no, i said "fubuki, don't lick the swing set," and you said "don't tell me what to do," and then you licked the swing set.
remember that time you dared me to lick the swing set?
...Took me long enough, huh—
Hey, hey, don’t worry about that right now~ You’ve gotta rest up, Tai-chan!
(...You normally don’t cry that easily— what *happened* to you?)
...stop calling me a tsundere, already...
(*he's holding back a smile.)
my cute cute cute little tsundere~! the love of my life~!!
...You self-sacrificing *idiot*-- // ...Uh— Nice to see you again...?
...Sorry I can't be there for you anymore. // Is that— Taiki?! Taiki!! You’re safe!! Taiki!!!
[...finger gun.]
you're pretty cool, too. i... don't think i need to tell you to look after fubuki, honestly.
youre pretty neat.
take care of ryuu for me, okay?
Uh, thanks-- You're... pretty nice yourself.
(Kind of like a puppy. Really energetic, and-- always there for you.)
...You don't have to think about the meeting part too much, though.
TAI-BRO!! YO!! 👉👉 Where do I even start? He’s a brilliant person, better friend, and someone I’m crazy grateful to have met!! Well, schrödinger’s met. (Really, I’m glad we became friends.)
...I hope you can at least *rest* after all they put you through, too.
I hope you'll find some way to be happy out there. I'm unbelievably glad you didn't have to join the circus.
...I-- don't really know what to make of you, but you didn't deserve this.
We didn't get t' speak much; what a shame! Ye seemed like a bright lad, although a bit... Well, no one would expect that in a situation like this one, anyway.
...I don't know what to say.
...You can make it out of here, Taiki. Take care of yourself.
...I hope you heard all that. (I don’t know how I’m gonna pick up all the pieces, but— at least now I can actually start, right? ...Thanks for everything, again.)
I did... even if you can't hear me, the message came loud and clear. I'm glad to have had a friend like you.
Take care of yourself, Taiki. Live a good life for me, okay?
(... And please don't forget me...)
(You shouldn't have had to die like that, either, and I'm sorry about it.)
(But I'll keep that journal going, even if it won't be the same. Thank *you* for everything.)
...Thank you.
Thank you for everything. For being my friend, for supporting me, for the rare smiles and for just keeping going despite everything. And... thank you for continuing my journal. Thank you for living. I... know I don’t normally say it to friends, but I really do love you. You and Hanae both. Please stay alive. ...And if you could, could... you tell Sora, for me..? I... never got a chance to say goodbye.
(...Hey.)
(Wanna know why I don't trust stairs?)
(...'cause they're always up to something.)
Hahahaha!!! You're so funny, Tai-tai! 'v'
(...I don't know if anything comes after, but I hope you've found a place there, too.)
I'm not so sure, myself.
I don't give a shit how rich you are--I will actually *pay* you to never talk to me again.
I can't wait to never see your goddamn face again.
...You deserved better, y'know.
It wasn't your fault.
(Nobody should blame themselves for something as gruesome as that.)
…Uh- yeah. (Was it worth that many words to him…?)
... We met once, in an idea far away. I doubt you remember it, really, but I look at you sometimes- I wonder if you know that. I wonder if we'd get along. But that doesn't matter all that much to me, right now. The 'me' you met wasn't quite right, but I still remember the gesture. I won't forget it- not up here, at least.
