Huh...

[Kaito has just seen today's date somewhere on the street - like a newspaper rack. He looks a bit baffled on the realization that,]

We've been here for a year today.

[He means Mekaito, whom he's absently talking to, but it applies to [Bad username or site: leftsearching title=KAITO @ livejournal.com] too.]

A lot has changed in a year, hasn't it? First we met another "me," then that bus showed up... things have gotten stranger and stranger around here since then, and I've also learned a lot from the people who were drawn here.

[he pauses thoughtfully, staring into space]

It's already been a whole year. Should I ... should I be ready to go back?

[he nods]

I'll do everything I can.

[but he still feels like he doesn't have all of the answers. He'll just have to be patient]

[tankhanded]

_{[Nods. So will she.]}

[futureforbirds]

Ah -

[it occurs to him that this is their first meeting, and she doesn't seem to be a duplicate of anyone else. It's too easy to get used to, knowing everyone's name before you meet them.]

Excuse me, but what's your name? I'm Kaito.

[tankhanded]

I am Strength. Good to meet you.

[futureforbirds]

You too. That's a cool name.

[tankhanded]

I suppose it is unnecessary to explain what it refers to.

[futureforbirds]

Your... arms?

[tankhanded]

_{[Sigh. So much for rhetoricals]}

...yes. My hands.

[abovethewall]

They're cool too! Right?

[Mekaito looks over to his master, who laughs sheepishly but nods. Satisfied, he turns back to Strength]

How did you get them?

[tankhanded]

They were always there. I cannot remember not having them. Sometimes they are necessary, sometimes they are impractical. But they have lasted as long as I have. I will abide.
