Something about delicious pancakes?

[seekerofjustice]

Is there something in particular about pancakes? I've been told it's an 'inside joke' of sorts, but I seem to be out of the loop. Could someone enlighten me on this?

I mean I do enjoy them, but I wouldn't go as far as to say they're my favorite food or such. I'm not even certain I have a favorite food.

It just seems so strange, as though I should know, and yet I have no idea in the slightest what this could be referring to.

Any clarification would be helpful.

Are you bargaining with me?

[He doesn't particularly want to explain it, even less so in public.]

As someone has already pointed out, you really don't want to know.

[seekerofjustice]

Ah, so it seems that was a poor move in this case.

Perhaps that was insensitive, my apologies. It wasn't my intent to do so.

However, you must understand that I can't stand not knowing. It's something I should remember, isn't it? And yet I don't. I want-- need to correct that.

I'd rather know the truth as painful as it may be than continue living in a blissful lie.

He's saying this about pancakes, good grief...

[Ugh. Ughughughughugh.]

Perhaps it's cruel of me to withhold knowledge from you, of what may be your own memories.

By the look of it, that same someone has already given you a summary. Believe me, it is not a memory I cherish.

At all.

I understand why. I don't quite remember it, but I some feelings are returning to me, at least. I can't explain them, but they're unpleasant.

But they're necessary. These feelings are mine, just as that memory is. I want to keep them, even if it's painful.

Thank you, Magpie.

As I promised, I'll tell you what little I know about the sender. Overall it's not a lot of information, but they said something about how their joke made their friend 'hate' pancakes which, in hindsight, presumably means their friend is a version of us.

If there was any doubt that it was a version of Amamiya-san or Kurusu-san, then I believe we've gotten the closest we can to confirmation that it's one of them. After all, I believe they tend to be the person that is closest to a 'friend' we tend to have in any given timeline?

[Huh. He blinks at the message for a moment.]

You didn't have to share that with me. I didn't tell you anything, after all.

[seekerofjustice]

Perhaps not, but it felt wrong of me to withhold the information after that. Besides, as I said, this mystery seems to be one that's important to you... just as the mystery I was pursuing was for me.

So in a sense, I still believe we're even.

I do hope this information helps you even slightly.

[pancakeboy]

[Hmmn. Goddammit.]

Thank you, Dove.

Let me know if I can help you with any other memories.

[seekerofjustice]

I'm glad to be of help. And thank you, I'll consider it in the future should something specific arise.

Don't hesitate to approach me as well, should you need my assistance by chance.
