so you're not some sort of zookeeper or animal trainer for a circus or something?

No, not even close.

really? not even one of them?
so what were you, tiger man?

I was a

[ shit, he's not actually gonna say it. ]

A family man.

[ Or more like, a Family man. ]

a family man

that can fight off two tigers

[ uh ]

It wasn't that kind of family...
There's no real nice way to put it, though.
I was a in the yakuza.

[ oh shit, yakuza... sena almost drops his phone in shock. ]

whoa
so i guess fighting off tigers is a norm in yakuza? that's so bizarre
but that's just the past you, right?

[ y e a h, he's trying to be better and not lie about that stuff but guess what sena!! you're the first rando he's told. ]

I don't think it was normal...
But yeah, that was in the past.
I'm just a real estate agent now.
I'm not interested in getting involved with crime or any of that.

[ For now........ ]

[ he is honored... maybe ]

real estate agent
can't help but think that that's only your day job but
hearing that you're a good normal guy puts me at ease more than id like to admit
im not rly panicking as much anymore so
thanks

[ sena knows the guy from their expeditions in the crypts last month but this is probably the first time they've had an actual convo... this guy ain't so bad tbh ]

[ hilariously, Kiryu didn't fight any monsters the whole time he was on their crypt adventure so even then... he's a painfully normal-seeming dude. ]

LOL I don't think I'd be telling people if I was still a criminal now
You don't have to worry.
Most of what I've remembered has been dangerous stuff like that, though.
But even then, it's not all bad.
That's why I asked.

[ why did rng not let the actual yakuza man fight but the model boy has to? this is bullshit, yo ]

it's uh
retrospec gave me back my original hair color
which took me off guard too much
can you imagine waking up one day and catching yourself in the mirror to find out that your hair has become all grey
it's like that

[ talk about a rude awakening ]

[ rng is into some crazy irony I tell you what ]

Woah... I guess that'd be pretty surprising, yeah.
You're not old or anything, right?
I woke up super muscular one day, so I can kinda imagine.
It takes some time to get used to big changes like that.

im only 19?? cut me some slack
but id be pretty surprised too if i suddenly woke up w muscles as well, christ

Waking up all gray would be a shock...
That's gonna take some getting used to.

[ I mean, Kaz here has remembered some stuff of him being older, but he's pretty sure he never went gray. Thank you, Sega. ]

Honestly, it was a huge hassle.
I had to buy new clothes and everything.

new clothes?
well it is a hassle to replace your entire wardrobe but it can't all be that bad

Yeah, nothing besides my gym clothes fit me anymore.
I had to buy new suits for work and people were all really shocked.
And I had to lie and say I'd gone on some weird ultra-protein diet...

pretty sure ultra-protein diets don't normally take effect on your body overnight
either way that sucks
but everyone had gotten used to it, right? even the people who don't have the app?

They didn't buy it much either.
But yeah, they stopped asking after a while.
I think if you don't have the app, it becomes "normal" after a few weeks.

so they won't ask any further for a few weeks
huh
that... kind of makes me feel better now
ugh why won't the app tell us this on the get-go
like a fucking instruction manual or something

Yeah, it's kind of weird... but I guess it's not much weirder than monsters.
It'd be nice if it came with some instructions.
Like "What To Do If You Wake Up With Superpowers" or "I Guess You Have Gray Hair Now"
Has anyone written something like that yet?

pretty sure someone out there is working on it right now
it could be useful for newcomers instead of doing the same song and dance every other month and spamming the app
you never know when you'll wake up w silver hair too or an even worse hair color so
better safe than sorry

It would be really helpful.
Considering I've woken up with a tattoo and some people wake up losing eyes it's probably better to warn them.
It sucks though.
I wouldn't want to go back to not being on the app, but still...

people waking up blind?? jesus christ
yeah apparently losing the app can also reverse its effects on you and goes back to the way you usually are before getting it
but it's too late for that now, isn't it?
ofc you'd want to know more about your past self
even if it hurts

[ whether physically or emotionally, he doesn't say ]

Majima lost his eye the same way.
He tried not to make a big deal of it, but I know it was hard on him.
But it's definitely too late to go back.
It'd be irresponsible to just want to pretend none of this is happening.
We just have to bear through it.

[ Kiryu knows all about that painful shit, lemme tell ya. ]

oh right, the eyepatch
and i thought it was some shitty trend that was left over a couple of months ago

[ shakes fist at sky BAREN... ]

but yeah you got a point
bear whatever the shitty app throws at us
anyways i kind of feel better now since other people obv regained worse than i did
i didn't know you knew the not-so-old man but since im going to be working at his club every once in a while
well
i wish you guys well regardless
