[It is indeed a day, and a day as good as any to get a private memory.

...Oh. Oh! That's fine. That's not worrying at all.

Doctor slips out of his dorm without a word to anyone in Heart Soldier. He's at his clinic for his regular work hours, although he's so lost in thought that he won't notice anyone enter until they speak directly to him.

For the rest of the day, he wanders between the various parks of Tokyo-F, similarly preoccupied enough to walk directly into someone. Once again, this is probably fine.

The last park on his route is the Dead Zone, where he'll stay well past dark.]

[ Newly scar-free and in the middle of yanking her rope dart dagger out of a tree trunk -- oh, look. Aliza calls out to Doctor, but is... ignored? That doesn't seem right, so she's less offended than concerned. So she coils up her rope dart and scoops up her violin case and takes off after him. Doesn't matter how far ahead he got, she's incredibly fast. ]

[ When she catches up a second later -- suddenly a vampire at his side, surprise! -- she doesn't touch him just in case. This place loves its little cruelties and they can be jarring such that a sudden unexpected hand on the shoulder can be more of a shock than a comfort. ]

You seem a little lost. [ Not physically, of course. ]

[happydreamed]

[Probably a good call, there. Even without the physical contact, he still nearly jumps when she speaks.]

Ah! ...How long have you been there?

[Did not notice her at all, sorry.]

[sangreine]

[ For once, she won't take it personally. He seems off for sure, and she knows what that's like. ]

Long enough to say that. Sorry if I startled you.

[happydreamed]

No, there's no need to apologize. I'm simply too much in my head today.

[sangreine]

Mm. [ It's a thoughtful sound, because who hasn't been there? ]

Would you prefer to be alone? [ As not great as she is with rejection, this doesn't feel like that. She doesn't cope well on her own, that doesn't mean no one could. ]

[Text incoming a while later:]

hurricane: hey

[happydreamed]

[Ah. Just the person he'd been most afraid of disappointing.]

Dr. Doctor: Hello.

[crossmyheartandhope]

hurricane: how u doing?

[happydreamed]

Dr. Doctor: If I say fine, will you believe me?

[crossmyheartandhope]

hurricane: i mean
hurricane: probly not?

[bondsofsuffering]

[He was heading to the dead zone for perfectly innocent reasons and huh. Why's Doctor here.]

Were you planning to go up?

[happydreamed]

[Oh, it's Izanagi. He... has a little bit of context about his strong opinions before, and none of it makes him feel better about either that or the context.]

Not exactly. That looks like a terribly tiring climb.

[bondsofsuffering]

It can be, but there's some interesting stuff up there if you're willing to do it.

[Walking over and plonking down next to him.]

What's up?

[happydreamed]

...I owe you an apology, I believe.

[bondsofsuffering]

...For...?

[inspiteful]

[ Let's just say Doctor accidentally walked into this one. He's only a little shorter than the man, anyway. ]

Wha--!

[happydreamed]

[Doctor's not used to people being shorter than him tbh.]

Oh - oh, I apologize. Are you alright?

[inspiteful]

[ Only by an inch! ]

I'm fine. But are you alright? You seem kind of out of it.

[happydreamed]

Ah, well... You know how it is with memories.

[Sometimes you just dissociate for a few hours and it's fine.]

[inspiteful]

...Remembered something not great, huh?

[forgottenmercy]

[was practicing his dancing in one of the parks, and is graceful and fast enough to step out of the way.]

Are you, ah, alright...?

[happydreamed]

Oh - I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I'm fine, just... [Well, there's not much point in denying it.] Memories, you know.

[forgottenmercy]

They, ah, can be...difficult.

[happydreamed]

Indeed. ...I didn't wish to bother my unit overmuch, so here I am.
