(Alright, [tornado fang] it. I'm gonna get this post out of the way.)
RMZX wakes up, groggy and weak due to blood loss.
RMZX - "I'm...alive?"
Akai - "Yes, but only because I saved you.."
RMZX looks over to see Akai, clothing still tattered from jumping into the reactor.
RMZX - "Why did you save me? I thought you hated me."
Akai - "Well, you sort of hate me too. And... I guess I didn't want you to die such a pathetic death."
The two go silent.
RMZX - "This is the most we've talked to eachother... ever."
Akai - "It is... Anyway, I need to tal-"
RMZX - "Wait, let me say something first."
Akai - "Hm?"
RMZX - "I'm... sorry, the way I treated you was juvenile, I shouldn't have done that to you."
Akai - "No... its fine. You had your reasons."
Akai gives the picture to RMZX.
RMZX - "This picture... you were in my wallet..."
Akai - "I wanted to get the keys to the ship, and I just saw it there, its not like you had any money in it anyway."
RMZX - "Still, its the principle of the matter..."
The two went silent again.
Akai - "So... your name is... Josei?"
RMZX - "I see you read the note on the back... yes, my name is really 'Josei Ona', but I've gone by RMZX for the longest time, that I like to pretend that's my name instead."
Akai - "I see... and this girl?"
RMZX - "I can't remember her name anymore. Its been too long, my mind has blanked it out."
Akai - "Oh."
RMZX - "As you already noticed, you look almost exactly like her. Its why I was so cold to you."
Akai - "What happened to her?"
RMZX - "I.. don't really want to talk about it."
Akai - "Josei... I want to hear it, tell me."
RMZX - "Fine... its a long story, so don't say I didn't warn you beforehand if you feel like complaining."
Akai - "I'll be fine, tell me the story."
RMZX - "Alright, it goes like this:
A few years back, back in my universe, it was always quiet, there weren't very many people around in RPM.
One day, somebody had moved in nearby, it was a girl. I never had any luck with girls, so I pretty much didn't have any intentions on talking to her.
But, as luck would have it, she came right up to me, she was such a curious girl, she always wanted to talk to me, even when I just wanted to be by myself.
It was just annoying at first, but I honestly feel like she knew it was annoying, because I got used to it, she rubbed off on me, and I started to enjoy talking with her too.
Turned out, we shared a lot of the same interests, we spent more and more time together, but we were never really a couple.
Then, eventually, she came right out and said "As of today, we are a couple!" Followed by a very forced kiss.
But that didn't matter, it didn't really change much for us, most of the time we spent together we would watch our favorite show, "Go Denzan Racer Team!", a silly little series about a team of racers who fought crime. Her favorite character was the main love interest of the hero, Fen Diamond, the spunky lass who ended up defeating most of the Villains.
Well, one day she wanted us to go cosplay, her being Fen and me being the Hero. It all worked out fine at first, but one of the heels on the shoes she was wearing gave out while she was descending some stairs. She hit her head and was knocked unconscious.
I rushed her to the hospital, and while she recovered with minimal injuries, she had amnesia.
Me, being the absolute [tornado fang]ing idiot that I am, wasn't sure if she was serious, and told her that she was Fen and she was a hero.
She believed me, and about a week later a bank robbery occurred, believing herself to be a hero, she rushed in.
The one robbing the bank was a brutish thug, didn't talk, really [tornado fang]ing huge. She went to fight him...
The thug ripped her in half, threw what was left of her to the ground, and crushed her skull.
Shortly after, the police were able to take the thug down, turns out it was a machine, programmed to kill whatever got in its way.
I didn't attend her funeral out of politeness, and her family moved away shortly after, presumably because they didn't want to be anywhere near the man who got their daughter killed.
A few days later, I got that photograph, I don't know who took it. I don't know who this "Friend" is.
A few months passed, and I wound up here, I found the capsule you were in, with a note:
"A GIFT TO YOU, FROM A FRIEND."
And woke you up, after you scanned me, you looked at my memory and saw that girl, only difference being the eyes, since your model doesn't have the ability to change eye color from the default red.
I originally presumed it was for the me that resides in this dimension, but now that I think of it, there may be a slim possibility that its the same person."
RMZX - "And that's the whole story."
Akai - "...."
RMZX - "Akai?"
Akai - "I... need to go."
RMZX's eyes widened.
RMZX - "Wait, what do you mean?"
Akai - "I don't want to cause you any more pain."
RMZX - "But... Akai."
Akai - "I'm sorry... Goodbye, Josei..."
Akai then ran out of the Sick bay, RMZX tried to get up, but his wounds weren't fully healed yet.
RMZX - "AKAI!...Don't go..."
