for hiro.

[covenantal]

[ He wouldn't quite understand what was going on here if he didn't think to follow Hiro's gaze. And he can't quite, considering the other boy is looking above his head, but when he realizes where exactly Hiro must be looking, the pieces fall into place. His title. What he'd just said. A person you care about. And the way Hiro's own expression changed as he put the pieces together.

Watching Hiro figure it out was rather startlingly like watching Naoto deduce the logic of a case. He had the somewhat bizarre urge to laugh.

Still, it was more than he would have wanted to reveal to someone he didn't know. Yu sighs a little through his nose and inclines his chin slightly in what could barely be called a nod.

A lie, huh. ]

Weird stuff?

[zerotohiro]

Uh huh. Weird stuff, traumatizing stuff, embarrassing stuff...take your pick, they all happened last time inside ViViD. People swear that it's not as bad when it's not glitching,but I haven't had a chance to try it out since the colony flooded not long after that. [He shrugs, still eyeing Yu's title. He's unaware that his own "Never Gonna Let You Down" is floating above his head. Even if he were, maybe he wouldn't care.

(He'd care. Damnit, CERES.)]

At least this was a little better than the hospital and the murder mystery.

[covenantal]

[ Ping. ]

Murder mystery? Was there a murder?

[zerotohiro]

[Of course that's what you focus, you weirdo. Hiro actually seems a little more annoyed than perturbed though, going as far as to roll his eyes.]

A fake one. They made it look real but if you got close enough the bodies would yell at you to go bother someone else. Anyway in the simulation you could choose to go the justice route or the truth route. I don't really know what happened in the justice route because I headed for the truth. That just booted us into a new ViViD level that was this huge maze and there were trap doors and angry aliens and all sorts of weird stuff. It was one of the more easily solved mysteries in Cerealia, but we couldn't get out of the game until it was solved.

[A beat.] …people do die here though. They usually come back in a couple of days.

[covenantal]

[ Justice or the truth.... that's a hell of a choice. Yu would respond to that if not for the other thing that Hiro says. About people coming back from the dead.

That gets him to snap his jaw shut from when he'd opened it to reply, his eyes widening slightly. ]

What?

[ You can practically see the gears whirring in his head. ]

But how? How can you ... because we're code?

[ It's the only explanation he can think of. You can't reverse death. You just can't. ]

[zerotohiro]

[A shrug.] That's the only thing I can figure. We're code so...we don't really age and we don't really die. They just take us back when our code errors, fix it, and spit us back out. That's why sometimes people can be brought into Cerealia without their memories. It's like they do a total reset of our code to purify it or whatever.

Or at least that's what somebody told me when I asked why I don't remember anything. [It definitely bothers him, to say the least.] Everything can be traced back to "we're code." But all codes can be overwritten. A couple of us in the colony are looking for answers for that reason. It's going about as well as you'd think, but...we have other angles to look at.

[covenantal]

Other angles?

[ Yu pauses for a beat, watching Hiro thoughtfully. ]

Sounds like something I'd like to hear about. And help with, if you need it.

[zerotohiro]

Get a feel for the colony first, dude. It's a lot to take in and then if you really wanna know still I can catch you up to speed. [That is to say he likes you already and he trusts you and your chest monsters, Yu, but it's pretty classified info so far that he can share when they're in the jungle.]

You can always look me up on the CereVice, too. [Hiro did you give him your name. Helllllo.]

[covenantal]

Alright. Fair enough. [ He says it with good humor, at least. He knows when he's beat, and Hiro has a good point. ]

But to look you up, I kind of need a name. [ He holds out a hand to shake. ] Narukami Yu. Just call me Yu. That seems to be the way people do things around here.

[zerotohiro]

[He briefly looks at the hand being offered before shrugging and shaking it. Yu Narukami. He doesn't even seem phased by the way he introduces himself, though there's a small smirk at the comment attached to it.]

Hiro. Uh, Hamada. There's another Hiro here but...[He just sort of makes a vague "it's not important" gesture.] I'm not that hard to get ahold of. Baymax kind of makes sure I always answer my CereVice.

[covenantal]

It was nice meeting you, Hiro. I won't keep you. I've got a friend to find. I'm sure he's around here somewhere. But if you find a guy with a trash can on his head, send him my way, would you?

[ He's joking, but little does he know how true it turned out to be... ]

[zerotohiro]

[It's official. Yu has a weird sense of humor but considering the things he's seen today he wouldn't underestimate the fact that his friend's landed in the garbage somewhere.]

I'll get right on that. Good luck finding him. [Manners, Hiro.] And it was nice meeting you, too. [The words are a little uncertain like he's not used to saying them, but the sincerity's there. There's a short wave and then he gestures to Baymax, crawling up onto the robot's back before Baymax takes flight and they're up, up and away. Bye Yu. Go rescue Yosuke from the trash.]
