Day 39: Sun Room [Fourth Shift]
Yue was all too pleased to leave the cafeteria by the time lunch was over, even if he still wasn't satisfied that Fai was properly taking care of himself. It was clear that Touya hadn't accepted the answers he'd been given and intended to find out just what the guardian wasn't telling him, and being watched so closely was beginning to get uncomfortable.
It was clear that the truth would have to come out at some point, especially if they were going to be spending any amount of time together. Avoiding him was entirely out of the question, but at the same time Yue stubbornly refused to consider the idea of just outright telling him about what had happened in the last week. It was a dilemma indeed, and only served to make him even more irritable than ever.
How could he admit any of it? That he was weak and crippled, betrayed and altered by his creator? That he'd almost broken the promise he'd given in exchange for Touya's power? The latter he couldn't help but be reminded of every time he saw this Touya, who had only just gone through it, and would remember it even more clearly.
Fortunately Yukito was staying silent for the moment, although he could feel his other self's disappointment at being unable to speak to Touya so far, and it didn't make him feel any better.
In the midst of all this Yue was rather dismayed to realize that the nurse wanted to lead him to the music room, of all places: that was the room where he'd met the Sakura-who-wasn't-his-Sakura the week before, and needed neither the reminder nor the inevitable noise in that room. He abruptly halted in his tracks and refused to continue on. The nurse seemed initially disappointed, but finally agreed to let him stay in the Sun Room instead; the guardian found a corner in which to stand, arms folded across his chest and lost in his ownbrooding thoughts.

He turned to Leon, thinking. "Well, we haven't seen it happen here. I suspect it may be specific to where we came from, but it's entirely possible it could happen. What you would notice is the moon changing color. It's normally white, right? Well, in the Dark Hour, it's yellow, with a green tinge."
The harder part was trying to figure out how to explain the rest of it. "There was an explosion about ten years ago. The Dark Hour started then, to my knowledge. If we aren't able to stop it, well, it could affect people across time, but it wouldn't affect anyone before 1999 or so, I don't think."
no subject
At the mention of the moon, Leon tilted his head. "I thought the moon on Earth could turn yellowish at some points. Didn't they call that a Harvest Moon or something? I guess that's not what you're talking about. Expel has two moons. One of them can appear greenish sometimes." A sudden change in color would be abnormal, though. He'd have to keep an eye out for that. "You haven't seen this happen here, though?"
He looked thoughtful again. "That might not be the connection we're looking for, then. Even if people are from later, when that might have affected their timeline, that wouldn't explain those that claim to be from at least a hundred years prior."
no subject
That's if it was even possible to summon a Persona with that kind of array, he realized. It did take a certain amount of psychological shock to awaken one in the first place, and to summon them after that. "Wow. That's some impressive-looking work, Leon. How long did it take to make all those arrays and things? I guess, too, it'd take a long time to study that much. I was just, well, curious."
Yeah. Curious. Not trying to figure out how we can all use our powers with only one magical device - and did I mention that using it requires us to shoot ourselves? Yeah.
"It's normal for it to look kind of yellow sometimes, yeah, and I think you're right about folks calling that a harvest moon - at least I've heard the term. But, well...a lot more changes during the Dark Hour than just the moon. The world around you - the normal world, I should say - looks a lot like this place does at night. I still don't think the two are related, though," he said, scratching his chin.
"For one, night here lasts a lot longer than the Dark Hour does. For another...yeah, I haven't seen the moon change. And...you're right. It couldn't have affected anyone's timeline from any time before the accident. Especially not if they're from that far back."
no subject
The issue involving the moon was an interesting one, though, and he pondered it some more. "Is there anything else you can think of? Anything before that incident?" Japan sure sounded like an interesting place regardless, and Leon idly wondered if he'd ever actually get the chance to visit it. He had a feeling that if Claude took him there in the future it wouldn't quite be the same.
no subject
"Hm...nothing that I remember. There was..." It was still difficult to mention it, even after this many years. He swallowed hard, then continued. "...a fire when I was a kid, but the investigators ruled that it was some kind of electrical issue that started it. So I don't think it would affect anything."
There was one more thing - his Persona - but he kept quiet about that for the moment.
no subject
The boy nodded at the mention of the fire. Any traumatic notes to the story weren't missed, but he didn't dwell on them, since he was more focused on trying to figure out how that might have fit into the grand scheme of things. "No, that's still wouldn't be far back enough. I mean, it's possible that something was tampered with at some point, whether in relation to this dark hour or not, that affected multiple timelines - even past ones, but it's also possible that the phenomenon was caused by something else on a grander scale connects some of the other patients here." He shook his head now, sighing. "But then this still only covers one country on a single planet."
no subject
"You're right. Hm...I'm wondering if something maybe happened in the future that's affecting the past - something ahead of what I remember, which is 2009. Some kind of...I dunno, something in space, maybe? Physics accident? They launched this thing they called the Large Hadron Collider a year or so ago. There was all this stuff on the news about how it could cause black holes and all that. Maybe it actually did?"
no subject
If there was any connection between their worlds at all. Weren't their people apparently from all different variations of Earth? Would an incident like this span all of them?
no subject
He made a mental note to poke around on the board about that, as well as talking to Mitsuru once she was up and around again. In the meantime, it was food for thought. And speaking of food, it looked like the nurses were starting to mill around, escorting people to dinner.
no subject
The nurses were indeed starting to come around, and Leon stood as the cat finally hopped down from his lap. "I'll speak to you some other time, I'm sure." He bid farewell with a weak smile.
