[ It's not like Souji hasn't thought of that before. He knows that when he goes home and leaves Johto, he just might forget everything about here. It's not unusual. He has so many friends come and go, leave and return without remember a single thing about this world; not remembering the times they have spent together or that they have even been friends. He knows that and just thinking about it pains him. ]

[ Does that mean what he's trying here is for nothing? That he should just give up? Should he just close down his centre, lose contact with everyone, forget about that stupid cup of coffee? Should he just go back to the way he was before Inaba, doing the exact same thing? After all, this place... ]

[ It's just like back home, always moving from one place to another. ]

[ But if this place is somewhere he can enjoy just like in Inaba, that doesn't matter, and if that has taught him anything, it's just that. ] It's not a waste of time. Even if I'll forget, the time I spend here is still true.

My bonds with everyone is still strong with everyone even... [ Even if it's always him listening. Even if it's always him the one taking on the burdens. Even if it's always him trying to act so strong like he's some kind of hero. Even if all that, those bonds are still something to him. ]
