[LUKE??????? HELLO. This is so fucking funny. Sakyou's just been vibing on the ground with all these dead people memorials, but he'll carefully push himself back onto his feet when Luke appears.
[HE DOESN'T EVEN WAIT HE JUST TURNS AND STARTS SETTING OFF IN SOME RANDOM DIRECTION god. Whoever healed this stupid man, please just kill him instead next time.]
[Surprised by just how fast fucking Sakyou TAKES OFF, he has to hurry to catch up, but falls into place easily.
I think the funniest thing in the world is to slap a memshare unprompted straight on someone immediately, so that is exactly what happens to poor Sakyou who has just learned to walk well again.
WELL. Honestly Sakyou's absolutely just fucking falling over because his legs are still awful, this is Monday and he's only just adjusting to the new hell that is memshare week. For extra comedic timing it probably happens around the same moment Riku fucking faceplants.
Give him a second, he's just sort of HERE ON HIS KNEES, startled over the fact that there were so many familiar things in that one tiny little blip of a foreign memory.]
When he comes back, he just... stands there a blinks, both hands raised, palms up.] What...? [There's no way he's ever been in a void of darkness in his life--
Oh. OH!
Startled into focusing, he leaps to try to help Sakyou.]
[STAND, BINCH, except now he's just thinking about the memory and frowning deeply... It's fine. He shakes his head a little, not answering the question but just clearing his thoughts a bit, and just. Lets this punk help him back up.]
Ah... I didn't-- [...Well. It's not Tuesday yet, but he's already heard some things at this point about the dorm heads that make him hesitate for a second.] ...I didn't mean to intrude.
[No, you shut the hell up. Luke is helping Sakyou up anyway. He at least... won't hover all over him, though? He helps him up, makes sure he's steady, and then lets him go.]
It's... Don't worry about it. I don't...
[How the fck does he explain something he doesn't understand?]
I don't know what all that was about. Something... Lalli. When I was with him, I saw something... like I was him.
Sakyou will not beat Luke up, though. He'll just stand there, giving him a bit of a concerned look...]
...Yes. It's been happening today, in the same way other things happened the past two weeks. The bite compulsion and such. [...] That wasn't mine, though.
...I can understand that. [Thanks to his slore (sword lore), some of his memories are that way, too!] Like something you've seen before, but through a strange lens, yes? Half-remembered, like the few minutes when you've just woken up.
Anyway god Sakyou's going to snap everyone in two if they haven't explained CYOAs to Luke yet.]
Yes - among other things, many of us experienced a complete rearrangement of memory while away on those "trips". Some believed themselves to be serial killers, I thought that I was a terrorist...
[And now here these fuckin dudes are thinking they're just normal ass college students perhaps.]
[People talking to Luke about stuff happening?? Haha..........
Luckily,]
Oh, I--yeah. Bradley said... [He trails off. Bradley... him... dormie. :pensive:] Bradley said where he went, he... The place made him believe everything was true. That he belonged there.
Sweet Bradley, though... At least two immortals on that squad have like 1k years of practice in repression and could thus discuss their Terrible Serial Killer Experience with others.]
...Yes; that's something that's possible wherever we go and here. At least two of us have had our way of thinking altered without being taken anywhere else.
Very funny that he managed to make sweet Luke feel bad in his attempts at trying to not make Luke feel bad, though. He just shakes his head.]
I can understand it. It's an unpleasant thing to consider, to say the least.
[You know what else is an unpleasant thing to consider?? This memory that gently whops Luke upside the head. the mod accounts are in the filters im not friending riku darksubverted rikuson just to add him to my filters dammit]
The memory jolts him a little more than his own. There is a terribly familiar grip around his heart he can't place. A little seed of madness that he remembers too well.
The air rolls with a thick cloud of fog as he gasps when it ends. He stumbles, but thankfully doesn't go down.]
[YOU ASKED FOR THE DEMON SWORD AND YOU GOT THE DEMON SWORD DAMN.
Anyway, Sakyou's moving forward reflexively a moment or two after the memory fades, even though that's still too slow to have actually caught this poor lad if he did fall. His hands hover awkwardly between them, remaining there for a few seconds as he gathers his words.]
--I... [...] You shouldn't have had to see that - I'm sorry.

He's just
giving him a quiet look for a second...]
...You really are a worrier.
no subject
He glances at the memorials and frowns.]
I don't know what you're talking about.
no subject
[Very funny! What a funny lad. It's fine though, beyond that light tease he won't bother pressing any further.]
Where would you like to walk?
no subject
Let's just walk and see where we end up.
no subject
Sakyou just nods a bit at that, though.]
Alright. Shall we?

He gets a memory (until about 37:14).
Slaps Luke and Sakyou. You can fit SO MUCH self-loathing and angst in this bad boy.]

It... [Well, he can't be like IT WASN'T? since clearly, that bastard looked exactly like him.] I don't know what any of that meant.
It was like... a dream.
no subject

...
[He frowns into the middle distance at the explanation because it makes more sense than he wants to admit.]
Yeah, like that. Was... that me?
no subject
...I think it's very possible that it was, yes. [...] You've been told of what happens to those of us who leave on Thursdays, correct?
no subject
But that... I've never... [He is SO CONFUSED.] "What happens"...?
no subject

[He sounds... slightly defensive, but also unsure. There is a hint of fearful uncertainty there.
(roxas voice, which is very funny)]
I'm me, and no one else.
no subject
In any case, his expression softens a little and he just nods.]
We don't have to talk about it, then. Especially if it's upsetting to you.
[Because he knows firsthand how pointless that is while ass deep in being isekai'd. He isn't here to cause undue stress on purpose, either.]
no subject
The fact that Sakyou doesn't argue or keep pressing surprises him into feeling bad about how he snapped like a hurt dog.]
It's fine. I'm not upset. Just... frustrated.
no subject
Very funny that he managed to make sweet Luke feel bad in his attempts at trying to not make Luke feel bad, though. He just shakes his head.]
