Yes. Probably a bit after the new year, since it's a pretty big day, and people will probably want to be with family.

... I take it you're expecting me to come?

It'd be nice.

... If things fix themselves first, then yes, I'll come.

...Fix themselves?

Imagine Shikou.

Now imagine him being seven years younger, and also knowing a minimal amount of Japanese.

...

Sounds kinda cute, really.

... Cute, but a bit of a headache not knowing what he's saying. He keeps giving odd looks at me now, too.

Doesn't help that my translator wants to freeze him.

Hehe... Sounds funny.

I speak English, though, so it should be fine.

... What do you mean by that?

Mean by what?

By you speaking English and it being fine. What do you mean by that?

I mean it'd be fine if you two came.

... Are you sure? I mean it'd be better than keeping him near Sekuta. I wouldn't want him to be retroactively killed or running off or anything, but...

Well, there's not exactly anywhere he can hide here, so I don't see why not.

Just keep him out of Vidya's lab, and he should be fine.

... I'm not really worried about him hiding...

Well, I won't have much trouble finding him, so long as he's here.

... I'm more worried as to how he'll react to being in another dimension.

... Not sure I can say much on that.

I guess you wouldn't be able to.

Like I said, I'll see if it fixes itself first.

Don't hesitate too much.

It sounds like it'd be good for him to get out anyway.

... I guess. I'm just worried about negative reactions. I don't want to break something in the time stream. It's probably already bad enough that I had to tell him he's my brother, so he'd stay with me.

If he hasn't broken down already, with duel spirits solid, and everywhere, then I think an open field out of a door they just came in through wouldn't be so terrible.

If we even get enough people that we'd want to eat outside, in the first place.

Sometimes I wonder if he's just hanging onto a thread. But alright, if you say so. If he goes into shock though from running out and finding himself in a open field, it's on your head.
