“What’s your name?” Kazuma asks. It’s the first thing he prompts every fan he brings on stage, and yet it’s not at all the same. This time he needs to know. It’s the most important thing in the universe that he finds out!

A shadow flickers across his soulmate’s face. One that fades as he watches Kazuma warily, staring into his eyes like he’s trying to uncover secrets there.

“Yusuke,” he croaks. “It’s Yusuke.”

“Yusuke,” Kazuma repeats, and it’s like he’s spoken the name a thousand times, like he’s known this fact all along despite being clueless mere moments ago. Yusuke. Yeah, Yusuke sounds right. It slots into place perfectly.

“This is crazy! I can’t believe we’re all in high school now!” Taiju exclaims, bouncing on his feet. “It’s good to see you here,” Tsukasa says. “Have you had the chance to explore much of the school?” “Uh, yeah!” Taiju says. “And it’s totally huge! I’m gonna get lost on the way to my classes for like a month!” “You’ll learn the right way quicker than you think,” Yuzuriha assures him. “And if you do get lost, you have Mr. Strongest Primate to act as your guide,” Senku says. Tsukasa groans. “Don’t.” Senku raises his hands in feigned innocence, and while Tsukasa does not shove him in retaliation, the thought that doing so would make him stumble like a newborn duckling is a decent consolation.
