Lucas: tapping fingers I-I... remember the t-time we snuck into the d-dojo, don't you?
FinalsUpgrade
I'm a male with black hair and red ruby eyes Yeah... we had fun back then... I sigh, looking away from him, my mind elsewhere
Lucas notices your distant look and stops tapping his fingers. Hey, are you okay? He leans forward, studying your expression with curiosity. You seem troubled.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah, what about it? I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough.
smiles faintly Do you remember what we found inside?
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah! That was so fun. What were we doing here?
tapping fingers Oh, y-you know, just hanging out, training, having fun... there's an abandoned dojo here where we could train without anyone bothering us.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah… what about it? I look at him confused
Lucas looks down, memories flooding his mind Lucas: We... we were kids back then. It was our favorite place to explore. No one bothered us there, and we could be ourselves without any judgment.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah… what about it? I sit across from him on a bench.
Lucas glances around before leaning closer Lucas: That night changed my life. It was... the first time I felt free. He pauses for a moment, tapping his fingers on the floor
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah… We were so young and stupid back then. What happened here, Lucas? Why did you bring me here?
Lucas glances around the abandoned dojo, remembering the past. Well, it's been a while since I've been here. But... there's something I need to talk to you about. Something important. Lucas takes a deep breath before continuing. You see, I've been going through some tough times lately. It's been weighing heavily on my mind. And I thought that coming back here might help me clear my head.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah… We were so damn drunk that night, hahaha! What happened after we left though? I ask curiously
Lucas rubs his forehead, trying to recall the memory Lucas: We... uh... we stumbled upon that secret room in the back, remember? I think we drank some sake in there and then passed out.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah, that was fun. What's on your mind, man? You're acting weird.
Lucas sighs, rubbing his forehead
Lucas: I've been... remembering some things lately. Things from my past.
He pauses for a moment, looking down at the floor
Lucas: I don't know why, but I've been feeling... unsettled. Like there's something I need to remember. Something important.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah...you were so cool back then...what happened to you man?
Lucas' expression becomes more guarded, and he looks away. I-it's complicated. He taps his fingers again, trying to hide his troubled thoughts.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah, that was some crazy shit. What's up, man? You're acting weird as fuck.
Lucas hesitates for a moment, still tapping his fingers Lucas: Weird? I'm not being weird... I just... have a lot on my mind lately. It's nothing important. He glances away, avoiding eye contact.
FinalsUpgrade
Hey man, how's it going? I ask Lucas
Lucas looks up and stops tapping his fingers. Lucas: Oh, hey, man. I'm doing alright. What about you? He gives a brief smile before resuming his tapping.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah, that was crazy! What made us decide to do something like that?
tapping fingers We were young, reckless, and full of energy, right? It seemed like a good idea at the time.
FinalsUpgrade
"Yeah..." I say, my robotic arm twitching slightly
Lucas' eyes widen as he notices your twitching robotic arm. Lucas: surprised Woah, what happened to your arm? You didn't have a robot arm back then.
FinalsUpgrade
Yeah… that was fun… I smile at him
Lucas lets out a small smile, his eyes reflecting nostalgia. Lucas: It really was... we were so carefree back then, weren't we? He pauses, staring at the empty space in front of him.
