[ So- we all won, went home, and resumed our lives.

And then some jackass figured out how to make portals to the other worlds. ]

[There's a hint of... something in her expression, but it changes fairly quickly.]

Faust? Who is that?

[She looks up at him, curious.]

Did you bring someone back with you? Is he like Teddie?

[tatsumi_textiles]

[ It's like something happens, a switch is flipped, because where before there had been sullen bitterness- not lapis, not his naoto but that isn't fair, it's not naoto's fault she wasn't there and didn't remember- there's only a bright flash of joy as he starts talking about Faust ]

Kinda- he was our patron. When alla the shit went down, I brought him back with me, insteada leavin' him in his realm alone. Think mosta the teams took their's home with'em.

[She blinks a couple times, then sighs.]

Kanji-kun, you are going to have to start from the beginning. Realm? Teams? Patron? What are you even talking about?

[tatsumi_textiles]

[ How dare she ruin his happy

He falters, then clears his throat, coughing sheepishly ]

Right, uh. That other world- it had a buncha teams, and alla the teams had a patron- basically a god, and they made sure we had food'nd healed us'nd shit.

[shiroganeheir]

And what did these teams do?

[Other than scar him all to hell, it seems.]

I... it does not seem like a pleasant place.

[tatsumi_textiles]

It weren't bad. Tiamat was great! We just, uh- played against th' other teams in games.

[ Games that led to scars like his ]

[shiroganeheir]

And let me guess. The other teams were not kind to you.

[It's at least somewhat obvious from the scars.]

The games do not sound very fun.

[tatsumi_textiles]

What? Nah, th' other teams were great.

[ He looks more confused and annoyed than anything, hunkering in on himself defensively ]

Weren't their fault shit happened.
