@Classroom_God // !!!! 🥲 thank you so much!

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

Ghosts…?

-his brows arched apologetically.

“…Tell you what, if you ever need anyone to maintain and modify bikes and cars for you, I’m always here. I’m sure we’ll get into plenty of trouble on whatever journeys we have.”

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

A’s expression is a bit bittersweet.
He’s probably thinking about B.

“…It’s so strange to hear that my story isn’t finished. I think I fell into the frame of mind that… well, even if I’m alive, I was more or less performing the motions, you know…?”

He sighs, -

— Your story isn't over yet, so it's fine for the tattoo to be incomplete.

Who knows, maybe you'll add one of our adventures to it! Because there are so many cool places I want to show you!"

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

There’s something nuts about how we talk about our names like a thing we got from a gachapon but I don’t have the bandwidth to get into that

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

Man, I think I lucked out with my name. N did too.

even add to what's already there."

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

"Too nosy? Nah, but you might think I'm a bit less of a cool big brother if I tell 'ya."

A laughs a bit, shaking his head.

"Irezumi. Well, real unfinished irezumi... I wasn't in with that crowd for too long if you catch my drift. Nowadays I'm not sure what I'd-

— he couldn't help but let his gaze fall on A's tattoos, curiosity widening his eyes.

"Am I too nosy if I ask you what's the meaning of your tattoos?"

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

I'm mostly the same...less on the bookshelves and more with socket wrenches, I guess.

A dream, though?

[nora (E) iriart. @equalizejvstice]

Probably not. I'm not the most social person. I think I have more bookshelves than I do acquaintances.

I wouldn't really say that. 💧 It's more akin to seeing something from a dream or two.

@SHINIGAMlNOME — mechanic work now. Keeps me fed. Garage keeps me dry at night.”

His brows furrow slightly.

“I thought about going back to Osaka, but in the end I never had the chance to make it out of England.”

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

@SHINIGAMlNOME He’s seen a thousand times before. They’re more mature now, more angular.

Foolishly, A has a thought.

‘I’m glad he grew up safely.’

He has no fucking clue.

“I’m not involved with those people anymore. Well, mostly, sometimes they still poke around… but I do—

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

—Will wanna know.”

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

“Heh, I know you will.
Word of advice? Bring a flashlight for the evening.”

A checks his watch— seems to remember something unpleasant. He doesn’t address it, but it shows on his face for a moment.

“Oh, there’s an arcade on High Street, by the way. Figured Matt -

[𝑴𝒊𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒍. @HeirInShadows]

"I... I'll keep that in mind!! Thank you so much, you are the best!!"

There's a mischievous sparkles in his eyes, as if he already knows what to do with that precious information.

"I'll test it this Saturday! For a little trip!"

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

—What’s your opinion on explosives?”

[𝐀 @firstalternate]

“And deal with trudging through my old diary? You might die of teenaged angst, you know.”

He thinks about it for a moment.

“….I also definitely don’t have the cash to bail you out the honest way if either of us sets foot in that hellhole without external help. —
