Hey man!!

You know just thinking, we ain't in Dup or anything anymore and I know you're uh, close with Ann too and all so...

Yeah, don't feel bad if the urge to go to bone town with her happens again! You got my seal of approval!!!

1/2; WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[unevoke]

[ why is ryuji like this???????????????????????????????? ]

2/2

[unevoke]

no

[ that's it, that's the answer. ]

BECAUSE.

[effinskull]

Wait. No... no what?!

Like, no you don't wanna bang Ann, or no you don't want my approval?! HUH! I thought this was a good thing!

[unevoke]

i'm not gonna bang your girlfriend!

[ he's not a homewrecker??? ]

[effinskull]

..........

...But back in Dup that happened all the time... didn't it?

[unevoke]

[ cease and deSIST ]

that's not the point
did you even ask her first

text ; not even an hour after ryuji i'm so sorry

[panthered]

Hey, y'know, I've been thinking.

I never said anything, but, you know you can just ask if you need help with Chroma, right? We're not in a contract or anything anymore, but, I've still got your back if you need it. That hasn't changed.

I mean, after everything we went through in Duplicity, it probably goes without saying, but... I thought I probably should say it, anyway. Just in case.

[ "Just in case you haven't gotten it through your thick skull that we care about you" is implied, okay. ]

y’all are gonna kill him

[unevoke]

[ If it weren’t for the timing, he’d think nothing strange about this message. As it is, he can’t help but squint suspiciously at it. ]

did ryuji put you up to this

[ Sorry he is an ungrateful ass. ]

what else is new?? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[panthered]

Uhh. No?? We did talk about things not being like in Duplicity but it wasn't like a specific thing or anything.

What'd he do now.

[ You can practically hear her sigh through text. ]

omg why are you awake

[unevoke]

[ Oh. Hm. ]

nothing

[ MOVING ON: ]

don’t worry about me
if duplicity didn’t kill me this place won’t

full zombie mode

[panthered]

I'll just ask him, then.

I worry about you because I care about you.
And I'm not going to stop, so you might as well just accept that it's going to happen!!

[unevoke]

don’t do that

[ why can’t y’all just leave well enough alone!! ]

it was just stuff stuff i didn’t think he should have been saying for you

text; literally 12:01 AM

[panthered]

[ It's your birthday, Shinjiro. It has been for a whole minute. Hope you weren't asleep because she's texting you a string of messages anyway! ]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I bet you thought I forgot, huh? Nope. Too bad!! But since it's your birthday and I know you wouldn't want me to make a big deal out of it, I just figured I'd text you.

Oh, but, don't think you're getting out of getting a present. That's still happening!

i can't believe this

[unevoke]

[ he's always up past midnight, thanks dark hour!!!!

but also: why ]

couldn't you have waited until morning

:-)

[panthered]

Technically, it is morning.

But nope. Couldn't wait! Was I first???

[unevoke]

you're not getting a trophy or anything

[ so, yes ]

but thanks

[panthered]

Just knowing I won the race is good enough for me.

Kidding. But I always liked it when Shiho wished me a happy birthday right away, so I thought you might, too.

[ …she was totally watching the minutes count down. ]

So, you're welcome! Have any plans at all?

[unevoke]

you better not expect the same on your birthday

[ ....he'll probably still send her a text at 12:01 though, now that he knows she likes it. but she doesn't have to know that. ]

does ryuji taking me to a strip club count

after she's discovered he's crystallized

[piercedyourheart]

i dont know when youre getting back
but i swear that if you arent back by the party
koro is going to have a different pink collar every day of the week
jerk

[unevoke]

[ IT'S NOT HIS FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't be like this, yukari.... ]

[piercedyourheart]

[ yeah well whatever!!

the following texts are scattered throughout the first half of september: ]

it looks like you definitely arent back so get ready for koro's collars

the party is coming together though. weve just gotta find a place and then we'll be all set
i really dont know how shes gonna take it but just have to hope for the best

[ insert multiple cute pictures of koro at the beach with swim goggles on and living his best life here ]

d'you ever feel really out of your depth
like totally out of it
where you have no idea what youre doing and its all happening too fast
everything is just way too confusing.
ill tell you about it when you get back aragaki senpai

[piercedyourheart]

[ and throughout the second half of september: ]

iris sucks
its nice but it sucks

so the party....
happened
it ended up fine but
you owe me for ditching

you missed jellyfish coming out of everywhere in your apartment
this queen tried to take over the planet using them
it probably wouldnt have been the weirdest thing youve ever seen
sees saw a whole lot weirder
but it was annoying and my apartment is a wreck
im totally exhausted

ryoji kun's here. do you remember him? you probably dont since you werent at school all that much
didnt think id see him again
but then again i didnt think id see minako again either

koro misses you a ton aragaki senpai. you better get back here soon.
or else. idiot.

let’s say like october 6th, vague gestures at dates

[unevoke]

sorry for missing the party
not sure what knocked me out
i’m fine though

[ for certain definitions of ‘fine’ ]

thanks for taking care of koromaru
and handling the party
i really do owe you one

[piercedyourheart]

im gonna hold you to that
and you dont have to thank me
koromaru is the best roommate anyone could ask for

it really is nice to see you back and okay btw. you almost had me worried there
