That must have been something to see. I hope Magpie was happier as a child than he is now.

As to that last one... if we can contact our friends here after we leave, why can't we contact our friends at home, do you think? I take it you learned this from one of the people who left?

[fogbornphantom]

I believe it was a good experience for him overall. It did bring us closer to him, and his child self retained memories of this place and will forge his own path, with a fork in his timeline.

It is rather odd, but if I had to guess, it may be that our presence here and obtaining the specific applications to chat here is all that it takes.

[pheasantboy]

You may be right. It makes as much sense as anything else around us, doesn't it?

What about you? Have you been well? As I said, it is good of you to check on me.

[fogbornphantom]

It's been quite hectic of late.

The aftermath of Magpie and the other Ren reverting to their original ages led to a great deal of emotional strife. When I reached out to that Ren, he reacted poorly, trying to push me away by listing out every little thing he's done wrong as an attempted deterrent. I had to step away, Magpie tried to intervene on my behalf, and may or may not have made things worse, but at least wrung an apology out of him when that Ren reached out to me again.

Then Yoshizawa-san met another version of herself who didn't agree with her view of herself, your rescue transpired, and I am effectively on probation from getting too heavily involved due to my tendency to overexert myself.

[pheasantboy]

Wow. That sounds like a lot.

Does that mean you aren't going to be so fascinated with the ins and outs of my psychology? Which Ren was it, the one who blew up Shinjuku?

[He is not surprised to hear Magpie made things worse.]

[fogbornphantom]

Well, considering you spent so long in an unconscious state, there's at least some cause for concern, but it's not as though I intend to stick you beneath a microscope.

But yes, it was that Ren. My boyfriend's far too likable to cause friction with Magpie. Not that the other Ren isn't likable, but he certainly has far more emotional baggage that I dare not disclose out of respect for his privacy.

[pheasantboy]

[Wait. Wait, waitwait.]

I'm sorry, you said "boyfriend"? He's here?

[fogbornphantom]

He is, yes. And I believe he's intending to throw a party to mingle with other people here, with the promise of Leblanc curry.

[pheasantboy]

This would be Leblanc curry that he made?

I don't want to impose where I'm not welcome.

[fogbornphantom]

I believe Hawk would like to see you again.

Ren is generally amicable with most people. It would take a lot to get under his skin. As for Akira-kun... I can keep him busy, if need be. Though it's been long enough that he may not even hold it against you.

[pheasantboy]

I still feel bad about that. I agree it's better if I just stay away from him.

You know, I thought that Ren was rather nice, once I convinced him the others didn't deserve to be blown limb from limb for being different. I'm sorry to hear he's having a hard time. Perhaps I'll get in touch.

[fogbornphantom]

I doubt he'd mind an apology. I helped him that night, and he's done better since. I'd say a quick hello and apology if you need to wouldn't be the worst thing.

Then you can go find Hawk, who I am certain has a great deal to talk about.

Contacting the other Ren likely wouldn't hurt either.

[pheasantboy]

I thought you weren't supposed to be managing the affairs of others?

You're turning into quite the mother Crow.

[So like how Magpie might have put it.]

[fogbornphantom]

I'm allowed to manage the affairs of the children in my care and consider their best interests.

Hawk misses you, ergo, that is your incentive.

[pheasantboy]

Hawk's a good boy. I won't abandon him.

I'll stop by the party. Thank you.

[fogbornphantom]

That's good to hear. Moth recently returned home, so that's one less playmate for him. At least you would bump the number back up.

[pheasantboy]

You know, I'm still not a vampire child.

[No more than he was the first time this came up. But...]

But seriously, Moth is gone? [Why does that thought unnerve him?]

[fogbornphantom]

He is, yes. He left a short while ago.

A few others as well, including the vampire Akira.

I wish them the best in their respective worlds.
