"They say that people shrivel up because they have an imagination. So, don't imagine anything, you'll become brave as hell." quoted Charles. "My imagination has fucked with me too, man. That's some nasty shit we kinda know, especially the stray thing. I used to get called a dog and mutt and shit just 'cause I didn't know my pops or because I'm a mixed race kid. So I kinda get that shit too. And of course, facial disfigurement too. That sticks like fly paper to a pesky brain."

The graffiti Toru left on his wall was all but gone. Charles however, left one faded sentence on. As a reminder of what he had to prove, both to himself and others.

"you won't become anything, you mongrel"


But he was something. He was alive and sane. With a group of friends he trusted and could rely on and vice versa. Things were better and definitely something. So fuck him and everyone who said the same things. Charles grinned.

"Life is a lucid dream, Kyo. You can't control it, but you can make things for yourself that are nice and for a moment, make it seem like you're awake. Or maybe even better than awake, like having a wet dream or something."


Charles paused a bit and cringed mildly.

"Okay, wet dreams aren't better than being awake. But you kinda get my gist. Maybe we never wake up, but we always dream, and the dream makes us feel alive. After all, what makes dreams so good? The rush of sensations and feelings and memories. What makes life good? The rush of sensations and feelings and memories. What makes holding hands with someone you like really nice? Feelings and sensations and forming memories. What makes surfing on a penguin with a surfboard made out of bacon and tits in a dream nice? Feelings, sensations, mammaries."


Charles was now rooted in the moment. All by the positive emotions and support from all three of them. He didn't have to reach into his past for good memories right now. All the good memories he needed were right with him, headlocking him and speaking like a thug.

"I'm done for the day, man. That's enough backstory for me. The rest will come with time, both for suspense and to stop me from balling into fetal position. And besides, I got too much good feels coming from you guys too. There ain't no way in hell I gotta think back to shitty shit right now."

Best Influence.
Naoya gave a thumbs-up at Charles's statement that it was enough.

"Gotcha. I think 'm goin' t' be able t' get outta here come t'morrow. But f'r now, I think I'd better sleep...don't mean t' kick you out, 'r anything, but...uh...y'know. Coma ain't a terrible...terribly restful thing t' be in, ironically."

He smiled at his two friends.

"Thanks f'r comin' by t' visit. Hope t' see both o' you at th' forge fairly soon...need t' get that whole business back on track, 'm thinkin'."

"...does this clockwork hand follow you... or guide you?"
The green-haired girl seemed to be paying rapt attention to Charles's little speech, and seemed to be taking it seriously... right up until she stiffled a snort when the word mammaries slipped in. That was one thing she liked about Charles: anyone could say a lot of shit, but Charles had the gift of being able to say a lot of shit and hold your interest while doing it. Oddly, of all the professions Kyo pictured Charles one day taking, "teacher" was the one she pictured him doing best at. If he ever became one of those, Kyo was sure his students would almost unanimously love him.

"Yeah, I can imagine," Kyo sighed in a somewhat flat voice to Naoya's declaration that he needed to get some actual sleep under his belt., the obvious irony being in her continued use of the word imagine. Kyo pushed herself off the bed, and dusted off the seat of her pants.

"Sleep sounds pretty good, actually," she said mildly. "Think I'll head home and catch a nap. Stay chill, Charles. And I know I've already said it but... it's good t' have ya back, Naoya."

Charles smiled. He smiled a large smile that could reach out for a mile for a while. Right now, he felt every good memory he had with all of his friends old and new rush through his veins and out of his face, causing all the muscles to form into the curve of happiness that he let define his being. This was why he was still alive, despite the injuries he had sustained. His stomach started to burn with a fire of youthfulness and exuberance, created by the matches and gasoline of camaraderie and the kindling of memories. The injuries he had sustained seemed to feel a lot better now as well, as he could feel the burns and his ribs start to ease from pain. But unfortuately, he couldn't celebrate in here. Naoya was tired as fuck, just like he was after his own coma. He tapped Naoya on the back when he said he was tired, giving him a reassuring pat in payback for the huglock.

"Alrighty, man! Call us when you get outta here! You're gonna wanna go on an eatin' spree once you're up and about, trust me! And eat we will. But yeah, man. Get some rest, we got asses to kick and girls to chase, lady killer."
said the excited teen, snapping and pointing to his bed ridden companion. "It's good that you're back."

In contrast to his green-haired compatriot, his energy was peaking right now. He had to definitely go do something that expended lots of energy or else Torako would be walking funny for a few days again. Today was fairly sunny, going from the sun coming from the window now.

"Well, you take shit easy, aight Kyo? I'll see you around. You and Hiroko oughta eat somethin' sometime with me and Tiger and shit."


He walked over to Naoya's window and popped it open, hopping down to the ground. Today was a good day. Maybe it was a football day or something.
