I've seen many things in my life that I deemed impossible as a child, but I never imagined a change like this. I haven't been here long, only a couple hours or so, and I already feel as if I've made a great change in my life. It seems that many of you have adjusted, and that makes me optimistic. But ... I worry.

That's probably not the best way to introduce myself, is it? My name is Takayanagi Masataka. I've just arrived.

I'm sorry for not being here for you, Aya-chan.

She just posted below me, and I'm certain that's her.

How has she been able to withstand this for so long? It appears that Nagi isn't here, which means he's back there waiting for me—and for her. He asked me to take that duty upon myself, and then I end up here and find that I cannot do that. He said that even my brother fears my potential, but what potential will I have while here? I will have to continue trying to realize my true self, however. I will do it for you, Aya, and for you, Nagi. And for you, Taichou, until I can come and face the feat that has been set out before me.

I said I would make a place for myself. This is just another difficulty I shall have to face until I can do that. Nagi said it's better that I don't have that place, but in making a new place, I'll still allow myself to stand outside and make it better.

I'm doing it mostly for you, Aya. I'll always be there for you, and I regret that I could not keep that vow for the time you were here.

Ah, it's the younger brother.

[becomingademon.livejournal.com]

I am Mitsuomi's brother, but I'd prefer if you called me something else.

[hirohiko]

All right. I'll try to remember, Takayanagi-kun.

[becomingademon.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Kabane-san, I was just telling Senpai about you...

[hirohiko]

And I seem to have made a bad impression on him already...

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It's okay, I don't think that's something you would know.

Don't worry, Senpai's very understanding! He won't beat you up, Kabane-san.

[hirohiko]

I suppose I'm glad of that?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Ah... but then again...

[hirohiko]

Hm?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking that sometimes... Senpai is very calm, and then all of a sudden, he beats someone up without changing his expression. I think you might want to watch out, Kabane-san. It might be like poof! And Senpai's standing there calmly, and then he beats you up.

[hirohiko]

I'd really rather not be pointlessly attacked, if that's all right...

[becomingademon.livejournal.com]

I don't pointlessly attack people ...

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Ah... maybe it wasn't a very good joke.

[hirohiko]

Ah, a joke...?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Hee, Senpai is one of the kindest people I know. You don't have to worry.

[hirohiko]

Ah, all right then!

I don't take well to being referred to as just his brother. I'm sorry.

[hirohiko]

I'm very sorry. I've only ever met Mitsuomi-san, and I wanted to make certain you were the same Takayanagi.

[becomingademon.livejournal.com]

That's all right. I've gone a long way to prove myself, and I'm not against trying to prove myself to you, as well. But I don't see a reason for it, and Aya-chan says she wants to get to know you better.

I think I should get to know you better, too.

[hirohiko]

"Prove yourself?" Oh, I'm sorry, I really haven't got any interest in having anything proven to me, thanks very much,

Really?

[becomingademon.livejournal.com]

She probably makes it sound like I intend to attack you the first time I see you. I assure you that I'm not like that, Kabane.

I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know one of Aya-chan's friends, even if we are in opposition in our own world. There's no more war, and the differences between us don't matter anymore.

[hirohiko]

We've come from the same world, so you'll understand why I take comments like hers at face value, I'm sure. All right, Takayanagi-kun.

Ah, well, Natsume-san and I are going to get waffles some time; if you'd like to, I suppose you could come as well.

[becomingademon.livejournal.com]

That's understandable. Sometimes I feel as if many people fight because it's their first instinct. I've seen it so many times already.

I'd like that.

[hirohiko]

And until just recently we had been on opposite sides of a fight... I wouldn't have blamed you, had you attacked me, honestly.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Ah, you make it seem like I can't make jokes at all! Did I take it too far?

[hirohiko]

Ah, no, I just can't tell from your face when it's over these computers is all! I'm sorry, I know what it's like when people don't react well to your jokes...
