Hi. My name's Yu Narukami; I'm in your homeroom.

Would you be willing to answer some questions for me regarding your incident?

Hey.

[He might have normally added some kind of quip about his name, but hearing about the incident immediately has him feeling too down for humor. He thinks he recalls the name from roll call... one of the kids he hasn't spoken to yet.]

So you heard about that. Sure, fire away.

First: Is it true that you died and then revived?

[He doesn't beat around the bush, this one.]

[No, no he doesn't. He actually feels like he prefers that this is over text. It feels more mechanical to just type the answers, without having to look someone in the eyes.]

Yeah. Believe it or not, that's what happened, man.

I do believe you.

How much time passed between your death and revival?

Thanks.

It was a whole week, apparently.

And... do you remember anything during that time? Dreams, maybe?

No, not dreams. Just nothing.

When I woke up, I didn't even know any time had passed.

I don't imagine you would have an answer to this, but: would you think it possible for someone to die but take longer than that to revive?

[Gee, wonder who he's talking about.]

[He does wonder if he is asking in regards to that girl... but it could also be a hypothetical than anyone would wonder.]

Sorry, I've got no answers there.

I don't even understand how this worked out for me. This is supposed to be impossible.

But here, the possible and the impossible flip around all the time. I think that at this point, any answer to that question might be just as likely.

Well... I'm still waiting on someone.

I assume you know about Naoto Shirogane. If you see her anywhere, please tell me.

[This, here, is the main reason Yu chose text. Because he didn't want Kurt to see if he accidentally lost his composure for a second. Because that's definitely the proper way to deal with grief, right?]

[Kurt himself is going pale as he thinks of that. He never met Naoto, but he's become all too familiar with what happened to her. It's scary that she hasn't returned at all like he has - and it's a subject of guilt as well.

That, plus the fact that this guy knows her by name... It makes his stomach sink. He knows that this guy's new, so he has to be someone who knew her before all of this...]

I'm really sorry.

I'm going to keep my eyes out on her. I promise.

[Looking past all of the native students who now look like her.]

[Yeah, that... he figured the clones out pretty fast, and wasn't at all pleased with it. Their captors were taunting him.]

Thanks.

[And then, on the spur of the moment, he adds:]

We were -- are? -- close friends at home. I just wish I could have been here sooner; maybe something would have changed.

It's only natural to feel that way.

But trust me. I don't think anyone could have stopped what happened.

You're probably right.

[Well... he got the info he wanted, and he definitely didn't plan for this to turn into an improv therapy session with a random stranger. So he should probably just pull the plug.]

That's all. See you around.

[He's not sure what to say next.

I wish it was her instead of me- No, that would accomplish nothing. And, guiltily, Kurt's not sure if he honestly believes that.

But he doesn't want to leave on a business tone. This guy must be really hurting...]

Take care, man.

If ever you need anything else, I'm here.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[ ... ]

You're a good person.

[Yu generally prefers to keep the focus on other people's problems; the idea of talking about his own to a complete stranger is something he's not totally comfortable with. But now he's already done it.]

[He feels kind of bad for wondering if Kurt was just saying that to be polite.]

[If he did mean it, though, well. He really is a good person.]
