The clatter of geta on wooden floors and Daitou's voice. It sounds like he's talking to himself.]

"Yes! I want some too!"

[The footsteps stop abruptly, and Rain's voice comes in among a burst of static]

"Where are you going?"

"Um, you know, [static] healthy food doesn't taste so good..."
[There's a pause while someone - most likely Daitou - coughs, somewhat wetly. He sounds a little breathless when he speaks again]
"So every once in a while... I want to eat sweet stuff..."

[Rain is having none of this, and that much is clear even with voice alone.]

"Then I'll bring something to your room. You shouldn't be out in the cold air until your fever goes down a little. And your throat doesn't sound good, either."

[Dai, clearly dejected-] "Oh... Well I want to eat, but... How can I say this..." [He sighs softly and then continues.] "...Look. Everyone's over there... It's been so long... I want to be with everyone... You know?"

[There's a long pause as Rain considers this, then the sudden clatter of geta again and Daitou's triumphant cry.]

"Now's my chance!!"
"Running is bad for your health!"
"I'm fine!!"

All right.

[Rain nodded once, satisfied - with the types of medicines this world had, Daitou would most likely be fine. There was something else he was wondering though, and he considered for a moment how best to word it.]

...Does it seem at all... strange to you that I was taking care of you?

[Daitou paused in petting Digit, brow creasing somewhat.]

Only when I really think about it, and compare it to what I know here. The memory itself doesn't feel...false. Just strange in comparison.

Hm. [It felt extremely strange to Rain. Taking care of sick people seemed like one of the last things he should have been doing - he had no medical training that he knew of. There was that first aid course he'd taken shortly after arriving in Edensphere, but it hadn't rung any bells... and if he'd done that kind of work back home, shouldn't it have seemed at least a little bit familiar? There was no denying, however, that it had been his voice in that memory just now.]

I think... it provided more questions than answers. [He hated it when that happened.]

[Daitou nodded, resumed petting the cat]

It seems like that's usually the case around here...some information, and a lot of questions. I guess... all we know for sure is that we had some sort of close relationship, before. Even if it was just a working one.

[Sorry Rain, not his type]

[It was trying, being fed only small morsels of information without any context and attempting to make sense of them. All they could do was piece them together to the best of their ability in the hope that, over time, the bigger picture would emerge. Rain was patient, but that didn't mean he wasn't also frustrated.]

[He hid it well enough though, nodding back calmly.]
It's something.

[It's okay Dai, he knows you may have been spoken for.]

[Quicklog]

It is.

[He gave Rain a glance - a slightly harder one this time]

What I told you... was only for you to know. Don't tell the others.

[For a brief moment, Rain was offended that Daitou thought there might be any chance he'd tell anyone... but he forced the feeling down. However well they may have known each other before, they were still barely acquaintances here. It made sense for the man to take such precautions.]

[He met Daitou's gaze evenly.]
Understood.

[The corners of Daitou's lips quirked upwards in a small grin.]

Thank you, Rain-san.
