Hi... This is Fubuki. There's something I wanted to ask you.

........

[ He replays the message just to make sure he didn't hear wrong and when the words don't magically change he replays it a third time. ]

What is it?

[Now that he's actually gotten this far, he hesitates.]

A few days ago...you mentioned you couldn't remember things sometimes? Is that because...

[He trails off, because that's the kind of thing that would be dangerous to ask a fellow shinki, but the fact that Zero does have trouble remembering things when he's supposed to be a god now is what Fubuki's curious about.]

Er. You said you were used to it?

[ .........

Zero goes quiet on his end. Had it been a god he would have terminated the call immediately, but it's a shinki. Like Ichiru, like he used to be. It's difficult for him to turn his back on them even when it exposes him. He's never spoken to anyone of what happened, so it's with great reluctance that he replies a few minutes later. ]

It was a coma.

[ Or so they told him, lied to him. ]

[Oh—]

Sorry, I shouldn't have... I didn't realize it was like that. I thought it...had something to do with the change when you became a god.

[ He knows what he thought. What he suspected. It's why he answered. Shinki's already had enough to fear. ]

It happened on my world. There was an attack on our Headquarters and...

[ He grows silent for a moment. ]

They told me it was amnesia.

[ A lie from the people he trusted the most. His memories stolen by the girl he cared for the most. Each side taking away his choice believing they knew what was best for him. ]

["They" would refer to Zero's world, so maybe Fubuki shouldn't pry about that. He's surprised Zero is opening up to this degree, though.]

It's...it sounds personal. I won't use it against you, but why tell me?

[ It's simple. ]

You're a shinki.

[That gets a slightly strained laugh. Certainly he's less of a threat as a shinki than he would be otherwise...]

[But well, aside from that initial shock... When he actually thinks about it, he doesn't think that's how Zero means it. For one thing, most people wouldn't go around talking about their pasts to people weaker than them, no matter how non-threatening.]

I'm honored...I think.

[ He hears the laugh but says nothing. He knows how it sounds like but he got it wrong, it wasn't about honor. Or trust. He simply - ]

You asked.

Yeah, I guess I did. Sorry. I'll listen to you anytime.

[Since...he did notice the lock, and assumes it was more private than it originally seemed.]

[ A look. ]

As if I'd tell you anything else.

After what you just told me, that's kind of cold.

[He probably shouldn't joke about this anymore, though.]

But, thanks. I appreciate that you did.

[ If he could glare at him through the phone he would. ]

Who's your god anyway?

[ Because it has just occurred to him that throughout all their encounters he doesn't know this vital piece of information. ]

Er—why do you want to know?

[It's not like he tries to hide it, but asking that question at this time seems kind of...weird?]

[ And just as quickly his mood plummets remembering his first encounter with him - another victim of his crimes from before he became a god. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where his thoughts have strayed too. ]

I'm not going to attack them.

Ah, no, that wasn't...

[Aaaakward.]

... Nekhbet. I wasn't assuming anything, but why do you want to know?

Does it matter?

It...

[It's not like he hasn't asked other people this same question before, himself.]

... Do you know him?

Not by that name.

[Ah...right.]

Shun Kurosaki. Actually...I don't think I got your god name, either.

Hades.

[ God of the Underworld. ]

Hades... [If he recalls correctly, Hades is...hrm. He keeps making acquaintances with gods related to death somehow. He's halfway tempted to ask Zero if he thinks it suits him, but that might be a touchy subject. Instead...]

How'd you find out?

Find out what.
