[ He knew that she would shy away from magic and other things, but it's still a little surprising to hear how much she hates the supernatural. Yuuri can't help but wonder what she thinks of him in general, considering that a big part of him is the fact that he's part demon. Then again, she wouldn't have dated him in the first place if she hated that part of him.
He shakes those thoughts out of his head, nodding. ]
[ She takes several deep breaths; in and out and then in again. She needs to focus her thoughts and reel in her emotions in so that she's calmer. Even though she knew the truth about him, it wasn't something that would deter her from having those sorts of feelings.
No, she didn't judge people for what they were. And she knew that Yuuri was a kind person.
Interlacing her fingers together, Inaba finally manages to pull herself together and figure out the words she wants to say. That she can say. ]
Back at home, I kind of... how do I say it? Someone experimented on me and a few of my friends utilizing various supernatural phenomena.
[ Yuuri waits for her to speak, and can tell that she's nervous before she does. In all honesty, he has no idea what to expect. He certainly doesn't expect her to say she's been experimented on. ]
What? Experimented on? [ He's a little angry that someone would do that to people and it shows in his expression as he frowns. ] What did they do?
It's crazy, but unfortunately true... I ended up learning what it's like to use the bathroom in a man's body.
[ Her voice seems to be serious, which shows that she isn't lying. Not to mention that there's a something there that practically screams why as the temperature sinks, but it's more gloomy than icy. ]
Well, the specifics of it were that basically my soul, along with the soul of four others I knew would be moved around to different bodies at random intervals. We wouldn't know when we'd be in another person's body or how long, so we had to pretend that everything was fine and even acted out the lives of the person whose body we ended up in. All of it was for this -- this thing's entertainment. Or maybe experiment would be a better word. I was essentially a guinea pig. Of course, the body swapping wasn't the only thing I had to deal with, but you get the gist of it, right?
[ She shakes her head in response. ] No, not of our own volition. It only stopped when it wanted to stop. And honestly, I don't know if I'll somehow wind up going home and that bastard will just drop another one on us. You actually saw a little bit of one of the experiments once... in a memory that I didn't remember. It was the one where I was a child. It was part of that.
Anyway, there's parts of what happened that I have gaps, although I know what happened. But that's it. Whether it's over or not doesn't really matter here, does it? I plan on figuring out everything when I get back, but... I just wanted to get that off my chest. Sorry for being so selfish like always, Yuuri.
[ She smiles, but it's one that's a little bitter. ] Um, so... ah, did you want to talk about something else?
It's okay, really. I'm... just glad you told me. [ After all, Yuuri knows Inaba likes to keep things to herself, and although he knew there was more going on in her world than she let on ever since he saw that one memory he wanted to wait until Inaba was ready to tell him. And he's glad she finally did. ]
Ah, well, I guess I didn't really think about what I wanted to talk about when I came up to you. [ Namely because there's a lot they need to talk about and he doesn't know where to start. ]
[ She can't help but laugh a little bit, almost poking fun at him. ] You don't just come up to someone not knowing what to talk about! What if I didn't want to talk to begin with, huh?!
[ She can't help but laugh a little bit at him, just a little bit. ]
Well then, why didn't you, idiot? [ Inaba's feeling a little more confident, smiling at him. ] Geez... don't answer that, by the way, I already know the answer.
[ She can't help but blink several times as she finally looks up, right at him. That's something that she didn't expect to come out of him right at this very moment. ]
Wait, what do you mean 'everything'? How much did you tell him?
Right? It makes me wonder sometimes... [ And she says this, threading her fingers together, staring at the ground. ] If we'll ever get to go home properly.
Me too. [ He shifts a little, looking up at the sky.
He definitely wants to go home, because he has so much to do but at the same time... ]
...Do you know if we remember everything when we go back? [ Although Yuuri should know that by now, he's been too afraid to look, afraid of what he'd find out. ]
[ The cold air tells Yuuri that Inaba is definitely worried about it, and he understands. His gaze shifts toward the ground. ]
...So am I. We can't even choose when we go back either. [ It makes him wonder why they're here in the first place, but he's not going to say that to Inaba, not when he's sure she's probably already had that thought before. ]

no subject
[ She might as well start from the beginning. ]
I got to know what it's like to be a guy.

[ Even in his own world, stuff like that seems impossible. ]

Yeah, I do. [ As hard as it is to believe. ] What ended up happening? Did you make the experiments stop?

Thanks for telling me everything, by the way. [ He hoped that she would eventually, but he wasn't always sure that she actually would. ]
no subject
[ Her cheeks color a little bit and she finds herself looking away awkwardly. ]
Ah, um... you're welcome.
[ Now she doesn't know what else to say. ]
no subject
So... I told Wolfram about everything.
no subject
[ She can't help but blink several times as she finally looks up, right at him. That's something that she didn't expect to come out of him right at this very moment. ]
Wait, what do you mean 'everything'? How much did you tell him?
no subject
[ And that he wasn't sure if they still were now but he's not exactly going to bring that up just yet. ]
To be honest, I don't really remember everything I told him. [ Since Wolfram was kind of threatening him with a sword but it's fine!! ]
no subject
[ The fact that he doesn't remember everything is definitely concerning and she can't help but sigh. ]
And it's almost December too, isn't it?
no subject
[ Their house is safe and that's what matters.
He smiles, a little sadly. ]
Yeah, it is. The last year went by really fast, huh?
no subject
[ But she's still a little concerned about him, just a bit. ] It really did. I honestly can't believe it's been that long though, ahaha.

...So am I. We can't even choose when we go back either. [ It makes him wonder why they're here in the first place, but he's not going to say that to Inaba, not when he's sure she's probably already had that thought before. ]
