[ naegi doesn't understand it at first and he still doesn't completely get it but he then looks down at his feet. maybe that's what daisuke means by "fun"? ]
Oh, do you mean my shoes? They... got stolen last night.
[ Daisuke walks inside their apartment with Naegi and closes the door behind him. He looks a little unsure as to how he should go about this, but eventually finds his words and what he wants to say. ]
Remember when I turned into someone else? I thought it was normal since it happened a lot in my memories, but I thought Retrospec wouldn't give me the ability to do that. Not here.
[ ...
His face looks a bit pained as he explains. ]
I wonder... if I have the ability to change my appearance, I wonder if the personality will also eventually come.
[ naegi stays quiet as daisuke takes his time to figure out his words. he shouldn't push him, especially since naegi still feels like he's in the wrong from last night. he still needs to make up for that but they can talk about that after whatever daisuke wants to discuss. naegi didn't know what he wanted to bring up but this? talking about how daisuke might not longer be him? that's something that naegi didn't expect ]
[ the problem with retrospec is that there are no guarantees. there is nothing that guarantees that daisuke won't turn into dark completely but naegi can't say that. he can't because he has hope that things won't turn out this way ]
... Daisuke. You won't.
[ and now it's naegi's turn to reach out to hold onto daisuke's hand, gripping it ]
Remember what Retrospec said? They're trying to revert everyone to who they were in their other lives. [ that's a whole other can of worms but naegi won't touch it right now. ] Dark-- he might have been part of you but he wasn't you. You were still your own person. You won't lose yourself.
[ The hold on his hand is comforting. It really is, but he can't help but to feel this awful sense of foreboding as he thinks back to one of his memories. ]
Yeah, they did say that, didn't they...?
[ He quietly gulps and breathes out. The hand helps him stay anchored to present time so that he won't get lost in thought. ]
... I had a memory. The me there said, "we were becoming one".
[ naegi will keep his hand over daisuke's for as long as daisuke wants it and as long as this conversation keeps on going. though this next part both confuses and concerns him ]
He reached his hand out to me... It was probably the other me's dream? Because I saw Dark standing in front of me. He said that the two of us might be becoming one. It felt warm... and kind of comfortable? At least, that's what the other me thought. For me, I felt... uneasy after the memory.
[ He looks a bit worried. Did that make sense? He's not sure. ]
[ that is... a bit hard to understand, yeah, but naegi thinks he has the gist of it. he stays quiet for a bit before he speaks up again ]
... we still can't say that it'll happen though. It was a dream, right? And Dark only said "might" so it's not really reliable information to go off on.
[ that's his way of trying to stay positive. they still don't know, right? ]

Come on, let's go inside. We can't just stand in the doorway forever. And, well... I need to tell you something.
no subject
[ yeah, they definitely shouldn't keep standing here so in they go. naegi wants to get washed up but he'll hear daisuke out first ]
What is it?

I don't know if I'll keep being me.
no subject
... you think you'll become him? Dark?
no subject
[ He quietly breathes out. It's hard meeting his eyes. The floor is interesting, sure. ]
I don't want that. I want to keep being me. I just... I don't want to be someone I'm not.
