[ Yoosung, remember who you're talking to, and where you are. Maybe Mishima had been skeptical about the whole ghost idea at first back during the power outage, but at this point, drinking hot chocolate together in a dead-dimension version of the school they'd been kidnapped to along with talking, pen-wielding birds... There aren't many theories that he'd consider wacky enough to judge someone for.
Besides, he's thought about the alternate universe theory plenty. Like he's from one timeline, and Kurusu's from another where maybe just one thing was different. Like... his own disappearance, maybe. Maybe this version of him was never supposed to be saved. ]
I mean, sure, it does sound like crazy sci-fi stuff, but... [ But "programmed to make different decisions" doesn't sound completely implausible as an explanation for the changes in the Thieves' targets. ] I don't know what method they use to change hearts, and... we're here, so who knows what's out there.
[ He goes quiet after that, without going into his own ideas, and waits patiently... with some uncertainty now. Is this personal stuff he doesn't want to talk about? Should he not have asked? I mean, they were kind of sharing some pretty personal stuff already, but...
Oh.
... ]
Oh.
[ He's not about to ask Isn't that a good thing? because even if it was, the fact that he's here now means there couldn't have been a happy ending. He doesn't want to say I'm sorry either though, because what the hell kind of response is that to someone's relationship? ]
