The beach is quiet. The beach is nice. The ocean is one of the only sounds that’s still the same in every version of reality, fabricated or not. Easy to duplicate, they suppose.

Yuu-kun lays in the sand with their eyes closed, listening. The white noise calms them, lulling them further and further away from the world with the deep red sky and the feelings too big for them to handle right now. This was easier. Laying still in the light of the gradually setting sun and focusing on the ocean instead of anything else.

They wonder what Junko would say if she found them asleep on the beach. Probably kick them.

Their brow furrows and they huff out their nose. They aren’t supposed to think about that. They’re not supposed to think about her at all. Hinata said so. They still aren’t sure how to feel about his name change, but they’re smarter than to challenge the most talented person ever. 

… With one exception, of course. Keiko counts as the most talented person, too. But she was still a kid. Just like them. So it was a little different. They knew Keiko better than they knew Hinata, so she was easier to be around. 

As if she read their mind somehow, when they open their eyes they find her staring down at them, motionless. They hadn’t heard her approach, but that’s normal for her. They don’t startle, simply raising an eyebrow up at her. “Hey. Need something?”

Nights are hard for him.

During the day, an island full of people all needing something, an endless list of chores that needed completing, and countless long, boring meetings with the Future Foundation awaited him. It was stressful, but it kept him busy, never time to be alone in the quiet with his thoughts. But as the day wound down, as everyone shuffled into their respective cottages to rest, and he finished the last of the chores he was physically capable of doing that day, he found himself with the time to reflect, and he wasn’t big on that.

He could go to sleep, but the endless, tormenting amount of information swimming in his skull made that a more difficult task for him than putting together a couch without an instruction manual. Okay, that would be a difficult task for literally anyone else but him, but the point still stands. It’s not easy, so instead he stands in the kitchen, washing dishes, setting a timer on the rice cookers so it would be ready by the time Hanamura got up, and doing any other miscellaneous tasks he could think up.

Normally, he would do things like this until he was too exhausted to stand up straight. It wasn’t good for him, and he was well aware of that, but at the same time he found it ridiculously difficult to stop. He knew he needed change, but it was hard for him to achieve. He had never handled it well and now it was really getting to him.

At this rate, there was no doubt he would end up collapsing at some point, whether from exhaustion or some illness he was bound to get eventually. But until then, he could at least keep everyone here happy and well taken care of. 

Speaking of everyone, he’s a bit startled when the kitchen door opens. Multicolored eyes flicker up to watch as it slides shut. Just barely, he can make out the top of a child’s head, the hair color giving her away.

Yukiko cherishes all of their memories with Junko. Life is so dull and boring without her. Nobody's around to explain the world to them anymore, so they're left to make up their own mind about things.

If they had to erase a memory, though... they would probably pick the winter when they were homeless. They got a nasty case of hypothermia and Junko was forced to take them to the hospital, dropping them off there. That's how they ended up in foster care.

Yuu-kun struggles to pick a memory they like. They've started questioning their memories of Junko, whether or not she treated them correctly. They would probably pick something recent, like a nap on the beach or a board game they won.

They're very much against the idea of erasing any of their memories. Likely because the last time that happened, they went through a killing game. However, if they absolutely had to choose, they would probably choose something like getting scratched up by Cat Ryoko.

Hinata cherishes quite a few of his memories. Having a large chunk of his life taken from him has made him really appreciate the things he still has. The fleeting memories of his mother's warmth or the smell of cigarette smoke on his father's clothes are particularly comforting to him.
