[... She moves away, but it's only for a second. Tamamo reaches and abruptly digs for something hidden inside her bow, before gently placing it on Junpei's lap, amongst the cookies.
It's a tiny hairpin shaped like a bell, one that rings with a clear, sweet note.]
... I've had history itself turn against me, so I insist on being prepared for the worst.
[...]
So even if you can't find a way now, and this Tamamo no Mae disappears, you may use that to summon me in the future.
[...oh. He doesn't reply immediately, but he does pick up the bell and lets it jingle quietly. He thinks of what she's just given him and what she's said, and while he leans against her he hums in thought.]
...will you still remember me and everything about us if this version of you disappears?
[Spoken firmly, if tinged with melancholy. After all, she's more a projection of the real Tamamo no Mae. A summoning would only summon another version of herself, not unlike the multiple Junpeis in their doomed timelines.
... But--]
Well... technically it shouldn't be possible. Even so, I've heard and seen other Heroic Spirits who swear they remember things they shouldn't, of lives beyond their lore. [A pause, and she finally leans back against him, her head resting on his shoulder] Of people that they have technically never met, but which to be reunited with again.
[A miracle on top of a miracle, is what is required. She shouldn't be telling him this. But her first wish is near impossible to start.
... She supposes there is no shame in adding another to her list]
[He lets his head lean against hers. They can cuddle on the floor like this, it's fine.]
...sounds similar to having access to the field. Deja vu is a form of access to the Morphogenetic Field, too. Even if you don't remember everything, a part of you might be reminded of other timelines. [...],/small> There are a lot of things in a lot of universes that shouldn't be possible. But like I said. In at least one universe, they are.
[Hope can still exist if you know how to play the universe just right.]
Hmmm, does this mean you're going to find our perfect universe then?
[She means it teasingly -- or, no, that's not quite it. Better to make a slight joke of something so dramatic. Trust is no easy thing for her to offer, especially to a human.
... But Junpei already asked for it and she gave him her answer. She won't take it back, either, not for the world.]
Well... I'll look forward to seeing how far you get.
[RIP my HTML. Anyway...he turns to bury his face in her hair for a second.]
Yeah. It's out there, so...I'm not gonna give up. [It's his own answer and a promise to make to her. Her hairpin's cradled in his hand, careful and gentle but he's also not pulling away from her yet either.] Stay with me as long as you can then. That's the only request I have for you right now.
