, hasn't it? First we met another "me," then that bus showed up... things

[suddenly: behind you]

Your question is moot. There is no avenue for escape.

1/3

[futureforbirds]

[oh, because that's not creepy at ALL.]

Wh-

[futureforbirds]

[he turns around, sees the tank hands, and is even more creeped out.]

[futureforbirds]

Yeah right. Since when?

[this dude spends a lot of time indoors, and has missed quite a few memos as a result]

[vocaloidiot]

You can't pin down something like that to 'should's!

[futureforbirds]

...

[heh]

I guess you've got a point. But it seemed like something that needs consideration...

[vocaloidiot]

Well, sure, but you're considering the wrong thing. Rather than 'should I be ready?', just consider 'Do I want to?', then base it all off that.

It's not like we've got anyone to poke us with sticks into doing the opposite.

[futureforbirds]

I don't really want to leave since I've made friends here, but... what if I need to? There's still people back home, behind a wall. I can't stay here solely because I like it.

[leftsearching]

Isn't that up to you?

[Suddenly, a hobo. He overheard the last bit while turning the corner.]

[futureforbirds]

[Whoa, didn't see you there]

A-ah, you heard that, huh? [he rubs his head]

Yeah, it is. I was just thinking. I've come so far, how much further do I need before it's time?

[leftsearching]

[a slight smile.]

Again, that's up to you.

[futureforbirds]

[he nods]

Kaito that's not made of metal! [Glomp!]

You've been here a year?

1/2

[futureforbirds]

[whoa whoa. Because he's indeed not made of metal, he steadies himself so as not to fall. B-but he'll hug back after that!!]

Yeah! A year since today. [he smiles] Doesn't seem that long, does it?

[abovethewall]

I have been here for a year too!

[maple_birdsong]

Mekaito! [You're getting hugs too.]

A year is a long time to be someplace, isn't it?
