Yeah? You can ask me anything.

S-somebody told me about how he had a really bad... echo one time. I--

He said it was better he had it around somebody else. A-and somebody was sayin' that--I had a heads up on what--what could happen to you.

D-does--does it freak you out or anything? I don't want to scare you, I just--I don't want to see you get hurt.

... Honestly? I can't even imagine it. That's not to say I think I'll never get hurt or anything, but it's not easy to imagine something like that.

I guess I can't say I'm not nervous, though.

D-d-do you want me to stay away, then? I don't want you to be nervous! I really don't--!

No. I'd like it if you talked to me. I'll be happy if I had a friend to talk to through all this.

I'm not that great of a friend. Or a person, either.

We haven't even started. Are you free sometime this week?

I-I don't have a lot to do, ever, and I... don't have classes on Wednesday.

Hmm. I get out of class early on Wednesday. Do you want to go get lunch?

If--If you really think it's a good idea, I--[A pause and the tension eases from his voice a little.] ... I think it'd be nice...

[Oh good. She smiles on her end.] Okay. Then Wednesday, at twelve-thirty by the flag pole of the main parking lot sound good?

Yeah. I--

I'll be there. [He's going to be there damnit >|]

Great!

Oh, do you need my phone number? You can always contact me on here, too, but I can give you my regular number too.

Oh! It's um. It's--[number]. I normally have it on me so it's--it's a safe bet.

And mine is [number]! I turn it down during class and work, but if you leave me a text or a message I'll respond as soon as I can.

... You're sayin' all the stuff I should be... [He laughs a little, weakly.]

You gotta move fast, Jacuzzi.

[She giggles.]

Aah, I'm so glad! I was wondering how long I'd have to wait until I could talk to you.

I-I hope you're not gonna be too disappointed....

[He can't imagine any way meeting Nice is going to go well.]

Nonsense! Our past selves were friends, weren't they? I'm sure we'll get along, too.

Just--just because they were one way doesn't mean we gotta be--!

I mean... I have some really weird memories of us. Some bad ones, too... N-not because you did anything bad to me or anything! We just... got into a lot of trouble.

Well, considering that it feels like my old self might have been a bomber or something... I mean, I don't remember, but I feel her excitement about bombs every time I even think of it.

Trouble is understandable don't you think?

It's... not just that.

We killed people. She killed people protecting him. [He sounds absurdly clear saying that as opposed to everything else he's said.]

... Pretty dangerous people, weren't they?

It... might be a little more complicated. I don't understand everything yet...

But we can learn together, yeah? We're friends now.
