Right. [ a nod ] At the very least, I'll do everything in my power to make sure you all can.

[ ... In the cases of himself and his boyfriends, things are a bit more complicated. Goro has to go back to help with Shido, and Akira will be trying to go back with him. Going home is... not something he can jump into just yet. Kurama likely needs to see his mom. Both boyfriends have their jobs as Composers to worry about. Akira isn't sure when he'll be seeing... "home"(?) again. Where even is home for him, anymore...

Originally, it became wherever his friends were that gave him more of a feeling of home, than the house with his parents. Now, it's... his boyfriends and his friends... ]

As crazy as it might sound, things have been like a really bad sci-fi movie, these past few months. Put simply, I'm not the same Akira Kurusu you knew, back home.

[ A deep breath... ]

It's a really long story, but the short version is I ended up in a twisted game, alongside a Goro Akechi who's from a different timeline than me. After the game, a lot of us wound up with new powers that we could use to help fight for our worlds. All because there's this insane asshole going around the multiverse, and spreading monsters across different worlds.

[ Seriously? Fuck that guy. ]

We're - Goro, Kurama, and I are working to become powerful enough to keep the planets safe and to defeat him.

[ BUT ALSO..... ]

You're either from a timeline where Akira Kurusu never entered the Reaper's Game, or you're from just before I did.
