I saw you in a dream once. I know I sound crazy!
Did you see Masked G in a dream?
Did you see Masked G in a dream?
[--ah. So... it is reciprocal. He saw her memories and she saw his. He swallows against a lump in his throat. She seems way too young to have to had seen any of his memories.]
No, you... don't sound crazy. I mean, the same happened to me. That's how I know about Masked G.
Do you mind if I asked you what you dreamed about me?

[Meruru frowns momentarily and tries her best to respond to that question.]
I saw you talking to some people and you looked scared. Hinata, what's the Hope Cultivation Project?
I saw you talking to some people and you looked scared. Hinata, what's the Hope Cultivation Project?
[--ah. She saw... that time..]
Well... this group of people... wanted to try making hope. They wanted to make a person who would be talented at everything, and that person'd be the hope for others.
[After a pause he goes on, softly:] It was a project I volunteered for... but to make room for all the talents, I had to give up things like my personality and memories and dreams. I got them back long after, but I think now that wanting to be a part of it was a mistake.

[Meruru can't even possibly imagine what it's like to give up everything like that. ]
What I saw was something personal to you. I won't tell anyone else what happened.
Everyone makes mistakes. I'm so sorry, Hinata.

...Thanks. I'd appreciate that.
It's not something I'm really trying to keep secret, but... you understand. It's a little tough to talk about.
[As such, it's something... he comes around to in his own time.]

No kidding!
Hinata, can I come see you? It'll be easier for us to talk face to face!

Eh...
[...But, after a moment, he smiles a bit.] Aa, sure. Let's meet up. Want the address to my place?
[...But, after a moment, he smiles a bit.] Aa, sure. Let's meet up. Want the address to my place?
Sure!
I'll bring some snacks and we can chat over there.
You don't mind do you? [She's practically a stranger after all.]

I don't mind. [There's warmth in his voice-- she may be a stranger, but the fact of it is that they shared memories, that he saw for her eyes for a short time.
As paranoid and suspicious as Hinata is...] My address is-- [and insert address here!!] I'll make some tea.

Okay!! I'll be over there soon!
[It takes her a few minutes to arrive but...]
Hello?
[Knocking on the door! She hopes she's at the right place.]

[Knocking on the door! She hopes she's at the right place.]
[The door opens after a couple of knocks, and Hinata blinks at her-- and he nods in greeting, shifting his body slightly to the side. Inside, the apartment is actually very, very... normal.
No holograms to change the look of things here.]
Hey. Come on in.

Hey. Come on in.
Hello!!
[Hinata, do you like hugs? Meruru's about to greet you with one. She only means well, of course.]
Thank you for inviting me over.
[Hinata, do you like hugs? Meruru's about to greet you with one. She only means well, of course.]
Thank you for inviting me over.
[While he likes them, getting one so suddenly throws him for a loop. For a moment, alarm bells go off in his head, paranoia kicking in, but he shakes it off to look down at her.
He'll return the hug with one arm... and give her a headpat with the other hand.]
N-no, it's not really anything you need to thank me for... anyway, come in?

Okay!
[She walks into Hinata's place and takes a look around.]
You have a nice place! [It's so neat and tidy.] Do you live here alone?

Nah-- it's me and Komaeda who live here. He's another person from where I'm from, though he's out right now.
[But it is a very clean place...
esp for two guys BUT they're fastidious. He moves to lead her into the living room, where he's already got tea all set up and ready to serve.]

It's great that you live with someone! I wouldn't want you to be alone here. [She just wants Hinata to be happy because she learned things about him.]
Can I meet your friend someday?
Can I meet your friend someday?
[Hinata looks a bit touched--] Aa, I'm not.
And of course you can meet him. He's a good guy, though sometimes a bit tough to try and figure out.

[Meruru laughs at that.] I'm happy to hear it! You two are close!
He doesn't sound like a bad person. Everyone's different that's okay. [She's easily accepted the facts already.]

[A sudden compulsion... to pat her head... what a good kid but no, he'll resist it.]
Yeah, that's right. Everyone's different, and he really isn't a bad guy. But, over here.
[He'll invite her to take a seat with a wave of his hand.]

[She runs over and then takes a seat. Meruru looks at Hinata for a second.]
Hinata, I still have a hard time believing everything that's happened. How do you feel?

It's okay, it's not something you have to rush to believe.
[Trailing off, he frowns thoughtfully down at his tea before he shakes his head.] For me, that happened a while ago. Almost a year ago. So I'm all right. [...] I'm more worried about you.
Was it... scary?

Yes, it was but I'll be all right!
Thank you for worrying about me, you're very kind. [She tries her best to smile and she pulls herself together.]

No, it's normal to be worried, I think...
[He pauses a moment.] After what you saw... it did get better. Things ended all right.
