It's not my type of music, but I couldn't figure out how to get it off. Now I'm just kinda used to it.

[ It's his ringtone, so he suffers. ]

[rerouter]

... Are you not good with phones?

[bloodread]

[ Looks away. ]

I just use the thing to text.

[rerouter]

Ehehe... Do you want me to show you how?

[bloodread]

[ The heaviest sigh and a grumble later. ]

I guess.

[rerouter]

It's just an offer. You're not obligated by any means.

[bloodread]

[ Holds out his phone!

...it is a cellphone from 1999, so we're in flipphone brick era. ]

[rerouter]

[...]

Oh, gosh. What year is it, Akira?

[bloodread]

1999? Gotta be October by now, almost November.

[rerouter]

Ah...

[A beat.]

Well, a cellphone is still a cellphone. Where are the settings?

[bloodread]

I thought you were gonna do it.

[ ...he might not know where the settings are. ]

[rerouter]

... Oh, gosh. Okay.

[She squints?? And eventually, after a couple of failed attempts, she finds the setting menu. Wowie!]

I can't believe how tiny the screen is...

[bloodread]

Why would you want the screen to be bigger?

[ It's not like he can watch movies or something! ]

[rerouter]

For a lot of things. Give it, hm, 20 years and you'll see what I mean.

[bloodread]

I'm not sure I wanna live that long, but sure.

[ He'd be 38... oof. ]

[rerouter]

[Sir.]

... Do you really mean that?

[bloodread]

Yeah? That seems way too old.

[rerouter]

... I guess it's hard to imagine ourselves in 20 years at our age. We could be totally different people by then.

[bloodread]

Do you know what you want to be doing in twenty years?

[ I am sad I cannot have him make a yolo reference since he is before the time. ]

[rerouter]

[She hums, smiling just a little bit.]

... In an ideal world, I would want a job I'm passionate about and a happy marriage with the person I love.

[Implied, there is no such ideal world.]

[bloodread]

That'd be nice after the shitshow this whole thing has been.

[ He agrees, ideals are for fairy tales. ]

[rerouter]

Right? We totally deserve something nice after everything we've been through.
