You didn’t wake up.

I hoped that was because you were relieved that the wounds on your neck were gone and you weren’t just oversleeping.

I spent my time calling the Professor and setting things up.

There was far too much I had to do related to my memories.

So very much.

I discussed it with the Professor and then hung up.

Yes, I had to do something.

But I could only keep doing something for so long.

Someone had tried to erase all of his worries. I had agreed to help him with that like he wanted, but I would only help him so far.

I didn’t know how far that was, but I felt like I would worry someone else if I helped out too much.

There was one person who had definitely trusted me, but I had already fulfilled his worries.

I had accepted so much from him, including a lot I had to hide and a lot I would have to do something about.

That would only end once someone else trusted me and needed my power.

Even if I lost my memories and even if my past self and future self lost sight of my current self, my power would never leave me.

Just like you while you slept there.

“Okay.”

I stood up from the floor next to the bed.

I made sure not to wake you while I patted Daitarou’s head and told him I would be back soon.

Then again, the Professor had said whatever he was going to do would take some time. Would you be awake by the time I got back? Having you wake to Daitarou’s kiss sounded more like something from a fairy tale and it was a very Tokyo thing to happen.

Just before I left the room, I looked back.

Daitarou nodded from where he sat next to you.

“Your name?”

I nodded back, but didn’t answer the question.

The day would come when we could call each other by our names.

This is effectively his final memory.
