[ it's not too weird. majima's good eye flutters shut and his lips part. he takes a deep breath and releases it. in spite of everything, of all this weirdness and waking up missing an eye, he feels content here with kiryu. kiryu's strong and solid and very much real. he can almost believe kiryu's optimism that it it's good that they knew each other before. maybe for awhile, he could rely on someone else. someone like kiryu. ]

Dunno why I didn't tell ya before, but. I think you've been here for me for a long time.

[ he does know why he hadn't said anything - he's been too scared. too scared to tell kiryu about his memory of calling out to him in front of the cops that day. but now that they've all but confirmed that they're both in a lot of each other's memories, it seems less scary and less one-sided. ]

When I got arrested, an' you were there? I told ya you were all I had left.
