Black Memories

[a_linear_mind]

[As with others involved in the final battle against Chimera, Willis has found himself in a contemplating mood following its conclusion and his return to a Unity Group base. Despite his best efforts to seemingly throw himself onto the quickest route out of this world he was still here.]

Great...now my head is jumbled up with all of this also.

[The state of his mind on the other hand was a bit more loosened after making near direct impact with a Sphere, even if it was a false one. Considering that it was his third time having to deal with dimensional instabilities and this time in a much more direct way. Fleeting images of others dimensions had been burned into his mind, small glimpses but it was enough to make him question his own memory after witnessing some familiar faces in those flashes.]

That was such a stupid idea...

[While he knew it was simply Jii Edel's way of messing with them he couldn't help but feel that the puppetmaster knew more about them than he let on despite his mocking tone. Willis would know about that best.]

The Black History, are there really that many dimensions that are doing worse than this one...how many other dimensions do we even exist in...

Stupid is putting it lightly. I hope Setsuko gave you a good chewing out for that.

[Someone else who looks less than pleased by the stunt Willis pulled is there too.]

...You know, it's almost like you -want- to get yourself in trouble.

[a_linear_mind]

So you heard about that...

[He knew he was probably in for another earful yet for some reason he looks at Elys in a very strange way.]

...wouldn't that be better for you though Nagisa, I'd be out of your hair and you wouldn't have to worry about me anymore.

[Wait...]

...Nagi...sa?

2/2

[Having no idea who that is and not liking that weird look in her friend's eyes, Elys approaches and holds the sides of Willis' head.

At the same time, she examines it like something fragile she just dropped, and hoping not to find cracks in.]

I know from what Setsuko experienced that it's rough being around a Sphere's powers, but did you hit yourself somewhere too?

[a_linear_mind]

H-hey Elys stop, I'm fine...and is that really what you should be taking away from this.

I'm trying to be serious.

[a_centered_mind]

...I'm serious, too.

Who's Nagisa?

[a_linear_mind]

Ah...don't tell me. You're jealous aren't you?

[Time to push the Tsun buttons as a distraction]

Don't worry, she's just a friend. A close friend, I don't think you'd like her.

[a_centered_mind]

[Elys treats this with understandable incredulity.]

Oh? I'll be the judge of whether I'll like her or not. And if she's that close to you, you would have mistaken me for her like that before.

I did hear what you said about dimensions too. Now spill: what did you see?

[a_linear_mind]

It's not really anything special, and besides I'm still in a bit of a daze. I could have mistaken anyone else for her...

[Despite saying this he's trying his hardest to avoid eye contact with Elys.]
