“So this is an ability that can be achieved without it being natural to the person. How strange to think.” He murmured thoughtfully, though in a way that still rather made Mitsuru special if her ability was slightly different from those who achieved it artificially. To think his other self might be similar to her in some way? What were the odds of such a coincidence?? “I wish it were easier to communicate with our other selves. I’m sure you and I both would be able to ask and learn more about it if we could.” Again, so odd to find similarities and differences between them… Yusuke wished they hadn’t been dealt such a poor hand in all of this, or that the rules were different somehow.

“Given where we are bound to go after our time here… I suppose it would probably be best to hope to not need a display at all.” He mused, small frown on his face. Though, now that he knew her, there was every possibility he would seek her out when they returned. It might be nice to have an ally in that strange other realm, especially when some of the other residents tended towards the unpleasant.

Her comment gets a rather pleased smile from the Kitsune. “You’re too kind to have said so.” And it meant she was owed the returned honor of knowing his secrets. He had a feeling, given what he’d seen and learned from her, that it was a safe enough secret to leave in her care.

There was a pleasant chuckle from the creature at the mystified expression on her face. It seemed that the answer had made the pieces fall into place! “Indeed, that is the answer. But, as we established, you had not have the foundation of knowledge necessary to guess the answer before now.” So she wasn’t really foolish, but he knew better than to call out those who hadn’t taught her these things again. “And I am honored that we could share our secrets. You seem a safe enough person to trust with it in turn for the secrets you shared with me.”
