[Really, local media? Really?]

Why would anyone write something like that? Who cares about that kind of thing, anyway? Shouldn't the media be focusing on something more important? Something that actually matters?

... and are there really people out there looking at my-- watching me run?

Cut it out.

[empressive]

Ignore it, Akihiko. It's trivial and there's more important matters to deal with.

[Although if someone is spying on him, she'll execute them for it.]

[fools_journey]

Yes. Haven't you ever listened to things people talk about in the hallways at school? Some of them really like stuff like this.

[text]

[risetocaesar]

I was always trying my hardest to ignore them, they never seemed to be talking about anything important.

[risetocaesar]

... why would I do that?

They're going to be waiting for a long time.

[risetocaesar]

Yeah. When I first came here, I thought I would hate it, but it brought us back together. It gave me Shinji back, too. I owe Hinoto-Ri a lot.

[voice]

[risetocaesar]

I've got other things to worry about, anyway.

[Like spending time with his sister, continually trying to mend the rift between himself and Shinjiro, and making sure Mitsuru's all right -- the presence of her father still has her a little bit shaken. When would he have time for a girlfriend?]

... I was thinking about going to check out those baby dolphins.

[PRIORITIES.]

[Blink. Blinkblink.]

Minato, you already texted me about this. ... we go running together.

[risetocaesar]

Maybe I have. I should keep an eye out for you in the mornings.

Your world ended?

[risetocaesar]

I feel like I should buy baggier pants now, but I can't run in those.

[risetocaesar]

I know there's more important things. That's why I don't understand why they would write something like that in the first place.

I guess it bothers me.

[greatseal]

[sometimes she's not sure who's more hopeless... Akihiko, or his fans.]

But they've waited so patiently! Don't you feel a little bad for them, senpai? (︶︹︺)

[risetocaesar]

No. They're being ridiculous, Minako.

He blinks a couple of times with a puzzled expression.

"Hah? Other-me didn't tell you about me?"

He clicks his tongue a few times while shaking his head.

"Man. What am I even thinking?"

[greatseal]

Sometimes it takes drastic measures to get results in these matters.

[And that's something she knows first-hand. Although, Akihiko is a far tougher nut to crack than Shinji...]

Well, don't worry! Someday you'll meet a person so perfect, you'll have noticed them before you even realize it.

[voice]

[themortalhalf]

[Well, that was the weirdest damn subject change he's witnessed in a while.]

...You want to see the dolphins.

[risingshepard]

Or you could choose a different place to start your run.

Sometimes changing places helps with attention.

[empressive]

It's pointless things that teenage girls do and enjoy. From what I know.

[God, why couldn't Yukari be here? She would know what to say.]

Would you like us to find out who is writing it?

[Maybe she can rope the other SEES into it.]

[risetocaesar]

... yeah? You think so?

[He hasn't really thought about that before now.]

[voice]

[risetocaesar]

Yeah. Why not? I bet they're pretty cute.

[text]

[risetocaesar]

My world almost ended, too. What was it that killed yours?

[risetocaesar]

Other... you? What are you talking about?

[Text]

[risetocaesar]

It might mess with my routine a little, but yeah, I was thinking of trying that.

[risetocaesar]

Maybe later on... I know we don't really have time to worry about that right now.

In the long run, I guess it's not important. It's already out there, it can't be taken back, and even if it was, apparently those girls would still be watching my butt.

That's the part I don't like.

[He's not a piece of meat, sob.]

[deathof4thwall]

His head tilts to the side as he considers a few things.

"Uhh...you know, the me that kind of looks like me? And there's the me that's a girl? The two other mes."

Pause.

"They really didn't tell you about me?"
