[ It's so weird to Mafuyu that people keep insisting on playing this game, especially when there's no promised prize like there was with bingo, but alright, whatever, she'll gift him and then pocket her phone so she can head off to Grub Mart, loitering in front of the entrance looking for a face to match with the one on Augustine's Retrospec profile so she knows who he is. ]
[Text --> Action] BTW, I mistaken Mafuyu as a boy... OTL
[As usual, he has some free time away from his work for a while in order to meet up with Mafuyu. Thankfully, his observant nature allows him to locate her by the entrance as he waves at her while he approaches the young woman.]
I take it you're Mafuyu, correct?
it's fine!! she dresses up as a boy sometimes so her icons are everywhere
[ A high schooler, though it's hard to tell with just how excited she is at the prospect of free ice cream. She steps to the side just far enough for the doors to sense her presence and slide open for the two of them, and proceeds to lead the way to the freezer section. ]
[ Strawberry's a good flavor, which Mafuyu likes too, so she scans the freezers for a bit and then pulls out a pack of four popsicles, tossing it to Augustine. ]
Catch!
[ And also pay for the four popsicles, not just one. This way, he gets to eat one too. ]
No. [ Two years left!!! That's two years she refuses to think about her future, because that's two years where she's still in school and still a kid, and doesn't need to worry about things like that. ] Why do you care?
[Okay, not a good way to start a conversation with a high-school student. But...]
Well, I’m starting to wonder about our own future and our memory selves' future. Because the more I recalled more of these memories, the more I wonder what kind of person that my other self was.
Aren't we supposed to be the same people? That's what everybody's saying, and from what I remember, everything my other self did, I can see myself doing that stuff too.
[ Mostly because her canon is a shounen/slice of life/school manga... ]
Well, from what I know on meeting several other users, I can tell that most of us lived different lives than yours. For me, my other self was a professor involving fictional and powerful creatures like my dragon I got from Retrospec.
[ What are these things... After fighting monsters all of August, Mafuyu's gut reaction upon seeing one of these creatures would be to punt it into outer space. ]
Why would you do that...? You were a teacher and a pet store owner too?
It's alright. If you don't want to participate this, I won't force you to do so.
For now, I feel you should live and endure your life for a while. You won't know what kind of things you will miss if you wrap this whole anomaly mess around your head for a while.
Well yeah, that's basically what I'm doing already, but it's not "enduring," it's just... living. Having fun. Eating popsicles, that sort of thing.
[ She doesn't worry about everything that's happening, and doesn't let the stress get to her either, being entirely confident in her ability to power through absolutely anything life throws at her. ]
[ That's the plan all along, so seeing that they've both finished their popsicles, Mafuyu stands and stretches her arms above her head to get ready to leave. ]
Yeah, I'll catch you later! You can buy me popsicles and show me your dragon sometime!

Okay. I'll be there. And before I go...
Trick or treat to you!

What's your favorite flavor popsicle?
no subject
Mostly strawberry. I did have a craving when my neighbor gave my parents a basket of them when I was young.

After finding somewhere to eat, he decides to talk to her while he takes one small bite to his popsicle.]
Mafuyu, right? Are you still studying for high school or college right now?
no subject
High school. I got two more years left. Why?

[He then takes out his journal and shows his drawing of the small creatures that he saw from his memories.]
I also have a memory that also involves my other self giving out one of these creatures to a young girl there.

Can't help you out there. But I don't really think it matters what your other self was like. It doesn't change anything, right?
no subject
[As he said this, he gently bit another piece of his popsicle as he looks up in the sky.]
What matters now is regarding the mystery of Retrospec and this city's anomalies.

[ chomp, chomp, the rest of her popsicle disappears in angry crunching until she's left chewing on the wooden stick. ]
I'm not good for anything but fighting, so I'll leave that up to you guys.
