I don’t believe it’s entirely sunk in yet.

There are still moments when I’m about to contact him, to ask a question, and I have to stop myself. Or when I expect him to show up, late at night. Or annoying Hiromu and Youko (and me, but he always meant well).

There are also times that I research what little we know of hyperspace, in case there’s some sliver of a chance we can save him. I’ve had no luck so far, but J looks so smug (I know, he’s a robot, but he’ll say, “I, Beet J Stag, am secretly smug” that makes me wonder…) that I keep trying.

But— and sometimes this is the only thing that keeps me going— is that I know sempai wouldn’t want me to be sad. He’d want me to finally live my dream. At least in that way, I can make him happy. Maybe even proud.

… Well, that’s enough sadness for now, I think. For anyone interested, I’m quite enjoying my new job! :) Youko’s being a little stubborn concerning which college she wants to go to, but we’ll figure it out eventually. I miss sempai, more than anything, but we’re happy.

I’m happy.

(ooc: yes, hello, anon, sorry it took me awhile to respond to this— and letting the blog die in general— grad school ate my life, to the point where I still have yet to finish the series, although I’m clearly spoiled. =P Go-Busters is pretty much done with, so I doubt there’ll be many asks, if any, but it is summer, so I’ll be around! And yes, J’s smugness is a nod to Matsumoto’s in character farewell note. =P)

(OOC- Hey, as you may have noticed, the blog has been pretty dead lately. Sorry for that, and I’m really sorry for taking so long to get to asks! I’m at the very end of my school semester, so things are extra frantic right now. I haven’t even had a chance to watch the last two eps of Go-Busters yet. :/ Feel free to send asks, of course, but it might take a while, sorry!)

Only rumors, although considering how many heroes seem to stop by around here, I wouldn’t be surprised if we ran into them both!

;_; At least EMC pays me in sweets.

And asking if Hiromu made Nick cry is like asking if water is wet…. -_-

—Youko

Hmm. J, do you know where sempai is currently?

(I know that Jin’s body is in hyperspace. I also know that his avatar is raiding Kurorin’s fridge. —J)

I… why does he even need to?!

(I was told by Jin that it’s the principle of the thing, and that if he can’t have candy bars when he feels like, neither can Kurorin. —J)

:/

—Ryuuji

Very well, actually. Nick does everything for me. Finally, he’s useful. :]

—Hiromu

…;_;

—Nick

Why do you think I am a cat. :|

And yes, it is. Nick is typing this for me right now, but I think my arm will be better by Sunday morning. Next Sunday morning at the latest.

—Hiromu

It’s just…

Each time, he tells me that he has learned his lesson.

And he’s really sincere each time.

—Hiromu

(Yes, I kept falling for his crocodile tears as well will into my adolescence… and my adulthood. :/ —Ryuuji)

Oh, well, pretty good, anon-chan, but obv. in need of some TLC. :( If you ask me, he’s nerding it up re: Li-Oh too much even by my standards, and it’s my job to be a nerd!!! Oh, well. I will just have to seduce him to relax, not that I esp. mind, lol. Let’s just hope there are no more moats to drown in. :/

—Masato

lol no, but should I, anon-chan.

You’d be surprised by how many MMA fighters have chickens as their theme~
