[He's too frazzled to keep it to voice. Seated at his desk, the feed begins with a very black-haired Kanji peering through his glasses at a small stack of papers in his hands. He had to go over them again, sweating visibly before he managed to swallow and get some moisture back into his mouth.]

Son of a bitch... I-I, ah, I gotta put out a warning to everybody!

S'about that Ware Wolf Shop that pops up around now. Dude sells a lotta good stuff, right? Well, he don't feel the need to tell ya about the fine fuckin' print!

[As he places the papers in a neat stack, the sharper eyes can spot the light going through the last flyer he held in his hands, staring at it in more than mild panic, bidding The Shirogane-Tatsumi couple a hearty congratulations and to please use these coupons to make their first anniversary just as memorable.]

Just... just don't buy the fancy rings, y'hear me!? Not unless you're real serious! D-don't make me explain it...!

[He rest the bottom half of his very red face in a palm, lost in thought for a moment. His adam's apple bobs with the next swallow. How the fuck was he gonna explain this to-

The feed cuts.]

"Honey, you won't believe this, but we're legally married in this world."

[Does Kanji call her honey? Ren has no idea.]

Then you can awkwardly laugh, gauge her reaction, and then propose to her for real.

Then we have a celebration. Are you more the traditional or catholic marriage type?

[The way Ren said it, Kanji could have sprouted a mustache and popped into the door to Naoto's office like some sitcom bit. But as he swallowed, he considered that maybe... maybe they could make something genuine out of this. But wasn't this too-]

B-but wouldn't it all be too fast!? It- t-trust me, if I had to pick someone to spend the rest of my life with i-it's her, but...!

Or are ya lookin' for an excuse to throw a big-ass party?

[chainlinks]

Isn't it always too fast? If you think she's the one for you, then why wait? Especially if you might not remember your time here...

[A little sad, but he does have a point.]

Well I don't really need excuses, really.

[topgun_textiles]

[Especially if you might not remember your time here... His heart plummeted. He needed a moment to think. He'd written a letter to himself, but what if that wasn't enough?]

M-maybe the prismals can find a way to keep us from forgetting... they're smart, right?

[chainlinks]

[He feels bad about it but it is important to consider.]

I hope they can....but so far I've lost a friends who came here and left, and I know I won't be able to meet with them again.

[...]

I'm sorry...if it sounds like a downer. But considering everything, I'm a strong believer of seizing the moment before it leaves you.

[Having lost friends here in the same way, it was like a little punch in the gut. He shook his head.]

N-no, I getcha. I'm sorry you lost some pals.

[He rubbed the back of his head. He needed to figure out this ring thing, but:]

Hey, when I get back, y'wanna do a coffee n' shoot-the-shit? Not literally, but I don't intend on letting whatever powers-that-be kick me outta here without a fight.
