[So after horrible memory bombs, heart games, body switch shenanigans, and trauma.]

[Dusk is sensibly only taking one memory right now.]

[It's a new brand of ridiculous. Because Dusk seems to be in 20th century Japan in a cat cafe. He's meeting his sister and it's all very normal until SUDDEN MURDER MYSTERY HAPPENS. This is less than surprising For Some Reason. Dusk thinks it's a curse. There is some laughing at misfortune and teen detectives. He's as suspect, he helps the case, gets accused, definitely threatened a man without threatening him. Then Faito shows up last minute, the little sister.]

[And there is Dusk watching, actually out and about for people to poke for whatever reason.]

[Staring at the screen.]

[Because that is definitely a new brand of WTF. How many brands does he have in his life.]

...

[ Well. That. Certainly was ... a thing ]

Where do I even start ...

[THAT WAS DEFINITELY]

[A THING]

It's disturbing how it seemed none of us were surprised at the sudden murder.

[ That was so many things. ]

You, me, and Kaito not being surprised is one thing! [ They all know what they've been through. ] Everyone else ... is my city really that notorious?

We weren't even in your city if you had to take such a long train.

Maybe your world is cursed.

Oh! Right, yeah, sorry. I was distracted by all of the - [ waves a hand. ]

It sounded like ... those accents, they were Osakan, I think.

[ That makes her laugh, though, somewhere between amused, exasperated, and just tired. ]

My world could be a whole lot worse.

[ Look at YOURS. ]

[He nods.] It was Osakan. I guess that's why I could recognize it. Had to catalogue Kaito clone number three apparently.

True. I mean, if it had been my world, there would have at least been one explosion for things going wrong.

Eh? But ... there wasn't anyone there who looked like Kaito.

[ same face, what same face? she sees no same face. ]

At least one, bare minimum. Probably more. [ Shakes her head. ] But it does suit your luck.

That Hattori guy. Put on some pale foundation and mess up his hair and unless you got real close, he could easily pretend to be Kaito.

Depends on if Caboose is around.

My luck is stupid. [Sighs.]

Ehh, that guy? No he couldn't, they don't look anything like each other ...

On the bright side, now we know that we didn't lose contact after Kyriakos

Maybe you're just used to the subtle differences of Kaito's face, but I'm telling you if we got pictures of them side by side for other people, they'd agree with me.

....that is true.

Which is really the question of how we do that. Dimensional travel? I'm not sure I'd be willing to give up my world forever....

Oh, come on, you're exaggerating. [ They're so clearly and obviously different people, please. ]

... ... Although ... if you're really that convinced that they look so similar, you could get pictures of them from the Sparks shop. You could make it into a game! That's one of your bonds, right? Encouraging play?

[ Rubs her chin. ]

Your world sounds like a place you should take vacations from, but I couldn't see you leaving it forever. You have people and places you care about too much.

....I could do that.

Maybe when I remember what Kudo looks like. Show whose one of them and mix it all up and see if people can figure it out after.

Hattori would need some photoshop for his skin, but otherwise....

Yeah. I could leave the crazy, but I couldn't leave them.

You know, for just one memory, that was kind of a... lot.

Yeah.

....well, at least that's a checkmark for 'figure out how to get between dimensions.'

So you understand how you ended up in another world?

That I don't know.

But Faito and I think we met in Kyriakos. An interdimensional hub, where mimics were fought, Faito got bodyswapped, and there was some powerful person who could run things that seemed like trials maybe? Anyway, it was a question of what happened after. Like....did we just say good-bye?

Doesn't seem like the case. And it sounded like I was visiting from Kaito's comment, and I certainly wouldn't give up my friends.

The precise how though....that's a mystery. I was pretty tired, maybe it was a long trip?

That's seems like the most important piece here. How you managed to dimension-hop without having to go back to your world.

I mean, I may have had to go back to my world. It sounded more like an outing Faito and I planned, like a visit.

You were there when I took the time travel memory, right?

Well, yeah, eventually. But that you can visit at all is kind of a big deal. Even with your crazy life.

Maybe. It's easy to get your stuff jumbled up sometimes.

It is! Trust me, I know it is. It means there is a way to travel at all after... [Gestures around them.]

Caboose was beating up a guy that was accused of breaking time, space, and pizza.

But Caboose talked about....Church. Church being dead and as I listened, I wasn't sure that was true.

I was stuck between thinking it was and wasn't. And thinking Church being alive seemed less likely, with how messed up the timelines were.

I think maybe I was questioning if Kyriakos really happened.

I think I remember the beating. And maybe something about you questioning that other place. How long ago was it?

I don't know exactly.

Judging by Faito's age, it could have only been a few years, but other than that....

Wrong time reference. I meant how long since you got that memory.

It was Day 42. So a little over twenty days. For the time memory. Kyriakos memories were cropping up after that and it was a few that made it hard to call. It was Faito who remembered the place first.
