I have to teach him rules if he's going to make it. We have a lot of them, now.

Yeesh. How's he supposed to keep them straight? . . . What kind of rules?

By repeating them.

They're all practical stuff. Don't go alone. Stay quiet. Check for exits. And always save one bullet.

For what?

Himself. Or me. Whichever.

[Some time later, their paths cross.]

How are you feeling? It's a good thing Virgo was around.

I'd already healed up the worst of it, but... Yeah. I'm grateful. To them and to Hope.

[ his tickets!!! ]

[He nods.]

Don't forget about Kazunari.

I thought this would happen when I didn't see you guys in the morning, but we'll have to ensure that we're better prepared for the next time.

Right. Kazunari too. [ she smiles! the deadzos are so nice.

and then it kind of. falters after a second as she pauses to consider something. ]

... So you weren't there with us.

[They're nice, yes. And Clementine's expression is entirely understandable.]

No, I wasn't.

[ weird! ]

Well. To us, you were.

The excursions at school liked to use familiar faces, too. Were they different for you?

We had those, too. People from home, people from here.

. . . What's going on in your dimension?

... I fixed it.

Fixed what?

The walkers. In my world, the dead come back. As monsters.

Or, they used to, until a couple weeks ago.

And you fixed that by yourself? You're impressive, all right.

Then was it that strange to see me? It sounds like the places you went were inspired by my recent memories.

Believe me, I'd love to take the credit.

But it was just because my team came in first in the last place like this.

First . . . ? So you're saying that your prize for winning something was a wish?

Then your memories suck.

No offense.

Yeah. So I wished away the monsters.

Haha. You don't mince words, do you?

Don't worry. I know they're not pleasant memories, which means we don't have to talk about them.

It's not like I mind. [ but she respects that he might not want to. ]

Talking about it isn't worse than living it.
