[Minato held onto his key, a familiar-looking tarot card that shone and glowed whenever he held it, day or night, and he stood on the Tenth Floor in front of the seemingly colossal, golden door adorned with large, darting eyes and barbed wire. His door. The Door.
He was able to find his key, and was told to keep it safe since it would've been stolen otherwise. It really is beneficial to have an ally or two on the other side of the mirrors.]
... Is there something behind here that we're not supposed to see?
[That is, since all these Mirrors were supposedly stealing keys. After a few moments though, he moved his lips, barely whispering, though it didn't seem like he was talking to himself.]

Part of being alive is doing everything I can for my friends.
action;
Minato was about to say something along those lines, but then he realized something, his eyes going wide for a second, just one quick second.]
... You remembered.

action;
He gave Souji's hand another light squeeze.]
... Please don't tell anyone else.
[Minato wanted to keep it a secret.]
action;
It's yours and mine.

[Minato closed his eyes, and heard that the last song in that particular playlist had just ended.]
... I need to find a way to make it up to you.
action;
[Souji will consider himself repaid if Minato can go through life here and at home without such a heavy burden on him.]
action;
[Minato sighed very softly, knowing he had to do as Souji had asked him. In a way, it was strange that he had to remember to live in that manner, as if he had forgotten how to live like that or as if he hadn't wanted to.]
action;
action;
... I feel overwhelmed.
[Maybe that. And somehow extremely vulnerable, but that wasn't the right word either. Like he had just recovered from some incurable, fatal disease and was readjusting to the world or to living.]
action;
[Souji can understand that. Everything Minato had expected for his future had just gotten turned around.]
It's okay. I'm here.
action;
[Minato really did have a reason to think about his future now, now that he had it back.]
... There's so much I want to do.

action;
I want to see my friends. Finish school. Go to Todai.
[And then there were still a million other things.]

[Souji holds out his pinkie. Making it into one of the best schools in Japan? Totally doable.]
action;
... Wait for me?
action;
action;
But what if I want to do other things?
action;
[He means that encouragingly, not dismissively.]
action;
But it's things like... going to the zoo. Eating more ice cream. Seeing where you've been.

He smiled a little to himself.]
... Souji? How much time do you think I'll have?
