so. back home, we figured out a way to travel between alternate universes.

we really just managed to go to a world just like our own but different. like, i was a guy sort of different? or people i know lived different lives and also were no longer adult men but teenage girls sort of different.

but i don't see why we can't travel to the worlds of some of the people here! i mean, how different would it be? if we could find someway to meet each other again after all this is over...I'd really like to be able to do that! i don't know if there might be anything that'd make it easier? i don't know much about this topic so if anyone has any idea of how to make it easier for me to find everyone i've become friends with here i'd be happy to hear it!

anyway, what do you think your alternate selves would be like? my guy self is an ikemen but he's so dumb looking...and rude too! why can't alternate me be a gentleman?

[That's a version of yourself you're talking about Kaoru...]

[ It's an optimistic way of thinking.

Perhaps a few months ago, before this place, Anthy would have written it off as naive.

Even now, she thinks it's a little naive.

But she understands, to some degree– and she might even share some of these sentiments. ]

Chuchu is glad you liked his message
You really do say some interesting things sometimes, Kaoru-san
You're very open about yourself and your experiences
I'm sure that sort of thing gets you into trouble sometimes, but I hope you don't change that aspect of your personality in this universe or any other one.

it has gotten me into trouble before, but i definitely don't plan to stop.

the person who raised me the last six years is someone who gets into trouble helping people he doesn't know after all. and i want to be an adult like him.

i see
that makes sense
for better or for worse i suppose we are all shaped by the people who raised us, at least to some degree

[ for worse, in the cases she'd witnessed
but it seems kaoru has nothing but positive things to say about her guardian, and that is perhaps the most surprising thing of all ]

you are quite different from many of the people i've known in my lifetime
and i suppose this explains why
do you ever feel yourself straying from this principles? now that he's no longer here with you?

[Just don't ask her about all the guardians they had before Minamoto. She has pretty much nothing positive to say about them.

But saying she's different and citing Minamoto as the reason why...it really did hurt to hear.]

i think it's not just his principles anymore.

i know what it's like to pick up ideas from the people around me. i've done that before. and there's a time where my choices were based on whether or not he'd approve.

but the lessons i learned from minamoto....they're things i believe myself. and the things he does that i don't agree with are mistakes i want to avoid making myself.

i want to become an adult like him. someone who is responsible and kind and saves others. but i think i want to do it my way.
