[... it... didn't? To be perfectly honest, Joshua had been more or less keeping to himself for those two weeks - understandably, considering both the fact that Sanae was there, and the whole mess with Catherine. He hadn't heard about this. ... so it meant that, in Ryoji's world, there was a way to prevent it from happening.

His world, though... Joshua still isn't too certain. He wants to be optimistic about it, because Shibuya is his life. But optimism isn't his strong suit.]

If there's a way, I'm not sure what it is.

[Suddenly he's shifting a little, not moving away from Ryoji but freeing up his hands to retrieve his PCD. He'd saved this conversation, because it had been important... So he's going to queue it up. Just to refresh his memory, to see if there were any options he couldn't remember.]

[Ryoji couldn't believe it at first, either. But now that he knows that his world could be saved, he's pretty convinced it's also possible in just about any other universe out there as well.]

The current 'me' isn't supposed to know how to save my world, either. So I'm sure you'll learn it at some point, too, once you go back home again.

[The moment Joshua takes his PCD out, it makes Ryoji remember something back from a time when they were at the bridge, talking just like this. And just like last time, he acts on his idea, shifting to get behind Josh and snake his arms around him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder while pulling him closer. It's easier and more comfortable for them both to watch the recording like this.

And this time, Joshua most likely won't ask him what the hell he's doing.]

Mm. It's possible. ... even my attacks wouldn't keep them at bay for long, though.

[He's not entirely sure what to do. Simply being there is threatening enough - with his attacks not being as effective, he'd have no real way of keeping himself from being consumed. It had been the reason behind fleeing, honestly.

The recording begins to play, but suddenly Ryoji is moving behind him, wrapping his arms around him, and-- ... mm. He'd done this, that one time... But this time, Joshua is simply leaning back into Ryoji. There's no argument at all. It's... comfortable. He's grown a lot more used to this sort of thing.

... unfortunately, as the recording plays, Joshua doesn't find anything he hadn't heard before. And even Riku hadn't been sure how the worlds had come back, here...]

... it's happened. It's possible. We're just not sure how.
