Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[As with the weeks before, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to something resembling normalcy with shocking efficiency. The second floor rest area and Adventure Zone Death Orb Room are spotless again, the demon glitter has been vacuumed, the deflated orbs have been replaced. It's like none of it ever happened, like three more friends aren't dead and stored away in the guest house morgue.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

I've... done it. I think.

[buddyoldpal]

Ya... "think?"

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah, it's, uh, kind of unclear? I thought my memories were just coming in out of order, but now I'm... I'm pretty sure they're actually all from different timelines.

And in at least one of those timelines, it seemed like I'd somehow... come into that version of me from another timeline.

It's very confusing.

[buddyoldpal]

I'm guessin' ya mean this all metaphorically and ya didn't actually come inta yerself, right?

[ I am awake now and ready to make this awful pun, aren't you glad. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[I think the best part is that it works both in English and Japanese.]

--Nishitani-san.

[He doesn't know why he expected anything else.]

I meant my consciousness. My consciousness... switched over from one version of me to another.

[buddyoldpal]

[ やらないか？ ]

So ya moved... yer memories and all that stuff, into one o' those... different timelines? Am I gettin' this right?

[ Look, he might be grieving but there's always room for dirty puns. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah, that's about the shape of it. And unlike before, it seemed like something I could do at will, at least to some extent.

[buddyoldpal]

That somethin' ya can do now? If we had, okay, let's fuckin' say we're clones. Ya think someone moved us outta our bodies?

[misanthropicprinciple]

[After a pause, Junpei shakes his head.]

Even if something wasn't blocking people's powers, it's not something I can do by myself. That's probably why nobody turned up last week with my abilities. They could've gone to someone, but... but without another esper, I'm pretty much useless.

['Another esper,' he says. 'Akane Kurashiki,' he means.]

...Sorry.
