Yeah, I guess nothing's been replaced for me, either... [Unless he forgot the fact that he forgot something, but that's a confusing train of thought.]
But who knows how it'll be if you get zapped with a mega-buttload of the memories at the same time?
[He runs a hand through his hair uncertainly.]
...I believe you, though. You can hold onto who you are as long as you believe! I just... wanna make sure you know what kinda risks you could be taking...
[ With a small smile, Ryoji taps the knuckles of one hand to his chest, once, before it slides off, the smile falling with it. ]
When you put it like that, though... We don't really know what kind of risks there are, do we? Even though we're so close, that it feels like the key to figuring everything out it right here and now... I don't really know what I'm doing, in the end.
[Except now Kurt's hesitant, and he doesn't know which to choose.]
But I guess that's a point that goes both ways. On one hand, better to stay safe then sorry. On the other hand, if we can get real answers from these risks... Maybe that'll be worth it, right? The yolo!
It's true we only live once, it would be nice if this life could last a little longer than today... It's 50-50, right? Then, we'll leave it to fate, or chance.
[ Ryoji digs around his pocket for a quarter... He has no quarter, because who carries around loose change anymore... But he does have his wallet, and in that wallet, his ID, which he hands to Kurt. ]
Give it a toss. Heads, we continue. Tails, we go back.
[ Ryoji takes the ID back before he loses it forever in the darkness, relinks his arm with Kurt so he doesn't lose him in the darkness, and squares off facing the dense black fog of memories. ]
We'll run until we come out the other side, or... collide with a wall, I suppose. But as long as we can, back on our feet to keep going, alright? Are you ready?

Your ID? Well... I guess that's as good as anything... Here goes nothing!
[He flips it into the air, catches it, and...]
Looks like your face came up! I guess that would be... heads?

Got it. I'm ready... to yolo like we never yolo'd before! Let's do this!
[And, to seal the deal, he shouts out:]
KUUUUUUUURT WAGNER!!
[And then, he tries to start the mad dash.]
