O-ow... what...?

...

Aniki? Yoko? Where is-

...huh?

[There's a slow shuffling of pages for a long moment, then a sharp gasp. Finally, a quick tapping against the page.]

This... this is Luceti, right? I'm in Luceti?

Am I dreaming again...?

[Ayup, guess who's back already.]

Um, yes, I'm Simon... you look familiar...

I'm Emil. Do you... remember me?

[He's not holding out much hope; Colette and Yuna haven't remembered him at all.]

Oh, yes! That's right, I couldn't remember your name.

You do remember me! I'm glad; Colette and Yuna didn't remember me at all.

The others were surprised, too! But I'm glad. I wouldn't want to forget everyone here.

You sound older than when I saw you last.

Yeah, I am... I'm 14 now.

W-wow, you're not that much younger than I am now. So the Malnosso sent you back for a few years?

Seven years. It's a weird feeling, for sure.

...You're older than me? How old are you?

I'm seventeen now. How old did you think I was?

R-really!? That's Kamina's age! I thought you were a lot younger!

H-he's my age? I really am pathetic...

I don't think you're pathetic! You're just... um. Short.

I'm not that short...

A-and your voice makes you sound young! [FLAIL.]

And Kirimi said I'm pretty for a boy...

[Ohgod what is he supposed to say to that.]

...um...

[Sigh.]

Um... I don't think you look like a girl. If that helps...

Thanks, but I'm used to it by now.

Maybe I should try what Cloud was talking about and grow a beard or something.

[brb brain breaking at the mental image of Emil with a beard.]

...I don't think that's a good idea.

... oh.

[This is going spectacularly bad.]

I-I mean, you shouldn't grow a beard because of other people! You should just do it because you want to! If you don't, you might not like it!

That's exactly the same thing Richter said when... um, nevermind.

Huh?
