[The video feed starts with showing Cube, he definitely not a dog anymore. He fidgets for a bit before waving to the screen]

H-Hello, Discedo...

I'm sorry if anyone was worried about me. I-I'm fine. ~~I think...~~

I- ... I guess I'll be coming home... soon.

Oh!
and thank you, little bird...

[Locked to Eirin Yagokoro | Hackable]
Sensei, I... I really wish to speak with you.... and get a check-up if possible.

I'm sorry for missing work but... I can explain when I get there.
Though, I ahve a feeling you already know...

Oneechan... Saburo-san...

There's something important I need to speak to you about. I'm going to the hospital but I'll be back.

I miss you both.

(ooc note: Thanks to Chocobo, Cube remembers he's not a dog anymore. Mistletoe comment logging open! Cube will be traveling from Horton to the Hospital... so comment logs can happen at eithor place (Or in between...?) I hope this won't be confusing. I didn't want to make 2 or more posts in one day... Also, strike isn't there.)

[Shinjiro had staggered into the apartment about an hour ago and collapsed like a dead weight on the couch. He hadn't been sleeping much the past few days-- hell, the past few weeks, and he passed out within seconds of hitting the couch cushions. His limbs were splayed, face pressed at an awkward angle into the sofa... and he was sleeping like the dead.]

[Cube paws over and looks at Shinji. He wasn't sure how he'd tell him who he really was... although he was grateful for everything Shinji had done, there was just no way Cube could continue this way forever...

that thought along depressed him. He was happy to remember but...

Somehow it was hard to decide if he should stay or not...

... but he knew he couldn't. Even after all that had happened to Shinji int he past few weeks. Cube just couldn't stay. Maybe he should jut leave before he wakes up. Then, he can explain later... sometime.

He stepped away, to the other side of the room and a golden line of light sparkled around him, and he changed back.... only to fall face forward onto the floor. Whoa. Having two legs again was WEIRD!]

Ch ch ch ch!

[Shinjiro scowled in his sleep as light flared through the apartment. It wasn't enough to wake him... but at the 'ch ch ch ch' sound, he sprang up wildly and jammed one hand into his pocket. He had the gun half-out before he really -looked- at the intruder.

That person sprawled on the floor... that was Anemone's friend, Cube. What the hell was he doing here? Shinji blinked and shoved the gun right back into his coat, then tried to rub the sleep out of his bloodshot eyes. His beanie was tilted at an almost comical angle, and half of his hair was hanging out, poking in various directions.]

...this some kinda joke? Anemone put you up to this?

[Slowly looking around... wait a minute, where was his dog?]

N-No-no! I-I was j-just... I mean....

...

I didn't mean to wake you, Danna-sama- I-I- MEAN SHINJIRO-SAMA I I- MENA- I-

[Insert epic flailing]

Yo-You see- I just- I was just-

I-I'm sorry!!

The hell...? Slow down, I'm not that pissed off about--

[His words trail off as his brain kicks in. He stares at Cube for a long moment. Lines of confusion slowly gather at his forehead. That voice. It's so familiar... and 'Danna-sama?' No one ever calls him that except the--]

No way. No fuckin' way. You're-- But that's impossible...

[His ears drooped and he looked away from Shinji, although it's rude not to look at the person you're speaking to but- GD this was weird]

I-I didn't know... I mean... I told you I had forgotten and - and I remembered who I was just... a little while ago... I-I'm sorry.

Don't tell anyone, please? I don't want everyone to know I can change into a dog...

So... so it's true. You really are Fireball.

[At first he was thinking 'this has to be a joke,' and a bad one. But the truth settled in like a punch to the gut. His dog was really a person. Even if that meant 'Fireball' hadn't really disappeared, that's what it felt like. Sad and bitter just like that. He couldn't even keep a dog.]

Look... [And that came out heated, pissed off... he tried to control his voice a little.] If that's how it is, it isn't your fault...

[This was so damned awkward. Shinjiro looked away, too, even if Cube was already doing that.] I won't say anything. Just... get going. People were looking for you.

[He looked at Shinji, pained... he can hear the pain and... sensed it somehow. Perhaps it was his days close as a Dog with Shinji...]

Shinjiro-san... I...

I know they are but...

... what about you...?

[His shoulders tensed up at Cube's tone. Something about it bothered him... too familiar, like the demon could read him too well. Did they know each other now? Suddenly it occurred to him... he'd shown that dog all the personal feelings he normally kept away from others, even the few closest to him. That... he couldn't deal with that right now.]

It doesn't matter... just get outta here.

... R-right.

[Cube made his way to the door, glancing back at the slumped body upon the couch. He wanted to cry... it was so painful... like he was betraying his Master, but he wasn't! He didn't want to say goodbye because he didn't really wish to leave. Cube's heart ached, and as he pulled the door closed behind him, Cube's hand sat on the handle a moment while he stood there in thought.

Why did it have to be this way?]
