( nano )

[ it's not really like him, but nisaka's willing to attribute it to the oddities of the school, like most everything else. he's not the type to initiate like this, but being cooped up in a crude parody of your high school will definitely do something to a person. cabin-fever seems a blessed alternative, considering what all else could occur.

plus, he can't help but feel a little curious about his sorta-amnesiac not-friend...

so it's in the middle of the night that nano will find his phone vibrating with this simple text: ]

is it true there aren't a lot of girls in your world?

[straight_line]

[He didn't know whether that was true for the general population, not really. There were none in Toshima. But there had been some among the test subjects, of course, and among the researchers. And there was her. He never wanted to think of her, but that didn't stop reminders from occurring too easily.]

Of those I have known, our bond was distorted. Warped beyond ever being straightened, out of the form it should have taken. A form which was always illusory, though I couldn't see it.

[tepidity]

[ ... maybe it was a bad idea to ask after all.

nisaka can't even pretend to have understood any of that, aside from further proof that the world nano comes from is vastly different from his. ]

so there were a few
but you didn't know them like you thought you were supposed to?
what was so warped about it?

[straight_line]

There is no absolute truth. What one experiences may be vastly different from what others intend. Flowers may blossom out of refuse and still be beautiful, but the nature of such a plant has forever degenerated. Every outcome of human greed is corrupt, no matter how it appears on the surface.

[ ...............................

WELP. he tried. ]

you liked to read, huh?

[straight_line]

There are many books here, but few worth reading. They cannot give anything to anyone if they cannot be understood.

[tl;dr "liked" is accurate]

[tepidity]

[ well, nisaka can't argue with that. ]

so what kind of books did you read back home?

[straight_line]

They hold both knowledge and wisdom, even where truth and falsehood interact. Books always remain comfortably the same.
