Sometimes, the grotesque skies and scenery he experienced out in the shadow world had made him forget just how beautiful the place he had spent all that time protecting truly was. Far from the garish reds and sickening greens that he had spent so much of his time in, practically fighting for his life and the lives of others, the bright blue sky almost felt… Strange. Like reality was the one that hadn’t been right.
On the rare days he hadn’t been working to fight off the seemingly never ending threats to humanity, he was able to touch base with this world. To remind himself that those twisted, shadow-infested hellscapes were nothing more than temporary. This was the world that he had worked himself to the bone to protect, and until his last breath would continue to lay his life on the line to keep it safe. To never allow that to turn into the hellish sights he had been so often subject to.
While he would call up Yosuke to see if he wanted to go out and enjoy some one on one time, considering how little of that they had been able to achieve after Yu had moved out, today he had much different plans. Well… Not entirely different. If all went well, he would probably call up Yosuke to take out for dinner later, but he had some other plans, namely with the younger Hanamura.
…It was a little hypocritical, to call out how often Teddie had been completely cutting himself off as soon as anything was going awry, but… It was something he was trying to work on, just a bit, and if anyone could relate to what the bear had been going through, what he was feeling, it had to be him, right? He hoped he could, at least.
I love you!! We have shows to catch up on now that you’re out of the hospital, okay??? 
Don’t forget!
Anyyyyytime
What’s that supposed to mean?…
But I’ll be back to annoy you before you know it!! MWAH!!!
I see. Uhmm, I'll have to talk to Naoya for a bit, but yes!! I assume you'd rather not come here instead?
Hmmm? Why wouldn't I be?
