[fiddlestick]

Yeah. I wonder if the other you and other me would've been friends...

[He doesn't see why they wouldn't be, but it'd be a very different situation]

Haha, not sure Eren would be much help anyway with this. He's not good at distinguishing between the more subtle things in relationships. [Dating vs commitment, love vs like. When Eren feels something, he does it all the way and he does it fast. ]

Let's see...do you see yourself with Sanji long term?

[fabrefactions]

I would hope so. He would be at a distinct loss if he were the sort of person your other self would not choose to befriend.

Ah, so I was lucky he was able to help me out then, and not now.

[ ... There's the big question. ]

That is a rather strange thing to ask, when you consider it. Long term could be anything, and many things I could not predict for. Yet, when I think of months and years down the line in general, I find I hope the same people I know now are around me then as well.

[fiddlestick]

Awww. Don't worry, I'm sure my other self would try at least! He doesn't seem that different from me.

Okay, right. I know, you can't predict things. But how would you feel if Sanji wasn't there? Five years from now.

[fabrefactions]

That would be nice. I would like to be friends with you across many universes.

...

I'm not sure if I can. He is a fixture in my life now, and it would feel strange not to have him as part of it.

[fiddlestick]

Me too, that'd be cool. But at least we have one universe down for sure.

Hehe, well that's a good sign!

[fabrefactions]

One is a good start.

...

Oh, is that an indicator? I'm never quite sure how to describe it. I am comfortable with him, and enjoy being with him. I could say the same about being with my friends, but I know it is a different sort of feeling.

[fiddlestick]

Right. It's a very different feeling. I know what you mean by that.

I mean, I really want you guys still in my life five years from now too! But...it's very hard to imagine a future without Eren in it.

[fabrefactions]

Yes... that's probably an answer enough.

Why would you have to? You two are attached at the hip, I doubt either of you will be going astray.

[fiddlestick]

Well I don't think we'd separate by CHOICE, sure.
But something bad could always happen.

[fabrefactions]

...

I feel it is best not to dwell on these sorts of things too much.

[fiddlestick]

I don't dwell on it!

Just acknowledge it.

[fabrefactions]

That still feels a little sad... but perhaps it is also practical in ways I don't wish to consider.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I know.
It IS a pretty morbid thought to have.

[fabrefactions]

Perhaps morbidity is necessary sometimes.

[fiddlestick]

Sometimes, I suppose...

Anyway, we're getting off topic.
Is this helping you figure out your answer?

[fabrefactions]

... Perhaps.

I was hoping I'd get something that would answer the questions completely, but... this is something I suppose I must figure out myself. The guidance is greatly appreciated though.

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, yeah...sorry. If love wasn't so mysterious, artists and musicians wouldn't make stuff about it all the time.

I'm sure you'll figure it out! You're very true to yourself.

[fabrefactions]

Sometimes I think we artists are too focused on it, or place expectations on it that make it more daunting than it should be.

Referencing artists takes on it did not help me much.

[fiddlestick]

Aha, we probably do.

I'm not surprised. Looks like you'll have to use your own artist intuition to draw your own conclusion.

[fabrefactions]

I didn't expect it to be quite this complicated, yet... at the same time, I did.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, love's funny like that.

Sanji's a good guy though. I like him a lot.

[fabrefactions]

Yes. I do too...

[ WHAT A GOOD THING YUSUKE. ]

These things, and these sort of relationships aren't always easy, but... I think it's worth it.

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I agree! It's completely worth it.

You seem a lot happier being with Sanji. Not that you were particularly unhappy before, just...

[you know, you two are cute]
