[ 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. ]

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.

[dereban]

...I appreciate that. [ Inaba is definitely red in the face now, though. ] I'll save my screaming into a pillow for later, at least.

[spacialeyes]

And I shall leave that to Yuuto.

[On that note, the kami does attempt to stand- With some difficulty, with him needing to use the belt tail to balance himself.]

It should only be his head that has suffered substantial damage at least.
