[There's no particular reason Satoru chose audio over video. Despite how young his voice is, the adult in him is coming through in how tired he sounds.]

I bet I'm not the only one that event was kind of hard for. Even thinking things might have turned out that way makes me want to...

[He trails off without actually saying what it makes him want to do.]

But I'm sure it could have been worse.

[He pauses.]

So...what's the worst event you've been through?

Um, there's an explanation for that. I don't remember it happening, and it was a couple years ago, so I think I'm pretty far removed from it. And um, also once we're done talking about it, I'll forget about it until I see it in my notebook again, so I think worrying about it has nothing to do with me.

That makes sense, I guess. Does that make bad events easier, since you don't remember them afterward?

...sometimes. It's nice not remembering the bad times and since events don't come back I don't have to worry about them happening again, but there's also things I'd like to know without having to relearn them every time. Like we're not supposed to die five times, but without my notes I can't remember how many times it's happened. And um, sometimes important things can happen during bad events. Like the chess game. But I don't remember those so I have to rely on my notebook to keep track of when things like that happen. But depending on the event, I can't always do that either.

[Well that's incredibly inconvenient.]

That would be really hard. What do you do when your notebook gets full?

I start a new one and use the first few pages to reference the older notebooks. I have a few of them in my room. Or at least my notebook says I do.

Do you like...keep sticky notes around your room to remind you of stuff?

I do. Did someone tell you about that?

Oh, no. I just thought that'd be the easiest way to remind you of some things.

Oh. It's a good guess then! According to my notebook, my room here and my room back home is covered in post it notes.

What happens if something happens to the post-it notes? Do you have a back up?

[He feels kind of bad for asking all this, because she's probably explained it a zillion times to people. But she also probably doesn't remember that, so he doesn't feel that bad.]

I'm not sure. I've never really thought about it.

[Or if she did, she forgot.]

I guess my sticky notes are my backup for my notebooks and my notebooks are the backup for my sticky notes?

[This is a bad system.]

[Not like he can think of an alternative for her.]

I...guess that's unavoidable.

I know it's not the best system, but it's the only one I've got. I haven't been able to figure out anything that works better.

It's obviously worked for you for a while, so I guess there's no rush to make any changes.

That's right. And um, rushing a change would be bad. Especially if it doesn't work.

Yeah, it'd probably just confuse things even more.
