[Forty, huh. Maybe he'd need to ask Ren regardless for his own curiosity. Either way, something to file for later, as Akechi tends to do so. But now on to the second page, the one that he does not like at all. In silence he changes it, and points to a few more names.
Makoto Niijima, Haru Okumura. Both dominants as well, no listed names next to them. Goro Akechi. Submissive. Not what he had expected, at the time and partly why he hadn't shown either of them the list.
Finally, highlighted in yellow near the end. Yusuke Kitagawa. Dominant. Listed next to his name. Akira Kurusu. Submissive.]
...It looks like he left while Kurusu was around anyway.
[ It's a nice surprise. He never doubted it, but it feels good to have the confirmation that they would be together no matter the circumstances. Akechi's question the other day, what if he does come back and doesn't remember, is clearly nothing to be worried about. It will work out the way it should, no matter what. ]
I hope I was a good dominant to him.
[ Smiling doesn't count as rubbing it in, does it? ]
[Glad they agree on a few things. He puts both papers away and rests the suitcase on the floor before taking his tea again and finally answering.]
It depends...I'd have to look at other records to see, truth be told. If I had to wager a guess, I don't think so. You all had each other if things went wrong, no?
[Licking each other's wounds and other parts and all that.]
[He finishes drinking his tea and puts the cup down.]
I'm used to being prepared for any occasion. It won't be the first time I'm forced to do things by myself. Truth be told, I also used this list to see which Dominants still do not have a Submissive under their name. Future prospects, if you will.
There is also the possibility of having a Dominant simply for any paper-related reasons, but still living in the Down. I don't believe there are any rules against it, as long as the property is privately-owned and not government-owned.
I don't like to hedge my bets on a single plan. At least, not anymore.
[Aaaaand the mood is ruined. He fumbles with his suitcase before getting up.]
Amamiya told me about it. [His voice drips with annoyance, but he's not attacking him. So that's an improvement?] Trust me, I don't ever want to hear about pancakes for the rest of my life.
[That would be his cue to leave at this point. It was getting much later then when they started.]
Have a good morning. [Pause.] Thank you for the cup of tea.

[ He backs off, staring back at Akechi with a disapproving look. ]
I don't need to know anything like that. Our Ren would have no recollection, anyway.

[He takes a sip of the tea again so he doesn't have to overthink it or get angry.]
Everyone seems to have been gone by the time Ren shows up a month before myself. This only leaves Sakura and Yoshizawa who have never shown up here.
[And technically Morgana, but he would rather not think about that.]
no subject
[ Yeah, let's not think about Morgana. ]
Do you think those other versions of us had a harder time here than we do?

no subject
[Talking. Almost like normal human beings.]
Regardless, we do have three months to prepare, should it come to it.

[ Getting thrown into a new world with entirely different rules and norms can change things. Adapt, or become a target. ]
I know. I just don't want to be too hasty. If the time comes when I need to start looking, I will.

Whatever happened to moving into the cafe?

You might have gotten away with just one plan, if not for your love of breakfast.
