[ There's a bit of a pause before she realizes she should specify which one she is. ] ...The one from Jabberwock. I was wondering if we could talk for a bit, maybe. Just the two of us.
Yeah. Where are you right now? I can come meet you or, you could come to me. [The amount of answers he needs right now make it hard to speak. Yet he manages it anyway.]
[It isn't long at all before Hinata is telling her via wrist com that he's arrived. This whole situation makes him feel like he's on the edge of something. 'You looked like you were struggling with something.' What had that meant?]
[ When he mentions that he's arrived it actually takes her a bit to answer the door, seeing as she was actually in a middle of playing a game; more specifically, a rather particular RPG. ]
... You can come in, Hinata-kun. Sorry if it's a bit messy.
[ It actually isn't as messy as her room back on the island, but it's getting there. ]
...it could worse. [He steps inside and waits for the door to shut. Hinata swallows, unsure where to begin. What does he even have to say? What could he say? No matter what, one thing is clear.]
...Thank you. For everything you did for all of us. Please, don't apologize again. You did everything you could.
[ It takes a bit of time for words to form for her, unsure of how to follow up at first. But when he thanks her, she can't help but tug her lips into what seems to be a rather melancholic smile. ]
Even so... [ There were many things that she couldn't do, because of who she was. ] But, mm, you're welcome. I couldn't do much, but... it's okay. Because you guys figured things out in the end, right?
We did. [He agrees as he finally finds what he wants to ask.] Nanami. ...who is she. I don't remember her at all. But what she talked about...those are...
[He falters, his voice dying away. Hinata curls his hands into fiats and continues.] The suppressed memories. Aren't they.
[ She's rather quiet as she listens to Hinata's voice carefully, keeping her ears perked but her gaze dropped. If Nanami's going to be honest, she... doesn't really know how she wants to feel, about the fact that the Nanami Chiaki they had both met was not only a part of Hinata's suppressed memories, but was, in actuality, a real person. A real student who had that talent from Hope's Peak Academy.
But she shakes it off before looking at him directly in the eye with a focused gaze. ]
... Probably. I don't know anything about her, Hinata-kun. It explains why there was a file for someone named "Nanami Chiaki". [ Because she was a real student after all. ] I haven't told her about me yet, so... can you promise me not to tell her? I want to tell Nanami-san myself, but I'm not really sure how to do it.
[ And it kind of scares her, in a way... because it means that she's some sort of copy of the original. And having that knowledge sends chills to her bones. It makes her feel guilty, in a way, since it's like she's stolen something important. ]
...you. [He looks away. Some part of him is angry. So many answers lie right here out of his reach. But it isn't her fault. His anger lashes about his chest without a target to slam into.] I won't tell her.
....you're still you. The Nanami I spent time with and is my classmate.
[He raises his head, his eyes bright. He shuts his eyes and offers a smile.]
I'm glad you're here. [He doesn't know what else to say. All the questions crowd in demanding answers but he's pretty sure they've dealt with enough today.]
...I'm not sure what to believe about this place. But this much I'll believe in. After all you never let us down. And we're friends.
[ Nanami's lips part in silent awe and surprise in his words. There's a pang of guilt that hits her slightly in the pit of her stomach when he says that they're friends, but she manages to push through and persevere regardless of that.
But she can't... agree with what he's said. Not entirely. Especially about "letting them down". ]
I don't know either, but we'll make the best of it, probably.
[ Maybe a change of topic is in order. ]
Do you want to sit down, Hinata-kun? We could play games together. I was in a middle of an RPG, myself.
[He blinks. Even if that seems like changing topics a smile graces his face moments later.] Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that. If you don't want to switch to another game I can just watch. I don't mind.
Yeah, I'll need an explanation. I haven't gotten to play this one. [Or much of anything lately. He wants to ask more about his missing memories. But what the other Nanami had said still haunts him.
You seemed like you were struggling with something.]
Okay... there's actually a controls menu, so I can show you that.
[ She'll actually hit the buttons to show him the the controls menu, which shows all the combat. ] In this RPG, you can control up to four characters in battle if you have enough controllers for it. This is mostly the basics... the rest is up to you to figure out. You don't want to waste too much of your skill arts, though.
