Not out-out, but there's still so many places he could be...

I didn't think to check the hospital, I might have to, now...

[ What if he's..? Nope, nope, don't even think it. ]

I haven't seen him since last night. We went to bed and when I woke up, he wasn't there. That's not that weird, because he goes jogging like literally every day, but he usually wakes me up when he's done, and he didn't, today.

I have someone checking the gym and our jogging route, and I tried getting in contact with one of his other girlfriends, but, so far, nothing.

um

ok just hear me out. do you think there’s a possibility he went home?

no one knew i left when I disappeared from here for 3 days at the end of august except rise because she texted me and I didn’t answer

i came back obvs but itd been 6+ months for me

[panthered]

It is a possibility, yeah.

[ Not one she wanted to entertain, but of course it's been on her mind this entire time. ]

Did you remember anything about being here? When you were home.

[dj_jiraiya]

[right, that was dumb of him to ask. she’s been to another place before this one. okay, just gonna have to press on.

and take probably too long to answer because he didn’t really want to answer this.]

no, i didnt

[panthered]

I was afraid of that.

[ Just being honest. ]

So he won't remember us...

[ She'd thought of how horrible it'd be for Ryuji to go home to an Ann who didn't live him back, and that had been awful. She hadn't thought it could get worse. But the idea of the two of them being too stubborn to ever realize how perfect they were for each other… that's the worst.

She hopes Yusuke is right, and that if they were meant to be together, they would be, regardless of the circumstances. ]

I hate this.

[dj_jiraiya]

im sorry.

but i think if you guys already had the chemistry and stuff, it’ll happen anyway. just under way different circumstances. just dont lose hope.

[panthered]

Maybe... I mean, when I look back on it, it isn't like we were much different then than we are now, but, I definitely never would have thought we'd end up like... in love with each other? It took some pretty big stuff happening to get either of us to admit it, too. Scary stuff. Probably scarier than anything we faced as Phantom Thieves.

But I guess it isn't entirely a bad thing for him to forget if the me there doesn't love him back. I think that scared me the most, was the thought of the me there breaking his heart without realizing it.

Ugh. I'm sorry. This is really heavy stuff, I didn't meant to dump all of this onto you.

[dj_jiraiya]

nah dont worry about it

i may not look it but im a pretty good listener. or uh, reader. texter. u know wat i mean!

sides no one ever rly knows if when and who theyre gonna b in love w

it just happens and u guys r great together so i think itll happen again!

[panthered]

I do know. And you are.

I hope you're right. I guess we won't know either way, but... I still hope you're right.

Thanks, Yosuke. It's still going to take a lot of getting used to, knowing he isn't here, but... I think this helped.

[dj_jiraiya]

glad i could help even if it doesnt get ryuji back.

but um... if u ever just wanna hang out or somethin, just hit me up ok?
