['SUP IMPORTS, did you miss this guy? He's giving the communicator a particularly sour expression as he sits out on the front porch of his residence, #14.]

...Well, this sucks.

[He didn't even get to be home an hour, man. At least his injuries are healed again, but jeez........]

Soooo, do I even wanna know what all I missed?

[His tone rather suggests he doesn't; Kotetsu expects something or another has managed to go horribly awry in the month he's been gone--things have been one disaster after another since May.]

Oi Bunny, Judge Petrov, you guys still around? I'm back in #14 if you wanna talk in person or anything.

[......sorry, Ryan, he's only just had five months of memories crammed back into his head and is kind of freaked out about it tbh, he's kind of forgotten about you as the Dude From His Future.]

Uhhh...right. I'm Kotetsu, by the way. If you didn't, ah, know me before. Not that it...doesn't say that on the thing, anyway, but. Y'know. Introductions, n'all...yeah.

[Aaand one awkward silence later:]

...See ya. [Click.]

[There is really so much he could say here, could mention that yeah, he talked to the guy, he read around. He saw his conversations that were public and followed them as long as he could. He gets it more than he cares to admit. So he won't admit it. He won't get into it more than he already has.]

Okay.

[That's it, that's all she wrote.]

[earnedmystripes]

thats all youve gotta say?

[And here, he was gearing up for an argument. He was expecting a lecture on his idealism, or naivete. He was expecting the man to try to convince him just how much people like Lunatic needed to be killed, and to try to convince him in turn that he was wrong. A circular argument that got nowhere fast and left the both of them frustrated.

So when Will just...drops it, doesn't agree or disagree, Kotetsu is a bit at a loss.]

[That's not the sort of lecture Will Graham ever gives. He'll have to go elsewhere for that, especially since Will's not the judge, jury, and executioner unless there is a life at stake and he can't do anything about it other than kill.

...or, possibly, if he's hallucinating, that's a different story.]

I think it should be, so yes.

[earnedmystripes]

...okay, then

[This ended weirdly and he can't help but feel vaguely unsettled by it. But there's nothing else for it, he supposes.]
