(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i dont know if py-tan can store her phone in her head anymore

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but at least her texts currently respect the arrow of time

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: how are you doing? i hope you don't have nightmares, i can't hug you from here

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: did her texts not do that?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: respect time i mean

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: how would that work

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: ...i'm okay. the girls aren't going to do anything

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: nope. while i was at the cafe with inai-sensei and naru she haunted the table and then texted me from before the rescue, and then from the future

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: what do-- oh. ohhhh. i am so sorry :(

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm glad they wont but im sorry for making things complicated.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i'm not sorry

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: if its you and complicated or not you and simple, i'll take complicated

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: you're a lot better than geometry <4

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: that must have been so confusing. how would she even... nope don't tell me, ghost math sounds too hard.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i'm telling them you're not their ally.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I don't want to put you in a bad spot.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm good at math and i can't even follow ghost math

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: about that. i mean right now there's only one thing im not their ally on, and thats the dark kingdom, right? but ... himeko is a very, very, very old ghost, and even she seems to think i can get them out without being there.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: it'll be really complicated to get me out

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: ive been legally missing for over two years

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but i'm looking at ways to do it

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I don't suppose the money you have could help you be legally un-missing?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: But yeah that's what I meant, they're kind of, um, you know, attacking innocent people bad, which, yes,,, but,,,

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: your monsters are funny its fine you're a nice guy

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i made a carrot youma just for you

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: And... I'd rather they thought you were unreliable for them than risk your secrets getting out.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Awwwww you made a carrot youma for me?! That's so sweet!!!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: did you know they put carrot in *cake*?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: LOL

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i will eat any carrot cake they try to sneak you

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: this girl as the cake shop in juuban tried to convince me it was good

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but nothing touched by carrot can ever be good.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i mean it's spice cake, but if you're hyperattuned to the taste of carrots then that wouldn't save it

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: if it's a spice cake, why put carrots in it?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: because it's carrot cake!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i don't think i'll have any money after i quit my job, if my job doesn't try to kill me for quitting, even

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: so we should go on expensive dates before i quit my job lol

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i will never understand cake fans

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: can you

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: googling one second

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: can you 'embezzle' from your job.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i think you deserve to have some of their money after you get out. but i'm not turning down expensive dates!!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i don't actually know how to embezzle. i have some secret bank accounts but i dont really know how secret they could possibly be from my job, they probably own the banks

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: hm google says you could buy things that you could sell for money later?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: would your job notice if you were spending money on 'high value retail items'?

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: no i think they kind of expect me to. maybe i can get nephrite to embezzle some stuff for me, he buys mansions and batmobiles and stuff

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: oh yeah his car was really nice. it feels weird to say that.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: well it's like objectively nice. he doesnt want to drive that one anymore after what happened so he was looking at a different one that costs more than buying the entire orphanage and upgrading it with elevators and a better kitchen would cost

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i hope the school lets me stay

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i hope the government lets me stay at this school

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i don't want to go back there ever again.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: the entire orphanage for a car

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: they have to let you!!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: this is one of the best schools in the country! and you like it here!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: they don't have to let me do anything. i'm 16 and a ward of the state and i've been missing since i was 13.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but i get good grades. :/

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: so idk maybe they would.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: shouldn't that be THEIR fault because they lost you

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: it should be my boss's fault because she kidnapped and brainwashed me tbh

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: ok fair i dont think the government knows how to handle that

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah :<

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but we'll figure it out!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i love you, you know.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you make things so hopeful.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: that's one of the reasons :)

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: <3<3<3<3<3

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I love you too.
