[Soon after, Hifumi is at the front of the resorts to see Jakurai. He was far more anxious about this meeting than he anticipated; it seems it happened again in this world, with everyone being on a different page with different memories. Still, no matter what, Jakurai always had a soothing presence, so this meeting could calm his nerves regardless of what happens in conversation.]
I remember Lunatia, if... if that’s what you mean...
[Hifumi can imagine there’s endless number of worlds out there that he will never know about, so anyone can be from anywhere, including Jakurai. And it didn’t matter what world he came from, because that wouldn’t necessarily change their friendship. Even so, he hoped for this anyway.]
[Because if Hifumi remembers Lunatia, then he isn't crazy.]
That is what I mean. You make four in this immediate circle that remember. Me, you, Megumi, and Amemura-kun. Mad Trigger Crew doesn't seem to remember any of it.
Ahh!! I’m so glad to hear you remember that place, Sensei! And I’m happy to hear Megumi is here too! I didn’t know that! That’s great!
[There’s a big sigh of relief!!]
I haven’t talked to Doppo about this, but my gut feeling is that he definitely doesn’t know it... not with how he’s still thinking about his old boss from our world... and I can’t talk to him about this because I don’t want him to be sad about not remembering stuff we did together... It’s not a big deal though because I’m happy to have him at all, especially after I had gone a long time without him at some point.
[Hifumi says he’s happy just to have him, but the expression on his face definitely isn’t a happy one.]
I can’t help but feel bad... hiding this from him. But what choice do I have?
I will ease your mind of the subject, though I know it will not be the answer you seek.
[Jakurai hates being the bearer of bad news, but, sometimes you have to be in these situations.]
Doppo-kun doesn't remember Lunatia, he doesn't remember any of the time spent there. So that leads me to believe this place was selective on who received what memories from where. For Doppo-kun and Mad Trigger Crew...they haven't any idea of what we went through there. But you and I, as well as Amemura-kun and Megumi. We are all stuck remembering places of times past.
[He is touched by Jakurai’s gesture, and gives him a smile.]
It’s okay! The most important thing in the world is just having Doppo by my side, even if our memories aren’t the same... We’ll just have to make bunches of new memories!
He feels pretty terrible for not remembering. I've spoken with him at length about the matter. But I couldn't tell you one way or the other why some of us have remained aware of our past adventures.
I don't think it will ever make sense that this kind of thing can happen... but I'm no stranger to it. I've gone through both you and Doppo coming and going without memories before.
[Hifumi puts a hand on his chin, thoughtful look at he gets serious about this a moment... He really is being serious even if. his. logic doesn't seem that way.]
Maybe there's a Bermuda Triangle, but in space! Or black holes sucking people up! Or vortexes!

Re: text ➡ action
He raises a hand in greeting, happy to see Hifumi either way this meeting goes.]
Is there something on your mind?
no subject
[Yelling is totally necessary. How else is one supposed to express excitement for a good doctor friend?!]
Boy am I glad to see you! Everything's gotten all weird but you and Doppo are here so that makes things a little less weird I guess!
no subject
[Jakurai is hesitant, but also relieved. But as he is a man of getting straight to the point...]
Do you have memories of another world, Hifumi-kun? Besides home.
no subject
I remember Lunatia, if... if that’s what you mean...

[Hifumi wipes sweat off his forehead. There wasn’t really any, but it’s the gesture he was going for because of this situation.]
Well! Thanks for that! I don’t know if I would have been able to keep that hidden from him without getting all weird about it!
no subject
I apologize, Hifumi-kun.
