All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

Didn't expect to hear that coming from you.

[Gosh, how are they supposed to be asshole bros if they're being nice!!!]

Yeah. You and Yuizaki did pretty good.

[Or well. Whoever the fuck Hiyono was??]

[godinsolitude]

Couldn't have done it without you.

[Wow excuse he's not ungrateful????]

[irrationalities]

That so?

I take it that what I left came in handy then.

[Aren't you glad he coded a message into Hamlet passages...]

[godinsolitude]

It did. I guess I was wrong after all-- it was a very good read.

[look at him complimenting your taste in books!!]

[irrationalities]

Yeah? I'm glad someone thinks that.

[It's said kind of dismissively actually?? Well.]

So, you gonna tell me what's up with you now that this is all over?

[godinsolitude]

Hm.... well--

[Honestly, he didn't want to. But at the same time.... Mahiro did keep his secret. He owed him something, for that.

He might not have made it this far if it wasn't for that.]

Would 'I'm apparently a clone' suffice for your answer?

[Because that's totally an explanation, right.]

[irrationalities]

That's an absurd answer.

[They don't have weird clones in his world!!! Gosh!! He's almost tempted to call bullshit on Ayumu but at the same time, everything here has been irrational anyways - might as well see if there's any truth to it before just dismissing it outright.]

So what, do all clones come packaged with health problems like yours?

[godinsolitude]

I was born in 80s. That I'm alive at all is a miracle enough.

[A shrug.]

I only just learned about it, so I wasn't quite prepared to deal with the reality, I suppose. You keeping my secret helped keep me alive, so I owe you, really.

[irrationalities]

So you only feel indebted now, huh? Must be convenient to admit when I'm not asking you for anything.

[Despite the words, they're not sharp. To him, it's just a statement of fact and nothing more. ...Well no. Maybe there's a hint of amusement there, actually. And in the end, he did get the gun back, so.]
