I thought I should tell you guys it's possible to unawaken. My "dad" was one of us, but for the past week he hasn't been acting like it. He's back to being convinced I'm really his son and doesn't even see the app anymore. I don't know what happened, but I can't snap him out of it.

Have you seen anyone else just suddenly forget everything again?

My brother...

[Except Kidou had never really been Fubuki's brother, had he? Before coming to live together in Eddan, they'd only ever been friends who shared a team and a goal. Now it's like none of that ever happened. Kidou isn't Kidou anymore. He's Michi. And he doesn't remember Raimon or Teikoku let alone the shadows they'd fought side-by-side to destroy at their school.]

Kidou doesn't remember anything. And I think Sakuma and Genda are the same way, too. They're just Michi, Yoshio, and Christopher now.

[He was alone. Really alone now...]

[Man, that's a lot, and they're all people he knows so he should have noticed sooner. But then, they're all people he had more contact with before awakening than after... It's hard to see it when everyone's pretending to be relatively normal in their daily life.]

Kidou, huh... That's surprising.

[Particularly considering how vocal he'd been on the network, even not that long ago.]

I wonder what happened.

I don't really know. One day he was just...different. I think Luci said something before about it happening. He said hearts folded.

I guess...maybe it was too much.

[But then, why hadn't his own heart given out? Fubuki doesn't understand.

And for that to happen to someone's own father...or the person that was their father. He can't imagine how awkward that must be. Or why it has to be this way for any of them at all in the first place. It's so much harder than it needs to be...]

At least they're safer this way. Right?

Yeah, I guess so.

[He's not sure that being stuck in that fake life is actually better, but it does seem like they won't be in danger the same way.]

Be careful talking about this stuff around them. If they don't remember anymore, they might think something's wrong with you.

Yeah, I know.

It's hard to, anyway.

Mm...it's lonely.

I miss being able to talk to him.

[Kidou had only been one room away...and he always knew what to do. Now Fubuki didn't know who to even turn to.

But he wasn't the only one who felt like that. Sad as it was...there was comfort in knowing he hadn't been the only one to lose someone related to them.]

Um.

If you ever need to just get out of the house...

[He nods slightly at that, not that there's any way of communicating that over text.]

Yeah. Same to you.

[It's a bit odd saying that, considering he barely even knows who Fubuki is, aside from Kidou's "brother", but much as he's inclined to be a loner... They really are in the same boat...]

[They don't know each other, that's true. But they know that they're in the same boat, in more ways than one. Fubuki trusts in that above all else, and it's that trust that lets him be so open.]

I usually run the track after school.

[And whenever else he can get away from the house, to tell the truth. Although lately he's been trying to fit in more time on the soccer field, too.]

If you ever need to find me, that's probably where I'll be.

I'll keep that in mind.
