Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works!

Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem.

I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless!

drunk people kinda come with the territory at work
if they get too rowdy i kick them out but you do kinda have to wonder where they end up after that
so its good when theres people like you who can take care of their friends

i dont know that its really not having to deal with it here
that kinda thing can make it hard
when you meet new people
when you fall for them
like theres this other unattainable standard

Honestly, I don't think it's wrong to do that if they're being disruptive. But yeah, if it's someone I know, of course I'll try to help them home.

About that... I agree, I do, But...

Um
Majima-san, is it okay to talk to you about something personal? About memories and feelings... I'll understand if you'd rather not.

yeah go ahead im listening

Thanks. Sorry to bother you with this. It's about the person in my memories...

I know that my other self was in love with them... That much becomes more and more obvious. But every memory I get is so vivid that I could swear they were real, like something that just happened. And seeing the things that made my other self fall for that person from his perspective is... it makes me feel like I'm living it.

Like I'm falling for him too. It isn't as serious as love, nothing like that... But I have a deep affection for someone I'll probably never meet, and I don't know how I should feel about it.

You sounded like you were talking from experience earlier... Have you ever had to deal with that, Majima-san? Sorry, I know this is too personal, but I don't have anyone else to turn to. I thought you might understand, even if just a little.

you think its bad if it is as serious as love?
i dont think you gotta qualify is like that
sometimes the best thing you can do is just
embrace the shit that gets thrown at you

i do get it though
im happy with my boyfriend
but theres someone in my memories who
i cant explain it very well, he feels like another part of me
i dont want to suggest kiryu-chan is a replacement or something but
its different
different kinds of love

Yeah, you're probably right... It isn't the same love that my memory self feels, but there's definitely a connection there that's so strong that it's almost stifling. If I had someone say those things to me, my actual self, I'd fall for them for sure.

So that's how it is. I don't have a partner here, but I think I understand what you're saying, even if it's hard to put into words. It's sappy, but it's like... my heart knows what you're getting at? Ugh. Sorry, that was bad.

How have you dealt with it, Majima-san? Loving someone fully but still having that feeling pull at you. They're on different planes, so even if they don't overlap... it's a lot, isn't it?

you dont need to apologize, i know what you mean

youre right though
its a lot
but it mustve been like that before, too
maybe i just had both
for different things? at different times?
i keep thinking that should make it easier like any day now ill just figure that shit out and itll click and itll be like
ah yeah thats how you were, majima, you loved the two of them and theres no problem here's how to handle it
but now
i dont want to do something wrong by kiryu

Your situation is different because you have both of them in your memories, but still. Maybe you did love both of them and just haven't realized it yet.

There's a chance you'll get more memories and piece more of the puzzle together, but even if you don't, I think it'll be alright.That's kind of presumptuous of me to say, but...

I don't know Kiryu-san well enough to speak for him, but he's a kind person, and you're important to each other. I don't think he'd blame you for anything your other self did, since you're your own person, and I'm sure he knows you love him the most.

he's a kinder person than i am
and he might be sure of things that might not necessarily be true

I don't really know if I have a place to talk, but I think it'll be fine... Since you trust and care about each other.

thanks

im sure youll figure it out, too
with time

Thanks, Majima-san. I can only hope.

im rooting for you kid
