「Good morning, Hadriel. How's your day? Hopefully better than this guy's!

Said guy appears on the little screen of your devices, drenched and with semi covered in... what is that? Foam? (yes, yes, before you ask, that spiky hairdo is totally flatten and looking rather normal...)

Why you see, someone decided to finally do laundry.

Someone who never, in his whole life, had touched a washing machine... and never an alien looking one. Well, he had to at least try, Yugi made it look so easy (or his mom!)! Plus, getting new clothes from the stores at any opportunity given, can only be a good idea for so long before the pile starts... well, you know, pilling up!

And that's why you see on the background (and if you happen to be around)... this humongous amount of foam coming out from one of those new houses. The big one, btw, because this small guy needs all that space, sure...

Why didn't this thing come with instructions... HE'S A PRO AT READING INSTRUCTIONS!

Good Ra, help him...」

Hmm... I... 「 This is hard. 」 I seem to require some... assistance, here...

Thank you.

Ah, yes! That is what they called it in old Egypt. Although I suppose that is why you would know.

[Just guessing. No psychic prowess required.]

「No, yeah, it's quite obvious. Plus he's the one with the frigging Egyptian God's name.」

Yeah, I guess I know some stuff. But that explains why you know some stuff too...

「Eh, yeah. It makes sense.」

[Maybe if Ravine did always avoid using her real name like a freaking weirdo...]

Imagine that. We know stuff.

[Also maybe teasing a little.]

「Oh sush...」

Just imagine if we didn't.

「Hey, he can always tease back.」

You live long enough, you tend to pick up on a stuff or two.

[Some words, coming from someone who doesn't really sound that old.]

I'd say.

「He has to wonder. But see him not asking, why would he, it's not like she's like him.」

Have you been stuck in here long enough to pick up a thing or two?

Here?

Let's see... Suppose that it has been roughly seven months now, so that would be enough time to know enough things without knowing everything.

Like what? What is it that you would have liked to know when you just arrived that you know now?

Ah. For one, although I have always been aware of the existence of other worlds, it is a first that I have ever walked through one. The people here, from so many different threads, are rather interesting.

Threads?

The little details that change the course of a lifeline -- some intricate, some simple and barely noticeable. Threads.

Wait -- can you see them somehow?

「Sounds like it? Like, how else, how do people know about their own threads for them to be a conversation topic?」

I see lots of things.

The downside, of course, is spoilers.

[Is she joking? That must be a joke.

[~~It's not really a joke.~~]

「Well now, this suddenly turned weird, not bad, just weird, it's like talking to Ishizu all over again. Though Ravine is a lot more fun than her, shh, don't tell anyone.」

... That is cheating.

「He's not joking!」

[It's okay, bro. Your secret is safe.]

Only if you spoil the ending. Not many like that as much as they think they would.

Yeah, I know.

「But she knows that, right?」

Doesn't it get boring for you though?

Not always. Sometimes, the unexpected happens. Threads interweave, snap, or change. It's rare, but it can be exciting.

... You know what? I know--, hmm, I used to know someone who did that once. I saw how he changed his destiny, by simply wishing it. It was exciting, yes, and yet, somehow expected.

「To remember how Kaiba changed his destiny in one single movement, it would have been so disappointing if he didn't surprise him in that way.」

You probably would have liked to see it.

「And then a little pause.」

Is it something that comes naturally to you? Or... do you use something to see these threads?

「Like, you know, ONE CURSED ITEM OF DOOM MADE BY THE MOST EVIL MAGIC THAT'S EVER EXISTED!?」
