[ Daisuke sits down around the dining table and thinks about this for a moment. He avoided giving me absolute nitty gritty details without lying so far. But really, Naegi deserves the truth. So, it's the truth that he shall give.
Doesn't mean that he's not looking down at the table while he explains himself though. ]
I tried my best to come back home. I felt like I was running in circles fr hours... then I ran into the blond guy. I was running away from him and then I met up with my upperclassman. We were both running and then hid for a bit...
[ Okay, Naegi doesn't need to know LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Let's cut to the chase. This whole time while explaining, he hasn't looked at him in the eye. ]
I think I dodged last minute while we were running, because he... wanted to kill me, remember? [ Just saying that sounds surreal. ] So he shot through my shoulder instead.
We ended up finding his house, so we stayed there, but I passed out for two days.
[ the blond guy... it's hard to forget him and naegi's stomach twists the moment daisuke brings him up, knowing that this explanation probably only ends badly and, whatcha know, IT DOES ]
He shot through your shoulder?!
[ way to drop the bombshell on him. god, now naegi wishes he was there with daisuke ]
[ Naegi is startled, which, in turn, makes Daisuke startled by Naegi's reaction. Good thing he left out the bleeding part. ]
Y-Yeah! Of course... He gave me first aid before his friends came in to heal me. I didn't get to see the healing firsthand, but the wound is fine now. My left shoulder is just a bit sore.
[ daisuke doesn't have to mention the bleeding part because naegi already imagines there was a ton of blood. shot = BLOOD EVERYWHERE ]
Is it only sore? Maybe we should still have you see a doctor...
[ that seems pretty serious and naegi doesn't know how good this healing stuff is. he's never seen it in person so he wants to be better safe than sorry ]
Yeah, I only have to worry about the soreness. It probably won't last long...
[ He shifts the collar of the shirt, which is easily done by how big it is, to show Naegi where the supposed wound is. There's a faint scar, but that's about it. Good, considering there was a hole you could see to the other end, but even Daisuke doesn't seem to be aware of that fact. ]
[ even if it's only a faint scar, naegi can't help but grimace when he sees it. being shot sounds painful and he can't imagine how awful this must have been for daisuke ]
I'm glad that your upperclassman was there to help you. [ naegi should find out who it is so he can thank him actually ] ... I'm sorry I wasn't there, though.
It's not like I can summon you out of nowhere, you know? And besides, I don't think I want you to experience the blond stalker again... He's way too creepy and dangerous.
Remember that cat I accidentally brought home from school because I got bags mixed up last year? It was that guy--Akira. I think he goes to the same university as you too.
I know, I know, but I don't want you to deal with him either, especially on your own.
[ maybe he should tag along with daisuke whenever he goes out when it's almost night... he can't do anything to stop the blond stalker but he thinks he'd feel a lot better if daisuke doesn't have to meet with him alone or something ]
Akira... Is he on the app? You said that his friends could heal?
[ he assumes the weird power stuff that he keeps hearing about is only for those on the app and if he is part of retrospec, then it's much easier for naegi to find him and be like yo thanks for taking care of my lil bro ]
Yeah. He's like... a summoner. He summoned this big [ persona ] creature to help defend against the stalker and he got his friends to help out after that. He has the app, so I'm sure you can PM him if you really needed to.
[ Well, that's mostly settled. ]
Also... I had this weird memory. It had the stalker in it. [ y dis ] He hit me full blast with some magic. It wasn't a laser that time. Then I... fell into the ocean.
[ He's kind of afraid to say it, but he wants Naegi's thoughts on it. ]
I got a lot of memories ever since I got the app, but I can't seem to piece them together on a timeline. I've been trying to do that for the last month, but...
[ this... is definitely a concern that naegi can definitely understand daisuke having. from the way that he described the memory, it doesn't sound very good and if a single laser shot is enough to knock out daisuke for two days, what could one full blast do? ]
[ naegi stays quiet for a second as he gathers his thoughts and words ]
... I don't know. With your memory cutting off abruptly like that and without a proper timeline, it's hard to say...
[ he's never been good at lying. he's an open book, with all of his emotions laid out so he has to be truthful that he really doesn't know what to think. ]
... but we shouldn't jump to any conclusions, though. Your stalker clearly has some magic abilities. Maybe you do too.
[ That's fair. To be honest, Daisuke isn't such a good liar either, so he understand Naegi in that aspect. ]
I'm not sure if I had anything like magical abilities, but I can open any physical lock now. Even those really intricate ones. It just... kinda works. It's not magical though.
[ If that explains the house lock earlier. ]
Nothing so far in my memories tell me that I had some kind of magic, but...
[ He frowns a bit. It's as if there's even a small gloomy cloud hanging over his head. ]
[ naegi remembers they once had this conversation, where daisuke was afraid that they might change because of their memories. he also remembers that network post where people were concerned that they might "revert" but he thought that daisuke was mostly normal or just the same in his memories ]
[ This is. The loudest Daisuke has been in years. Maybe the neighbors caught that. His face is still tomato-red and when the adrenaline fades just as fast as it came (ha), he slumps in his chair and he's facedown on the table. ]
[ naegi just... god, what does he even say... he's just so embarrassed for daisuke and he just... reaches out with his left hand to pat him on the shoulder ]
[ Daisuke whines and he's given the pat on the shoulder. This is so embarrassing... He turns his head to the side so that his mouth isn't muffled by the table. ]
That girl screamed at me that I was a pervert in another memory. In another one, she confessed to me that she... liked me...?

I kissed a girl. On her bed.
