[ It’s a collection of date night photos Nate had intended to send to Sachiko upon request. There is no accompanying message.

The first was a photo Light had requested their waitress take; they’re sitting on either sides of a booth. They’re both in sweaters, and they’d each intentionally positioned their hands so that their rings are visible in the photo (but they’ll both vehemently deny it’s on purpose).

The second is a photo taken outside the restaurant. A selfie of Light kissing Nate’s cheek — Nate’s face says he feels awkward about stopping for the photo.

The third is a candid shot of a 29-year-old Light Yagami, who is trying to use two forks as chopsticks to eat a mozerella stick to prove a point to Nate that had resulted from a joking debate. ]

40 is not 'old,' and eyeliner is not 'edgy'.

whats being closeted? im guessing u dont mean it literally :0

what made u pick the rings u did in the end? theyre v pretty

'Closeted' refers to someone who hides a large part of their identity that many construe as a 'bad' thing, such as being gay, because they are afraid of the social ramifications of 'coming out of the closet', or telling people about this part of their identity. It is slang.

I meant that he was adamant about being heterosexual for a long time, and insisted we were only friends. It took a lot of coaxing, but he is comfortable with it now.

Our wedding bands are plain. Solid gold. Nothing fancy. There isn't much reason for this except that I am Jewish and it is traditional. We chose the engagement rings to match in color and just chose to personal taste, I suppose.

ohhh ok

im glad hes comfortable with it now u 2 make a great couple :D

its not the same on every planet but homophobia isnt really a thing on earth anymore B)

[Kaz just has the self-awareness of a goldfish.]

[43406]

Oh. Really? When does that change?

[leopatraofficial]

not sure :/ i think its globally legalized in the 2100s to 2300s tho

[ ...oh. Three hundred more years. He can't say he's particularly... surprised, but the news it takes such a long time puts a damper on his mood. ]

These are pretty images.

[ They also deeply alienate him in the sense any picture of a happy and fulfilled life alienates him. The domestic bliss depicted feels like it's out of a movie or a commercial, not real and tangible and part of the same world Teru experiences.

... which, to be fair, it also really isn't. 2019 in a potentially different universe is hardly something Teru can call familiar. ]

The privacy breaches of this 'app' are worrisome though.

[Sorry...]

[ectoplasmfear]

Very useful, indeed.

[ Mweheheheh. ]

[ I mean, same. ]

[praeclarum]

If you say so, old man.

[43406]

Go to your room.

[praeclarum]

I'm in my room. That's where the computer is.

[Bitch.]

[43406]

A thorough grounding includes the revoking of all electronics. Put them away, whippersnapper.

[ He can’t take 16-year-old Laurel seriously after seeing him in that prom outfit. ]

[praeclarum]

You're not my dad, Gramps.

[He can't take Nathaniel seriously after learning he likes guyliner.]

[43406]

Thank you. We only took them for his mother.

[ Nate isn’t particularly a fan of taking photos, but he’ll do anything for Mrs. Yagami. ]

[43406]

I am now.

[praeclarum]

No, you're not. And if you were him, that would only hurt your case. Not help it.

[ ...Nate can feel he's walked into something he shouldn't have. Aborting. ]
