So I'm not a big laws guy, but I'm pretty sure walking around with a giant scythe would be against some kind of law, despite that being a shitty kind of weapon.

Does it make a difference, not-getting-arrested-wise, if that scythe is a book at the time?

[He'd say something about wanting it a month or two ago, but he can't lift it when it's a scythe, so it's not that useful.]

Also Retrospec doesn't care what your legal address is, but I don't think that should surprise anyone.

...yeah, that doesn't sound like the kind of thing you want to spill to just anyone.

[he leans back against the sofa, arms folded behind his head, and hums quietly to himself.]

Apparently I might be dead, too, so-- I can get that. I don't actually remember it yet, though.

[thesettingsun]

I'm glad you don't.

[The words come out in a rush.]

It's terrifying, and you're more helpless than you'd ever be if you were in control of your own actions instead of just remembering someone else's, and - and I don't like to think of you feeling like that.

[He understands wanting to know what happened instead of hearing it secondhand, but... not for this.]

Shuji, hey-

[chuuya reaches over there to set a hand on shuji's shoulder, with a light little squeeze.]

...don't worry about it, okay? I don't remember it. I'm fine.

[but of course the thought bubbles give a bit of the lie to his response; one pops up there to add:

Some of that memory shit's close enough, pretty sure I could handle it.

and also:

Don't think I really like the thought of Shuji having to remember that either.]

[thesettingsun]

You're fine.

[Shuji can't help but lean into Chuuya's side. The memory bubbles above their heads are noted and ignored - Shuji doesn't need to stop to read them when Chuuya's words are enough.]

I'll try not to worry about it. Past you doesn't sound like he'd have the same kind of issue as past me when it comes to dying, and you're stronger than I am, so - even if you do remember it, maybe it won't be as hard for you.
