From:

OKAY. TO BE FAIR. HE WALKED UP TO ME ON THE STREET AND SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

From:

GOOD

holy shit he's alive

From:

Uh, I should let you in on the other surprise, then.

He also aged 16 years overnight.

From:

pls type that again. your brain autocorrected it to 'he also aged 16 years overnight'

From:

My brain doesn't have autocorrect.

From:

what the everlovingfuck happened to him? kids don't just suddenly turn 30 overnight

wait. wait. retrospec could do it. they turn people's hair purple and their eyes orange. they could definitely cause someone to age.

From:

I am kicking myself that I should have seen it coming, because remember he got that first mechanical arm and it didn't fit right?

Now everything looks perfect.

From:

There are any number of reasons he could have been in possession of a too-large arm. It could have belonged to someone else. I've gotten things that didn't originally belong to Ryuuzaki.

I mean, have we ever had someone change age before?

[he says, unaware it happened to at least two people during the summer AUing]

From:

Wait, really? I'm pretty sure everything I've got was Togusa's.

And, not that I know of.

From:

I've gotten a photograph back that belonged to one of his partners. It was given to Ryuuzaki to take to the crime lab for analysis.

From:

Whoa.

Uh, guessing you ran it through our lab for analysis, then, just in case?

From:

Honestly, I keep meaning to. But then the last two months happened. And before that summer happened. Will you get after me if I don't do it by the end of this week?

From:

Sure thing. What are friends for? How's your work load in December, usually, anyway?

I know the officers' load picks up. Lots of smaller stuff. And let's not even talk about Black Friday. I might find myself helping out with smaller cases.

From:

Eh, a little. Like you said, it's mostly small stuff. Maybe it's the weather or the holiday season but most stuff tends to dip a bit in the winter.

From:

If it's something that you really want, then, yes. Do it.

But only if you are making the choice. I'll keep reminding you that you don't have to.

Adults make that choice all the time. Since kids have so many fewer choices in the rest of their lives, I worry more that you wouldn't feel like you have the option to say no. But you do.

From:

[There's a pause while Shinji fully digests this. Finally:]

thnx i think that helped alot

From:

You're welcome.

I mean that. Welcome. Text me when you need it, okay?

I know things will get better, but there will also be days it gets bad again.

From:

ok i dont have anything 2 give back unless you want videogame advice or somebody 2 beat the hard levels 4 u

From:

Mmm. Keep being a good influence on my robot, how about that, if you want to do something back?

From:

ez it wants 2 be friends w/ my robot tank but idk if my robot can think

From:

I think the Tachikoma thinks it needs a positive role model to figure that out. It's kind of funny.

From:

if it wants 2 big sibling my robot i dont mind its kinda funny

From:

omg he witnessed a murder as a child. things are starting to make sense.

From:

[Thankfully, Tatsuo has done this enough times and also for once it's not at 3 in the morning, so Togusa knows this has to do with a memory.]

Fuck. Wait, how does that make anything make sense?
