"What are those people doing?" Kyriun asked me as he struggled to recover from the bright light of the scroll. He stood up and made his way to the crowd, finally stopping when he saw two mecha suits flying into the air and smashing each other.
"Ehe, I can predict your reactions by now," I said to him as I stood up myself. "Awesome, eh?"
"Wait, is the pilot of the blue one a girl?!" He squinted in the air. "And the... oddly colored one too?!"
"Blue Tears is the name of the blue one and it's pilot is Cecilia Alcott. The 'oddly colored' one is piloted by Houki Shinonono--"
"WAY!" He sang. He grinned at me. "Houki Shinonono way! Nonono way I am living without you--"
I glared at him. "Seriously. I can die from the corny aura of your pun. Huh."
"Killjoy," he pouted. He turned back to the sky and watched them fight, with Houki winning again. She landed down on the ground and smirked at Cecilia. "Ichika is mine. I won."
"Who's itchy--"
I elbowed Kyriun to shut him up and listened to the conversation-- I mean, ahem-- argument-that's-about-to-ensue between Houki and Cecilia.
"No. I want a rematch," Cecilia growled. Ooh. Defensiveee.
"No. I won."
"No."
"No!"
"NO!!!"
"Way!" shouted Kyriun. He caught Houki's attention first. He didn't realize this and continued singing. "NonononowayI'mlivingwithouuuutyouuuuuu~"
"Who is that?" she asked Cecilia. The blonde girl shook her shoulders and said, "Maybe another guy who attends this school?" She saw me and pointed. "Do you know this guy?"
Okay, let's play like a troll here. "No. I don't know him," I answered. Hehe.
"Riku! What is that for?!"
"He knows your name," Houki interjected. No, Houki. No. Do not ruin my trip.
"I don't know his."
"RIKUUUUU~" He gave me a pout and looked at me with puppy eyes.
"OKAY FINE, I KNOW YOU!" I turned to the two. "But I don't take the responsibility of dealing with him."

Later on that day, I realized that I was getting more and more used to my environment. Just when I got used to it, the scroll indicated that I have a few more days.
And then those flashes keep on coming. They don't make sense, but they keep on coming. Memories of Kyriun, to be exact.
Why?
Don't I know him enough? Have I lost a few memories?
"Ri~ku~" he called as he sat beside me on the grass.
"What?"
"What if I told you that I would never leave your side?"
I would never leave your side, Riku. That was the flash again.
I put my uand over my forehead and stifled a soft answer. "Suit yourself."
"Okay. This would be fun."
We'd be together forever. We'd have fun until we get old.
"What are these memories?" I groaned.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Are you okay?"
Are you okay? Are you hurt?! Riku...! No! Don't close your eyes! You said we'd be... together.
"Yes."
