"Conception"... [Weird. And freaky. People can just destroy or rebuild the world the way they want? Could that happen anywhere else, or is Naoki's world just special?

It's scary...]

[Action, March 15] fggjfds akai lololol

[ex_restoring6]

Mm. Basically, after that, the people who were left all started to come up with their own Reasons. That is, what they wanted the world to be.

[He pauses.] But I was told I couldn't come up with my own, but none of the others' Reasons were good.

[Action, March 15] I couldn't resist

[fyulong]

Because you were- ...like that? [He's not even really sure what to call it. "Demon" means a lot of different things to him, and he could never define a friend as one.] So you broke the rules or something?

[Action, March 15] I legit died fhgf

[ex_restoring6]

[Naoki nods.] I was changed after the Conception. [He looks out thoughtfully.] I did. I thought I had to at least try, you know? [And he's infinitely glad he did.]

[Action, March 15] /mission accomplished

[fyulong]

So it turned out it was worth it. That's awesome! You're amazingly strong, Naoki!

[It's really impressive. He'd have liked to make some kind of impact on the world in his life, too. Maybe as a dragon he'll have a better chance of that.]

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[Naoki blinks-- And then he ducks his head, sheepish.]

Nah, I mean... Well... [He is amazingly strong but pffff acknowledging it.] I'm just glad my gamble turned out.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

I'm glad, too. It must've been hard, to make a decision like that.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Yeah. [...] A lot of things happened that maybe I could've...prevented if I went with one of the others' Reasons, but.

[He shakes his head.] I couldn't.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

What does that mean, anyway? "Reasons", I mean. You mentioned that before.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

They're like...the vision someone has of the world they want to create. There were three of them.

[He frowns.] The Reason of Shijima was one. It was focusing on a world where everyone was the same. Where nobody'd have their own identity, or individuality.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

...And somebody wanted that kind of world? Isn't that... kind of boring?

[Really boring, actually. You can't have friends when no one is an individual...]

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Yeah, someone did. [A quick, half-rueful smile.] And it is.

[Naoki leans back slightly, hands resting on the edge of the fountain to either side of him.] The other Reasons weren't much better than that.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

[Wow. That's... seriously bad.]

So you fixed the world... is it safe now? Or will someone try to destroy it again?

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

It's possible someone might, but... I don't think so. In the first place, it was pretty lucky Hikawa even found and figured out how to bring about the Conception.

[He wonders that, if in the world he recreated, he'd brought it back without that scripture.] If someone tries again, though, I'll just have to stop them. Yeah?

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Right! Of course. I hope you don't have to, though. You deserve a peaceful life, especially after something like that.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Thanks, Mikage. [He grins, warmly.] Being here again, though, it's kind of like having a chance to rest. Even if it's not always peaceful.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Sometimes a little excitement is good, right? Otherwise we'd be so peaceful that we'd get lazy.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Right. We'd all just end up laying around.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Just as long as we never underestimate the value of relaxation!

[He's had plenty of lazy days and enjoyed every one of them.]

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Oh yeah, man. Relaxation is very important.

[And Naoki doesn't take it for granted, oh no.]

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Speaking of excitement though, are you gonna get back in the SOS Brigade?

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Ah-- [Here Naoki's expression seems to brighten up a few notches.] Yep!

I asked Haruhi if I could, yesterday, and looks like there's still room for me.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Hey, that's great! It just wasn't the same without you, man.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[He rubs the back of his neck, touched.] Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting to meetings and everything again.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Honestly, I'm glad for kind of selfish reasons, too. Since you went home and Kurt left I haven't felt that close to anyone in the Brigade for a while.
