I suppose that's a fair point.

That first time I really tested the limits of dreamwalking and got into trouble, Shoyo did that for me, you know. He took me to the hospital.

[terriblepurpose]

He's good that way.

[Present tense, not past. He's gone from here, but he isn't gone, out there in the wild multiplicity of the universe.]

He was always like that with people, but you especially. He never hesitated to help anyone the whole time I knew him.

[hearthebell]

He is.

[Though it aches, L gamely reciprocates the present tense for Shoyo. It's not untrue, he thinks; he's just in the sea.]

He never stopped trying, in all matters. That's probably why connected, the day we first arrived. I'm glad I'm not the only one who will remember him that way.

[terriblepurpose]

You're not.

We'll keep trying for him. It's what he'd want.
