[ He's... not sure he follows. When was there a time when they weren't themselves around each other? There has been, but he hasn't reconciled the two Genjis. ]

[flowlikewater]

[ He sighs, his shoulders drooping a little. ]

I mean, that is the entire point. You do not remember.

[leatherdaddy]

Remember what? There wasn't a single time I wasn't --

[ Myself. Except then it hits him. ]

[flowlikewater]
