Okay yeah but my enemy's probably not going to be offering to teach me. [Stop arguing, Junpei. Also god I wish, but no, he's just going and fishing out this gun and glancing at it.]
You tell me. This is--[He doesn't get a chance to say what it is because the gun crumbles in his hand and there's a barrier up, suddenly shoving Kagachi into a wall of one of Junpei's memories up to 12:40:46. Have fun, cw for a depiction of some violence against women in theory.]
[...hah. Haaaaaaah. He still has his hand formed in a loose grip around an invisible gun, plus the knife in his hand and he's going to stare into the abyss quietly.]
That wasn't what it looked like. [Other than he definitely beat the shit out of Carlos so like. That's fine. At least he wasn't bullshitting when he said he could punch!!]
[He makes a face.] He didn't exactly tell us what he was doing before he pulled that trick. Guess he wanted to make it look as realistic as possible.
...we were being watched while we were in the bomb shelter. So his brilliant idea included pulling us out of sight of the cameras and making it look like a fight.
Yes and no. We managed to stop our bracelets from injecting us and erasing our memories, but we found out it didn't matter when the guy watching us knew what we were doing the entire time and let us think we were getting away with it.
[The barrier begins to break down and Junpei's giving Kagachi a semi-bewildered look. It's not that he doesn't understand (except he sort of doesn't) and for a moment he's stewing over his options.]
[maybe?? he's lost track of who he's mentioned it to.]
The gist of it is that my past self had a... complicated life, and his internal conflict caused his soul to split into two after his death. I was born as half a soul.
You did, yeah. [But that...] Seems complicated. And you, as yourself, had to find the other half of your soul and weren't having much luck, I'm guessing? I didn't know souls could split like that.

[So. That sucked.]

Sounds frustrating.

The barrier's still up though and he approaches with the knife, poking at it to see if it'll shatter.] Why's this thing still up?
no subject
[and the answer is because it's time for round two (cw: suicide imagery), up to 1:23:30. fun.]

...that wasn't the only timeline, was it?

Well, I don't necessarily understand all of it, but no, it wasn't.

Am I allowed to ask about it, or do you wanna skip it and go back to me trying not to stab myself?

All in all, it never affected me. It was a different story for the Night Devil, though.
