[And if anyone happened to want to find Kidou or stumbled upon him, he's at a terminal down one of the dorm halls. A bit of blood is splattered across the keyboard thanks to his coughing fits and he's either having one of those said coughing fits or just sitting on the seat in front of the terminal, hugging his knees to his chest as he waits for replies.

Also said gem in question? It's..... well, it's not black.

You should go lie down.

[ She doesn't know what the whole gem thing is about, but that's what you're supposed to do when you're sick, right? And.. he has to get better, he has to, because he's someone important to her. Someone really important-- even as she feels her memories mixing and mingling with someone else's, she tries to hold on to that thought. She can't lose it, no matter what happens..

She tries to reach out for his hand. ]

[sayakawashere]

I can't...

[He looks at her hand for a moment, and decides to keep his own hands to himself (they were kind of blood stained anyway)]

I need to stay here until Enoch comes.

[nomessiah]

But won't you get hurt more if you stay here? I don't-- [ want that? but why care about a stranger-- no, no, he isn't a stranger.. she shakes her head. ] I don't want that..

[sayakawashere]

I-- [And then that itch in his throat decided to become a cough, and he covers his mouth with his arm as he coughs his throat raw again...

After it's subsided, he sits there for a minute and tries to calm his breathing down so he doesn't instigate another coughing fit before speaking again, though his voice is a bit strained now.]

See this ring? [He holds it up to her] It's not supposed to be that dark... if it gets any darker, I'll die. Enoch can make it lighter, so I need to wait for him..

[nomessiah]

.. I'll wait with you, then.

[ Leaving him alone would be bad, it'd definitely be bad. She nervously grabs a lock of her hair to idly twirl it a little, but it's weird.. it's not her hair, after all. (or is it?) ]

I won't leave you alone now.. I-.. I'll stay right here.

[sayakawashere]

You don't have to...

[nomessiah]

I want to stay here. I need to make sure you're alright, because you're.. [ she actually seems to hesitate here for a moment, as if it's difficult to remember. ] You're.. the one I like, right?

[sayakawashere]

...yeah. [Oh noooo she's starting to forget, isn't she?]

Thank you, Aleph.


...Urotsuki.

[nomessiah]

[ .. They're both starting to forget. She doesn't mind the bodyswap, she doesn't mind even the violent bloody coughing or anything, this is much more painful than that. She doesn't want to forget, she doesn't want to lose the bond she's gained here, more than anything--

Why.. do her eyes suddenly feel so watery..? ]

[sayakawashere]

[He doesn't want to lose any of his new bonds, either... in fact, he's been trying to focus on being Kidou, as well as he could. Let's hope that doesn't backfire later--]



...Urotsuki? [Why have you stopped talking...]

[nomessiah]

[ Without even saying anything, or explaining herself, or even speaking up, she just.. starts crying. Not loudly or anything, it's silently as she's standing there like a statue. A crying statue. ]

[sayakawashere]

[He watches her for a moment, before getting up from his chair and wrapping his arms around her waist.]

[nomessiah]

[ She clings to him the moment he wraps his arms around her. No matter the fact that she's much taller than him now, she still clings to him, bowing her head and continuing to cry. It's only after a moment or two like that that she actually can speak up. ]

I.. feel like I'm forgetting it.. I--I don't want to forget you. It's.. too sad and lonely..

[sayakawashere]

[He stays quiet for a minute after hearing that. She was forgetting him.. and he was slowly starting to forget her... it was like some cliche love story in one of the soap operas he caught his dad watching once... and it was all just too unreal.

Suddenly, he tightens the grip on her shirt and tears start to rush to his eyes.]

...I promise I'll make sure you remember, and I'll never forget.

[nomessiah]

.. Y.. you can do that, Yuuto..?

[ No matter which body, Urotsuki is naive, after all - so she would immediately believe that even if there's no way that he could do something like that.

There's a sniff. ]

[sayakawashere]

[He simply nods. He was sure he'd be able to do something as easy as that..... for her sake.]

[nomessiah]

Then.. it'll be fine, right? If you'll help me to not forget, and you'll remember too, then.. i-it'll be fine..

[ she moves a hand off him for a moment to wipe her eyes. ]

Then I'll be fine.

[sayakawashere]

[He offers her a small smile]

We'll both be fine.
