Ohh, I think I've heard of that. Dunno if he mentioned it to me or not, but that sounds really good.

[ Omurice... one day, Majima. One day. ]

What's it called again? Egg rice?

[ that doesn't sound right... what had tatsuo called it... ]

Nah it wasn't egg...it was something else. Omelette.....omurice? Yeah, that was it.

Omurice... They put ketchup on it, right?

[ Damn, that sounds good... ]

Oh, speaking of Tatsuo, I remembered something else thanks to him, I think.

Damn....

[he's still fantasizing about egg-rice combinations, it takes him a moment for the second part of kiryu's statement to catch up with him.]

Oh yeah? What happened?

My... apartment burned down.

[ Hm, he could have maybe saved this tidbit for later OH WELL ]

I guess there's some downsides to being a badass.

Shit, Kazzy...

[ that sounds really horrific to have to suddenly remember. when people talk about things being triggering, they dont usually mean quite so literally. ]

I'm sorry. That's a fucked up thing to have to remember.

[ Kiryu shakes his head. He didn't mean to worry Majima or anything, he's just shared most of it by now... ]

It's okay. It's in the past... or, I don't know. Whatever these are. But I wasn't hurt, anyway and it was a tiny apartment. I was fine.

[ majima nods, letting the weight of it hang between them for a moment, while he's quiet. he's trying to decide what more he wants to say. but kiryu...has shared a lot with him. it seems unfair, that he doesn't give him anything in return.

he doesn't want to play a game of whose life was worse or who suffered more - he's never been interested in that and he's pretty much convinced everyone has it worse than him (or at the very least, that his misery was all self-inflicted) but on the other hand, never giving kiryu anything why kiryu tells him so much...that's not how trust works. ]

I think I got arrested. In the past. Wherever the fuck.

Arrested? Really?

[ That sounds awful, especially with how both of them have family in jail. Kiryu can't imagine how horrible that must feel-- for all that seeing his apartment go up in flames hurt, and made him check every smoke detector in his house, that was at least a concrete problem. This is not. (And yeah, these idiots always seem to think everyone else has it worse than them...) ]

That's awful. Do you remember why? Was it a mistake?

I don't think it was an accident.

[ mostly, he remembers the distinct feeling of of course it would be like this. not sadness, but almost annoyance. ]

Just stupid.

I'm sorry.

[ Shouldn't have brought up heavy shit at lunch, jeez!! Kiryu looks down at the menu again. He sure would love to at least put his hand on Majima's shoulder or something! ]

It sucks that we only get these in pieces. It's like we're building a puzzle without even knowing what it's supposed to look like and the pieces change.

Don't be. You didn't do anything.

[ except get there too late and never text him and leave him with daigo in the first place instead of manning up and leading the tojo clan yourself while you fucked off to okinawa

but he doesn't know any of that so you know!! you didn't do anything kiryu! ]

I dunno, I'm just tryin' not to think about it.

Yeah. It's all in the past, or another life, or whatever it is.

[ Kiryu nods. That's definitely better than thinking about it! Sorry, Majima... ]

Doesn't change who we are now, just what we do with what we know.

[ Like Kiryu, for instance, who wants to be that badass someday. ]

Doesn't have much to do with sushi either. Do we have to order miso soup, or is it included...?

Probably have ta order it yourself -- ya want some?

Yeah, let's get some. Does sushi go with miso soup? I don't really know...

[ Makoto's mom usually makes miso soup, but then they don't exactly eat sushi very often. ]

Does it matter? What're they gonna do, revoke your Japanese card or something?

[turn in your nerd gun and your nerd badge]

[ Kiryu snorts. ]

Yeah, good point. Guess I'll have the miso, then.

Good call.

[ ok someone eventually comes and takes the order for the soup and the sushi he marked down and majima gets some tea and they're set. ]

How's work goin'? They treatin' ya any better?

[ Kiryu nods. ]

Yeah, I'm doing a lot better, actually. I've helped close a lot of sales in the last two weeks, so things are looking good.

[ Who knew a change in attitude could help so much? ]

How's business at the club?

Oh, that's good ta hear!

[ majima smiles!! hearing that makes him happy!! ]

Shit's so much better now that we're not all fuckin' tiny.

[ Kiryu smiles because Majima smiled and that's cause for celebration. ]

Oh, man, yeah... That week was awful. [ He looks down at his hands, taking the chance to grab some chopsticks while he frowns a bit. ] I managed to pull through thanks to that RC car I got off Amazon, but everyone's numbers really tanked... How did you guys work it out back then?

[ thats gay ]

We bought doll furniture -- me 'n Tuuri, we went on a whole adventure and it ended up workin' out pretty well.

[ They're very gay. ]

Oh, that's smart. I'm glad you had help.

[ Tuuri's a good girl. ]

...People still came by the club?

[ tuuri is so good....]

Oh, yeah, lots of regulars an' stuff. Not a lot of Retrospecters, of course.

[ Kiryu brings a hand to his chin, pondering this. ]

Right... makes sense. Even with our numbers down, everyone else at work acted like it was just a normal week.
