How awful, perhaps you should listen to some music to take your mind off of it. I'm awake, but may I ask who is texting me? This number isn't in my contact list.
it's josuke!! you groggy or something, dude? [ josuke u are the groggy one ]
listen to this first it's so messed up
so i'm back in morioh, right? my mom and all my friends are there. nothing out of the ordinary
only, the longer i walk around town and talk to people the more i start to realise they're all wearing one of those ... adult-sized diapers that geezers wear for some reason! every single person i talk to is in one! okuyasu and koichi, even my mom!
and when i ask them about it, they don't seem to see anything weird about it. in fact, they say it's just how it's always been?? like that's just how the entire world works? like fuck i'm going to believe that but they start looking at me like i'm the weird one for not prancing around like an goddamn adult baby
do you think my mind's going crazy or something??? or maybe it was the leftover pizza
[ But where is Morioh? And who are Okuyasu and Koichi? It's become more than clear to Jyuto that he has no idea who the hell this person texting him is, but he feels trapped in the conversation given its level of distress. ]
No, I'm not groggy. I just literally don't know who you are. They say that dreams represent what you subconscious is trying to tell you. You could look up the meaning in a dream dictionary online. Maybe that would ease your anxieties. I doubt it's anything to worry about unless all of your dreams from here on out are equally as strange. I'd pay it no mind. You shouldn't eat pizza so late at night.
[ Unwarranted health advice too. You're welcome, Josuke! ]
[ this is definitely not mista. Josuke rubs his eyes and turns on a light, shifting up into a sit. Now he's more in the frame of mind to actually pay attention to who's texting him back, and it's ... definitely not a username or number he recognises. ]
wait, who actually is this???? whoa, i really did get the wrong number, i thought you were my pal mista [ he sure did just told this random stranger about his weird diaper dream. the guy seems oddly understanding, though. ]
uh, sorry ... man. hearing all that was prob kinda freaky, huh [ and wow, this unsolicited health advice. ]
i was hungry! [ he's a growing boy he has to eat when hungry wow ]
I tried to break it to you sooner. I won't tell anyone about your dream, sOfTaNdWet. I'm sure all of us have had a strange one or fifty, so it's best not to overthink it too much.
That's all right, I'm not interested in any of that. Josuke. So you're Japanese? How old are you? [ Because he seems young... ] My name is Jyuto Iruma.
[ Well, Josuke knows of Yokohama. Jyuto certainly doesn't know of an "S City" but, it's whatever he guesses. Maybe it exists somewhere... ]
I'd imagine growing up in a small town must be nice, too. There's likely a bigger sense of community, when everyone sees each other on a regular basis, am I wrong? Naturally there are perks to the city as well, but it's all a matter of perspective. I'm sure you and your friends can visit the city on a fun day trip together.
oh yeah, we all kinda know each other. it's annoying sometimes ... you do one thing and suddenly everyone in the neighbourhood and in school are talking about it, y'know?
i got brought in by the police for some shit that wasn't my fault once. they released me, but suddenly the old ladies in the neighbourhood are lookin at me like i'm an actual criminal
It must be the only exciting thing for them to gossip about, go figure. I'm sorry you were taken in under false alarm, hopefully the police were only trying to do their jobs. There's no need to worry too much about it. Usually the more defensive someone acts post interrogation, the more suspicious the public becomes. The interest in you should pass as long as you allow it to. Take this advice from me, a police officer. ;) As for what's good in Yokohama... we're removed from it, but I think it's more a question of what's there not to love about it. I could go on and elaborate, but it might be unfun and excessive to read. Take my word for it?
that makes sense ... the police didn't give me any trouble after that, so it was all good.
you're with the police huh? my grandpa was police chief back home ... he was like the protector of our lil town, almost. when this scumbag took his life, i kinda felt like ... i had to step in and take his place. i was trying my hardest doing that until the moons dumped me here.
[ wait, that might be too much to unload on a stranger he pretty much misfired in the middle of the night. ]
... oh, sorry. didn't mean to hit you with that heavy shit. i'll go visit yokohama with my friends one day, and if we ever meet each other again i'll tell ya what i think.
[ Jyuto is reminded himself upon reading that. How he got started in the force. ]
Don't be sorry. You seem like a good kid. I'm sure your grandfather would be happy to see that you're trying to carry on his will to protect your town. I'll go back to sleep now, but you're welcome to keep texting this number in the future. Life is a lot tougher without parents to help guide you through things.
I'm sure once we're brought back home things will be exactly as we left them. Best to consider this some kind of extended, lucid dream, I think. Good night!
[ Of course, he can't actually know that. Jyuto doesn't find it productive to panic when they've apparently no influence over how long they stay. It's okay, Josuke! Your new mom is here! ]

text | un: sOfTaNdWet, in the middle of the night
just had the most fucked up dream and now i can't go back to sleep
[ this was clearly meant to go to one of Josuke's friends and not Jyuto, but he's too groggy to check usernames and phone numbers right now ]

My name is Jyuto Iruma.

oh yeah, i'm from Morioh, Japan. i'm 17 this year
no subject
Iruma-san is better since I'm your senior. ☺️
I don't think I've heard of that city. Is it smaller?
I'm from Yokohama.
no subject

i don't really leave my town much so i've never been to yokohama. living in the big city must be so cool tho ..... you get all the high-end boutiques
