Yeah... I'll see. I can probably work around it. [The crack is right over her face in her lockscreen photo, which is of her, smiling normally, and a guy with blue eyes making an awkward face. It's captioned "don't change this picture." She runs her finger over the crack one more time to make sure it's still functional, then sighs and puts her phone away.]
But no, I should be thanking you! I mean, it was on my card too, after all!
There's nothing better than helping each other out to get things done, especially for bingo!
[ even if it involves rickrolling a mall... in hindsight, the mall's probably been rickrolled plenty of times today for bingo. also, since his nosy self definitely took a quick glance at her lockscreen photo — ]
Is that guy okay? The one on your phone, I mean. His face looked kind of...
That's the spirit! [Plus, she managed to knock out a couple of bingo squares with this one!
She looks down at her lock screen photo again, still smiling, but with a hint of confusion, like she knows she's forgetting something.]
I think... I just took the picture at a funny moment. It's funnier this way than with a normal smile, right? But you can still see that he has blue eyes, which is the important part.
Huh... Whatever trick you used to get him to make that face, I'm pretty curious. I want to try it, too!
[ but if she doesn't remember it, then it's fine — there's also something about the boy in her picture that he remembers overhearing, now noting his vivid eye color that still, well, exists somehow. ]
His name wouldn't happen to be Yato, would it? Someone told me that a guy named Yato had unnaturally blue eyes.
Oh, haha, I made him say 'cheese' in Finnish. Or what we say instead of cheese, anyway. It doesn't really look like a smile.
[She can remember that part clearly enough, now that she's focusing on it... and once he says 'Yato,' her head snaps up in recognition.]
Yes! Yato, that's right! [God, now that she's placed the name she can remember it all right, but she frowns at herself again.] The app does something stupid and makes it hard to remember him sometimes.
[ he'll definitely jot that finnish cheese trick down, probably to use on some other poor sap. but there's an abrupt tilt of his head towards the end of what she says, about him being hard to remember. while he believes her, it's also not something he's heard before. ]
What do you mean? I know they can prevent people [ npcs ] from noticing that some things are gone, but can they actually make us forget people?
[ it's only been a day or two since he's heard of yato in the first place, so his timing is lucky... or unlucky, depending on how you look at it. ]
It's something specific to him, I think. [Or at least, Yato hadn't been surprised when she had trouble remembering him. Just disappointed.] It just gets... hard to remember, if you don't keep seeing him.
It's stupid. I'm finding a way around it.
[Not... well, if her reaction was any indication, but she taps her phone again so the lock screen photo shows up. Yato. She's not going to forget this time.]
Really... I'll probably forget about him soon, just like everyone else. I'm glad I could remind you before then, though.
[ poor yato... living while being forgotten by everyone just sounds too sad. but when the image comes up on her lock screen once more, he gives it another glance, in some degree of thought. ]
You could try writing his name on that picture — with a photo editing app, maybe! That way, it might be easier for you to remember.
Yeah, me too. [She's going to have to set reminders on her phone or something at this rate, not just the picture. But hey, bedazzling Yato's name is a pretty good idea!]
Hey, yeah! [She pops open some sort of hideous Line-type photo editor and starts writing Yato's name on the picture with glitter font. THIS IS YATO, she writes, and then starts stamping stars in the corner.] What do you think, should I use some of the cat ones too?
[This looks like a kindergartener fingerprinting.]
[ he fully endorses this kindergartener fingerprinting... there's something a bit strange to him, about offering his input when he hasn't met yato to begin with — but that oddity aside, he's always here for cheesy picture decorating. ]
Do you know what else he likes? There might be stickers for those, too.
I think he likes dogs, actually, but that's fine. Dogs like cats too. [Dogs like to chase cats, anyway... not actually the same thing. She slaps a cute cat sticker in the corner anyway, because it's her phone and she wants one there.]
He likes food a lot! [which means a taco sticker gets slapped right over Yato's hand, as if he's carrying a stupid cartoon taco.] Perfect. I think this would be way harder to forget now.
