[feistytrader]

You sound like you had a fun weekend.

[maskreant]

[ ................. ]

should i even explain myself...

[feistytrader]

If it helps, this isn't the weirdest one I've gotten so far.

[maskreant]

[ Ohhhh? ]

what's the weirdest one?

[feistytrader]

Explain yourself first. Then I'll give you all the juicy details.

[maskreant]

there's this boy that keeps appearing in my house and the cats just seem attached to him.

so they were grooming him.

[feistytrader]

What do you mean he keeps appearing? Don't you have a lock?

[Akira... Buddy...]

[maskreant]

even if the doors are locked, he somehow finds a way in. i just don't know.

he's a cute kid though.

[ priorities. ]

[feistytrader]

Take as long as you need. I'll be here all night.

[The great misfires strike again.]

[maskreant]

shouldn't you be sleeping.

[ Silver. ]

[feistytrader]

Tomorrow's a national holiday. I can sleep later.

If all the weird texts keep finding their way to you, that saves me the trouble of telling you about them.

[maskreant]

that's true, but that also means your texts are going elsewhere.

i should probably find this more frustrating, but this is getting funny at this point. are you going on a date?

[feistytrader]

The trick is to avoid texting anything too important. Then you can laugh in peace.

I asked one of my friends to come hang with me at the park. He's had a rough time of it, so I want to make sure he's doing alright.

[maskreant]

true. though some unimportant stuff is still weird out of context.

that's nice of you. after everything, i'm surprised how counseling and therapy businesses haven't been booming.

[feistytrader]

I don't know if enough people are trusting enough for that. I'm sure as hell not.

[maskreant]

sometimes it's worth going out of your comfort zone or else you won't make much progress.

though i probably wouldn't go, personally.

[ Not even because he's distrusting. ]

[feistytrader]

Not a big fan of telling anyone about your vigilante group?

[maskreant]

[ WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS......................... he had like a mini heart attack. ]

yeah. it's also something i think i can handle on my own.

[ ...shit he didn't mean to type it out like that. ]

[feistytrader]

[It's fine right, it didn't misfire, people would believe him if he said he's talking about some anime if it did-]

Stuff like that's best with as few people knowing as possible, right?

[There's a pause- he's making sure he's still sending texts to Akira before continuing.]

Besides, I bet you can handle anything.

[maskreant]

[ nOo, he's just embarrassed to say some stuff after that August text he sent Silver... but he's kind of glad they played it off. Bros being bros. ]

really? thanks. sometimes i don't know and it worries me.

[feistytrader]

Well, when it gets to be too much, that's what friends are for. You've got a superhero team, right? Not a superhero solo. Believe in me who believes in you and all that.

[Silver you piece of shit weeb-]

Although I guess I didn't really do much of that last month. Sorry about that.

[...He feels bad for asking, with how upset Akira was- how upset everyone was, really- but...]

Did everyone really forget we existed? No one else brought that up.

[maskreant]

that's really shounen of you.

do you mind if i just call you?

[ Because he's not comfortable typing about it. ]

[feistytrader]

[...You know, that's a much better idea. Silver doesn't even bother to take the time to respond through text and jumps right into calling him up.]

Don't judge my lifestyle. Anime's a good influence.

[Might as well try to keep things light before going in the deep end.]

[maskreant]

Do you have toast in your mouth as you run to school?

[ But he knows they shouldn't derail for long or else they'll just go on a large tangent. ]

Yeah. It was like none of you existed. If I asked around—even at the places you usually hand around... My coworkers or people that take your orders at your favorite places, they would look at me with confusion. It wasn't only you, but also the rest. I watched as some people started throwing out the last remnants of those that disappeared.

[ And he couldn't convince them that those items belonged there. Despite that, he tries to be okay. Deep breaths. ]

I guess this wouldn't have hit me so hard if it wasn't for a memory.

[feistytrader]

...That sounds about right.

[They didn't lose their apartment, after all. Someone else just... Moved in while they were gone.]

What did you remember?
