Hey. Uh. It's Keith.

Something just happened to me, and I don't know if it's happened to anyone else.

I went home. I went home for months. But I'm also not sure I even really left? I've been gone... quiznak, a few days here? Maybe? It's confusing but I swear it's real. I remember all of it.

And more than that, I've got the injuries to back it up. You can't fake a fighter crash injuries under battle wounds just like that. And older scars I didn't have before I...

[He's fine. But the impressively colorful display of bruises and minor cuts that cover most of his body is pretty distinct at the moment, and not something he thinks could come from much besides exactly what he remembers happening. It all matches up perfectly.]

Anyway. I woke up in the woods. I don't remember going out there, but I must have. And someone or something stole my shoes, so that's... also awesome.

Has this happened to anyone else? What the hell is going on?

Oh.

Turns out I'm alive after all, by the way, if anyone was wondering. Back home, I mean.

And I have a mother.

[It has been... a really really weird day. He needs a hug. And to beat the crap out of something, but there's no training deck here so that's unfortunate.]

There's always weird things going on in the woods...

[WHAT ELSE IS NEW, KEITH...]

But finding a way home through the woods is a new level of weird.

[lonered]

You know I used to like forests. And nature.

Yeah, it definitely is. And the weirder thing is, I don't think I went to the woods on purpose. I don't think I was trying to get home. At least, I definitely don't remember it.

And if whoever brought us here to begin with sent me home... why do it? And why do it just to bring me back?

[messianic]

You know, this might be optimistic but... could it have been to give you some peace of mind? You posted here publicly about worrying about whether or not you were dead or alive.

Now... you know, right?

[lonered]

That... seems way too kind. But maybe.

But now I just have more questions anyway. At least thinking I was dead wasn't this confusing.

[He found his mother, Minato; he doesn't know what to even think about that.]

[messianic]

Well, it's a possibility, right? I don't see the harm in hoping for the best until we're proven otherwise.

... Sorry things just ended up more confusing though. It sort of seems like you've got that sort of life.

[A confusing life.]

[lonered]

Hoping for the best, huh? I'll give that a try.

[Well. Minato isn't wrong. There's a lot of confusion .]

Yeah. Sort of feels that way sometimes. Now more than ever.

[messianic]

[Poor Keith.]

I'll ask you about it when I come over.

[Instead of making Keith talk about it publicly on the forum.]

[lonered]

Okay. That's probably easier than typing.
