[gorb]

I'm glad the two of you have each other. That's an important thing, you should protect it as long as you can.

[shadowban]

he's my best friend, and i love him.

...kind of like you and sensei.

[gorb]

( KIND OF. )

Ah, if only we had been that solid when we were your age.

[shadowban]

in both your defence, you didn't have an ancient demonic sorcerer puppeteering you two.

...just fushiguro-san, i suppose.

[gorb]

It might have ended the same way without him. The fault was in me.

[shadowban]

does it really matter whose fault it was, in the end?

it's not your fault that our society is messed up.

[gorb]

Maybe.

It hardly matters now.

[shadowban]

because you're both happy, or because you both died?

[gorb]

Both?

What's done is done. We only have here. Better to work hard at it now.

[shadowban]

wouldn't that be so depressing ? that we've suffered so much in life already, and it's all for nothing in the end.

[gorb]

It was depressing even when there was a future. I'm probably not the one you should ask that of.

( Considering how badly he probably needed sedating. )

[shadowban]

you say that because you failed.

[gorb]

Probably.

We'll never really know.

[shadowban]

...no, i guess we won't.

do you play sports, geto-san?

[gorb]

Not in a long time.

I used to like basketball. How about you?

[shadowban]

i've played some. it's not too fun playing against sensei after a while, since he always wins.

can we play?

[gorb]

He used to cheat by annoying me enough I'd summon a curse, so I know how that is.

But yes, let's play.

[shadowban]

HE DOES THAT ALL THE TIME. piss me off so bad i call one of the dogs out, he's such a

i promise to be fair. actual ball rules.

[gorb]

Together we'll pave the way over any basketball related trauma we might have, mm? And after we can get ice-cream. Without him. And tell him so.

[shadowban]

i'll message him right now. gotta keep him out of our business.

[gorb]

Ha.

All right, that's very fair.

[shadowban]

[ minutes later ]

why is sensei being weird.

[gorb]

The true lifelong conundrum.

How weird?

[shadowban]

he's being nice about it.

[gorb]

Is he not allowed to be nice?
