[ It's in the fading hours of the night that this particular text message graces the network. Well, if by "graces" it's meant that this text nearly a month in the making is suddenly, rapidly thrown together and retyped over the course of a few restless hours leading to this. ​]

Lightning-kun, you aren't allowed to weigh in.

[ And having lead with that -- ]

How do you define the term 'boyfriend'? How should it be defined?

There's been some confusion about it lately. I'm simply looking for clarification, that's all.

[ Emphasis on the "that's all," not that such things are necessarily perceived through text, and that suits one Setsura Light just fine. ]

That's a long time. I'm sorry, I'm sure you miss your home.

[chichichi]

Do you miss yours?

[anthropophagite]

I don't know.

It's complicated, I think. I miss a few people I have left behind, but I haven't seen them in a long time, anyway.

[chichichi]

That sounds lonely.

[anthropophagite]

[ he is so very lonely. ]

But even though I'm not there, I know they will be alright. So it's okay. I think that's what is important.

[ his original world is not caught on a time-loop. And the world where he came from is currently going through the whole time-loop thing, but Kaneki's friends left it before they got caught in it, at least. ]

[ Talking like that... ]

In that case, you should be concerned about your happiness.

You aren't alone here, you know. Not really.

[anthropophagite]

[ haha what happiness... ]

Of course. There are many people in the same situation that I am. And that you are, too. There are many people like us.

[chichichi]

Are you more of a tea person or a coffee person?

[anthropophagite]

Coffee. Or water. I'm not a fan of anything else. [ he can't have anything else]

[chichichi]

Perhaps we could get a cup sometime, then. I don't know coffee nearly as well as I do tea, so I'll be counting on you to recommend a good brew if you're game.

[anthropophagite]

[ oh he is being invited for coffee? Maybe? ]

Of course. I know all the spots around here, so I promise to show only the best.

[chichichi]

I'll be holding you to that. When would a good time for you?

[anthropophagite]

Anytime works. I admit I haven't found much to occupy my days with, besides reading.

[chichichi]

My own schedule is a bit complicated. How about I take a look at it and contact you?

[ Battling with bureaucracy to open up a business while managing a part-time job by appointment makes things tricky. ]

[anthropophagite]

Yes, of course. Take your time.
