Forty-Sixth Spool of Thread - [Accidental Voice/Video]

[The start of the feed is rather abrupt as the journal hits the floor of a familiar clothing shop, and at first the voices are muffled until the journal gets settled.

For anyone who happens to be looking at the moment, they might see a pink-haired girl bruising the pride of one certain new feather. For you see, Shiki is currently using her plush cat, Mr. Mew, as a weapon of mass destruction as she holds the cat by the arm and continues smacking Neku with it.]

--any idea how freaked out I was that you just disappeared like that?! Come on, Neku! You have to quit doing this to me!

W-what the hell?! Shiki! I don't even know what you're talking about!

...wait...what? [And it's just as abrupt that she stops hitting him. That would have been good to know.] ...you've gotta be kidding me! [And then suddenly the camera blacks out as the belly of Mr. Mew lands right on top of Shiki's journal.]

I can't believe...those jerks!

... I dunno. How close were you guys back home?

...did I tell you about how the Game works, Sokka? About the entry fees and everything?

You told me that you two worked together. Or something like that. And I know what your entry fee was.

Neku was my partner for the first week. We both won, but only one of us could go on so he let me go. That meant that he had to play another round of the Game, and for that he needed another entry fee. The first time the most important thing was his memories...but the second time his entry fee was me.

... how could you be his entry fee?

I guess I was that important to him. I don't know how to explain these things.

Well I meant more in a physical sense. How were you his fee?

...not sure. I guess I just got pulled back into the game instead of leaving. I was out for almost two weeks after Neku and I won, and I ended up waking up in the river.

[Shaking his head now.]

This gets more confusing every time you talk about it.

Tell me about it. I'm still confused by it and I lived through it. Maybe someday I can ask the Composer, but I doubt I'll get answers.

[Right. Well this is all off topic anyway.]

Well. Anyway, so what does that mean for you two?

It means that he'll remember that, but he won't remember that we were dating for two years. So really? It's all up in the air. Again.

[... yeah. He is so not envying her. He's just imagining if that happened to Suki one day.]

... I guess he's younger too.

Back to fifteen as far as I can tell. At least he matches Beat now. It feels really weird, I won't deny that.

I'm sorry Shiki. This place really blows sometimes. [It's like that every single time someone from his world shows up. But never like that.]

The only way this could be worse is if he never remembers. I'm still hoping it'll all come back to him soon...but thanks.

Well if anyone can make him remember, it'll be you. [....] Well. Or the Malnosso. But they cheat.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. You really think so?

Well logically it makes the most sense. You do know him the best.

I--[She's about to argue that that's not really true, considering who else is here, but then again she's the one who spent two years with him. Maybe she really did know him best.] Okay fine, that's true. I just can't get over how weird this whole thing's going to be.

[Well. The age difference alone.... won't get mentioned.]

Hey. If it's meant to be, you guys will work something out. Or something.

You've never had to do this with Suki, have you?

... no, not really. Well. I mean, I was here for almost a year without her. So I'm actually a year older than her now. But that didn't change things, really.

I didn't think so. I was just curious, never mind.

Right... [Awkward pause. And then he remembers something. Which is even more awkward.] This is probably bad timing, but... guess I should let you know that Yue went home. So you don't need to worry about those lessons.
