(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: my name is mamoru but don't call me by it in public, and if you call me it in private and i correct you, do it again the next day please

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: *after a couple minutes of ellipsis* Got it.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: thank you (heart emoji)

10 minutes later

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: obviously you dont have to answer but im really curious, can you tell me literally anything of what you didnt hit send on? if its questions i may or may not answer

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: Most of it was stupid snark, and not worth repeating. Trust me.

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: ...

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: ...

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: The most important one was... I'm not the first person you told, am I. It's cool. You have more important people like Takashi and Usagi.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Takashi told me actually

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: We grew up together and I don't remember much of it.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I basically remember one vine and several snapshots. I don't remember my name. I don't remember where we lived.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: But Takashi calls me Mamoru sometimes, like. He just forgets not to call me that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I didn't tell Usagi that part. I don't want her to feel sorrier for me than she does.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: But I told her my name, and I'm telling you my name, so that if I forget it again and Takashi can't tell me, someone can.

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: Are you in trouble? I'm not asking about Usagi. I mean real trouble.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Of course I am. And I still can't talk about it. Sorry. Right now I'm dancing on a razor's edge telling anyone anything. Usagi might have some guesses, I don't remember what I told her. I'm probably not going to remember this either. You should talk to her.

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: When you have something you need to remember, mail it to yourself. Write it down, and send it via post to the dorm room.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: this isnt my work phone :P

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but the important part is no i can't, i cant think of anything more suspicious than me getting mail hahahaha

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but there are some people i can tell

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm erasing this convo though

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: Fine. I will not forget. I have ways of making sure I never forget anything.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: in like 300 years you'll be all like 'mamoru you fuck why did you make me remember your favorite ice cream flavor'

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: Isn't that mint chocolate chip?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: no it's phish food

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: Good, because who deliberately likes mint chocolate chip?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: idk probably people who unintentionally like mint chocolate chip and then lean into it because someone told them it sucked, or something

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: Root Beer Float ice cream.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: (lots of ...) wouldnt that just be root beer and vanilla

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: anyway thank you. and thank you for putting up with my rollercoaster, and me, and the drama, and the trouble, and the secrets and the lies, and me having a brother and a mysterious sister and a usagi

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: brothers, more like. but takashi is one and you really wouldnt like the others.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: anyway i need to stop talking. erasing again. sorry. i'll be back at some point before midnight, just don't know when yet. i'm not at work. i'm just being an introvert somewhere no one will look for me.

(PHONE) Koji Silvia texts: I think I'll be late too. just. Need some air.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: (thumbs up emoji)
