[ It had been a complete accident.

The fact that she was now at his bedside just waiting for him to wake up after getting hit hard in the head was definitely not a part of today's plans for her, but he seemed to be relatively fine otherwise.

So now all she could do, really, was wait. ]

[dereban]

I know that.

[ As someone who is been in both of those spots. ]

But there's no judgment that needs to be made right now. And more importantly. Are you really going to be doing that again...? Is it really that difficult to just look at me? What are you, a hormonal teenager who can't control their own emotions while talking with someone?

I'm not going to bite, you know.

[spacialeyes]

You are crude in person as well, I see...

[He shakes his head.]

It's strange. I've never seen anyone this way. Usually I only see others through memories that I collect.

[And then he puts his hand to his face, near his eyes. He's still not used to having a physical body that he can feel.]

Eyes are weird.

[dereban]

You can't say that I'm crude when I haven't even cursed yet. And if you have Yuuto's memories, you should know I can be much worse than this.

[spacialeyes]

Of that, I am well aware… Regardless. I will be here to make sure this body does not cause itself further harm whilst recovering. I am also aware of Yuuto’s… personality.

[He tries to sit himself up and get out of the bed, though every movement is another surprise for him.]

[dereban]

...How long will it take?

[spacialeyes]

Only a few days, I hope.

[dereban]

A few days!?

[spacialeyes]

This body recovers at an unfortunately slow rate. A few days is the best that I can manage.

[dereban]

. . . so I'm stuck with you for the next few days. Might as well get to know each other better. At least on my end, anyway.

[spacialeyes]

I apologize for the inconvenience and will attempt not to be a burden on you. Giratou and Satou would likely take me in if I am in your way.

[dereban]

You're not in my way. Besides, I want to be the first person Yuuto sees when he's fully recovered. So even if I am stuck with you, you are also now stuck with me, whether you like it or not.

[spacialeyes]

It is not the case that I dislike you… But if you insist. Let us strive to get along until this body has recovered enough to expel all of my memories.

[dereban]

While I'm relieved about that, the fact that you kept on looking away from me makes me feel that way, you know... it kind of hurts.

[spacialeyes]

My apologies. I never expected to speak to you like this. It's... strange. I don't normally see anyone through my own eyes, or hear them through my own ears. It feels odd to have a body.

[dereban]

Mmm. I knew someone like that.

[ She doesn't sound happy about it, though. ]

But I don't mind being able to actually speak to you, you know. Even if it's... not out of the best circumstances.

[spacialeyes]

I appreciate your patience. Even speaking is strange... I do not normally have anyone to converse with unless I am "Yuuto."

[dereban]

Have you ever wanted to, though? As... yourself, and not as a part of Yuuto.

[spacialeyes]

[There's some hesitance, but ultimately he chooses to trust his feelings for her.]

Of course I have. That's why I 'created' Yuuto.

But an omnipotent being cannot exist in the singular existence of a human body. To experience a moment of time means to not experience all of time simultaneously. Even now, 'this' version of myself is only a part of the whole.

[dereban]

I suppose that's true. But... you're still different from Yuuto, in a sense. At the very least, your personality is different enough that I can consider you as your own person.

[spacialeyes]

Our experiences are quite different, yes. And a result, the experiment was most likely a failure.

His memories are at least worthwhile treasures. The world looks different from this angle.

[dereban]

. . . I have to ask.

You're able to access all his memories?

[spacialeyes]

Yes. All of them.

1 / 2

[dereban]

All of them, huh...

2 / 2

[dereban]

Wait, if you can see all of them, then... Ahh, I'm going to die of embarrassment, just end me now...!

[spacialeyes]

I assure you that I feel the same and will refrain from making this any more awkward than it already is. The physical pursuits of a relationship are a novelty I did not expect.
