[Pro-tip, Akira. Don't laugh when you see Goro naked for the first time, it will probably go poorly for you.
Yusuke's head cranes back a little more to keep Akira fully in view, and ends up having to shift his shoulders around again.]
... [Memories. Yes, he'd heard about them and... experienced them now, he supposes. Or, one at least.]
I've had one. [I see how it is. Using him for memories.] I was drawing in some strange dark place - it looked a little like a supernatural underground station? Whatever I was drawing, I was incredibly focused on it. Luckily there was somebody with me, keeping an eye on me. Perhaps it was somewhere better visited in a group...
[ No one asked for your opinion, Kitagawa?? But what cute roommates they are... Speaking to each other on their bunk beds like this is a sleepover. Even though Yusuke can't see it, he can probably hear Akira kicking his legs up and down as he ponders a little more. He kind of remembers a place that... Looks like a distorted subway, too. ]
Hm. [ It doesn't sound unlike Yusuke at all! ] That's fairly normal, if I think about it? Aside from the supernatural underground station.
[ Now squinting. ]
You did just stop and sketch out monsters in August, after all. I wouldn't put it past you.
[He's only trying to make sure you don't immediately cockblock yourself?? ah. Does Akira have his chin in his hands and his hair in pigtails too? That's cute.]
True, but... [He frowns, just a little.] I drew those monsters because I wanted to be able to remember them, in case I assumed I had experienced a strange fever dream.
This was more... abstract? Like I was seeking a concept, rather than committing something to paper for the sake of memory. My art was not focused on a single being and more on the ambience of the place itself.
[ He can look however you want him to look?? He does kind of reach out with his dangling hand. Let's recreate the ]
Forever in Yusuke's memory, Monster #12.
[ Into an NPC like every other Recolle Citizen. Akira is quiet over it, thinking about Elliot who recently lost his brother to this phenomenon. Is it better to be blind to the truth?
Akira has heard some strange things from people, but this may be one of the tamest only because it's from Yusuke. Anything weird Yusuke says, he would probably find normal. ]
Basically conceptualizing scenery... Of a supernatural area. I wish I could see what you were working on. [ ... ] Were you wearing a strange outfit, too?
Haha, I hope so. Even if it doesn't, it'd be interesting to see! I've never seen a Finnish film before, so I'm a little curious about what they're like.
I can't say I know anything about world cinema, so I couldn't hazard a guess. But cultural education is very important. Perhaps I should be working towards expanding mine.
Yeah! It's good to know about the world! So how about you join us? Akira suggested making Finnish food too, so it'll be a full cultural experience! Well, I've never actually made Finnish food before, but I'm hoping it'll okay?
[ You just look sleepy to him? An attempt was definitely made. Oh, so Yusuke is the one dressed up as a fox. The ends of his lips quirk as he thinks it over... It really fits him. It's Pretentious as Hell. ]
It suits you, I think. Kind of traditional?
[ Akira very well knows, but he decides he should keep it to himself for a little longer. There's a time for everything. ]
