Good. [Because also does not want to think about them. Even if she actually kind of is still.]

The roof, huh. We can go take a look. [If it exists. But she’s happy to go along for now and make fun of him later if there ends up being no roof.]

[Keigo makes his way to the roof, and no one is as surprised as he is that the path he remembers continues to appear in front of him, every hallway, door, and stairwell.

If they walk by anything different, like the art room or the first time they pass by a set of restrooms, Keigo points it out, but otherwise he focuses on making sure their world isn't going to end in a sudden drop off.

It doesn't. And when he pushes one final door open, there is a roof. Keigo almost tries for a dramatic presentation, but he remembers how that went. He just steps aside.]

Here we are.

[It really is just a normal school but green for some (probably ergonomic) reason. Shiho still makes a generic sound of amazement to everything he points out to her, seeing through him that he was surprised that the world hadn't suddenly ended or doubled them back like it seemed other places had.

He can't win though because Shiho gives him a raise of an eyebrow as he opens the door sans flourishes.]

Aww, no big reveal this time? [why is she like this]

[Why?]

It's a roof. That's the part that's supposed to wow you.

[Walking to the edge of the roof and slumping over the railing seems like the mood of the moment. That's when he notices the first problem with this world. When he looks out over the school grounds, he can see the gymnasium and athletic fields, but the farther he tries to see beyond school grounds, the more the image blurs.]

Everything's fuzzy. Do you see that, too?

...Because I’ve been living under a rock this entire time and have no idea what a roof looks like? My school had a roof too, you know.

[But she’s walking with him anyway, hands letting go of his arm to touch the railing.]

Huh. You’re right. ...Where do you usually look when you’re up here?

Some schools don't let you go on the roof!

[It could have been impressive.

Oh good, she sees it too, so he's not going blind from stepping into the portal.]

Usually I was talking to my friends, so I wasn't really looking anywhere. [He would check the track for girls running.] But this school's on the edge Karakura. You should see buildings from the town over there.

That’s when you pick the lock. [No it isn’t, please don’t do that]

My place is like this too. Everything is way closer together than it should be, and some stuff just isn’t there.

If they're going to give us weird memory worlds, the least they can do is get it right!

[What if he fell down the stairs because they weren't where he expected them to be?
He would hope he would see stairs coming up in front of him, but this whole experience was very distracting!]

I guess that's it. Karakura High is here but Karakura isn't, and the school is nothing but an empty building to walk around.

Maybe it’s because they built it from our memories. [And she knows memories can be faulty. Though that’s an interesting thing to wonder, wasn’t it? Could he fall down stairs if he expected them to be there?]

Well, there might still be food and items here we could take back with us.

My memory of this place is perfect from spending so much time here! [No the problem is still with the other person. Thing. Force ruining their lives.]

You're right! We should check out the cafeteria!

[Glorious pre-packaged food! Maybe. Keigo heads back for the stairs.]

Well, it’s just a theory. [But she doesn’t sound convinced at all by what he just said.]

I hope they have bread or something. [She misses her carbs.... ]

They used to sell it, so there's a chance.

[Keigo spends the entire walk thinking of various bread fillings. He's going to be so disappointed if there aren't any.

That's a set-up for especially crushing disappointment if there ever was one, but for once in his life, it doesn't happen. When he takes Shiho into the cafeteria, there aren't any hot foods being served by invisible cooks, but the full assortment of rice balls, breads, and other such things appears spread out before them. He grabs one and presents it with a bow.]

Your bread, Shiho-sama.

[That's the current flourish.]

[This time the flourish actually works. She is dazzled. (By the bread.)

Also she likes the honorific so, so much which is why she plays along with wide eyes and a hand pressed to her cheek.]

For me?

[Though truthfully? She could probably sit down and eat everything here.]

For you.

[He swings his arm slowly at the full selection, like a game show host showing off a prize.]

It's all for you.

[Except for the one he's going to snag for himself right now and immediately start eating.]

[That gets her to laugh, finally. She doesn’t even take issue with that bread he’s taken. (Especially as it’s already been bitten.)]

It’s been months since I’ve had bread. [And she’ll select one of her own now, picking something sweet and probably chocolate-filled.]

We should just stay here all day every day and eat bread.

[Add in a rice ball every once in a while for variety.]

Or do you think it would disappear with us in it?

[He doesn't want to find out where made up worlds go when they disappear.]

That’s not exactly healthy though, is it? [Also she might get tired of bread, she thinks, as she takes a bite out of her chocolate bun.]

And it might. Maybe we could eat some bread and take some back with us instead. Kaoru-chan and I were able to put clothes into a big box and take it with us. It could work with the bread?

Food that's gray and tastes gross can't be healthy, either! And there's rice, too.

[A well-balanced meal in that the starch balances out the additional starch.]

We can take things back with us? That makes it even better!

[Finally, a real purpose to this place! Keigo shoves the rest of his bun in his mouth to start looking for something to carry a pile back with them.]

I like bread but sometimes you need to have vegetables too. And meat. [She’s turning into Minamoto, help.

Once he starts looking though, Shiho follows along, taking small bites of her own bun because she’s not going to shove that whole thing in her mouth. She’s a lady.]

Maybe a big box? Or a big tray? [Would a tray work? Well, there’s only one way to find out, right?]

[As they venture into "employee-only" areas, even though they haven't seen a single other person in the school, Keigo still feels like the heavy hand of a teacher or principal is going to clap down on his shoulder at any second.

He doesn't find anything behind the counters. If this was built from his memories, maybe he should have looked there more often.

But "big tray" makes him think of something and head back around to where they started.]

These slide out!

[When he pulls on one of the shelves displaying food, it glides along a track and right into his hands. They have a mode of transportation. They'll just need a little balance to carry back as much as possible.]

[Shiho doesn’t have that same worry. After all, she’s used to being able to smile and charm her way to anywhere she wanted. That and she could always count on Aoi to teleport her out of there if needed. It’s much emptier than she would have expected, but maybe he doesn’t really come back here. Well... if needed maybe they could borrow someone’s school bag.

Or so she thinks then he takes one of the display shelves right out from the front.]

Huh. That might work. [They could try it, at least. And no matter what, at least Shiho had already had her chocolate bun.]

[After some awkward balancing and sliding of buns while trying to use one hand to hold the tray and the other to grab food, Keigo finally just braces it against his stomach and points himself in Shiho's direction.]

Load me up!

[boys are so weird]

Roger that~

[Which is what she does, one hand holding the bun she’s still munching on while the other starts loading his tray with buns and other carb-heavy foods.]

[Keigo looks at the growing pile warily, wondering if he's going to be able to keep them all on the tray as they walk back through the school. No, he can do it! This is in the name of delicious food with color and few health benefits!]

When we get back, do we keep this all to ourselves or do we share?

Seeing as how Rin is giving away food for free, I think we should share. [Which she thinks is not at all nice of her, so no one mention anything about it.

As soon as she’s loaded up the tray enough, she takes the other end of it to help with his balance.]

Ready?
