"Leave a message please."
it's cute that ur playin dumb with me, 'cause uh
[If Rex hadn't cemented earlier that he was a complete nuisance, well...
He scrolls upwards in their chain if messages and sends Anakin a screenshot. Look, the boy hacked his way into the Pentagon's security systems at fifteen, he can manage this. The douche sort of stopped trying after Robot wanted to take all the credit for being the smart one.]
u asked me what a keg stand was, so that can't be it
but as far as i can tell, the "last car" was either the sexy time car or big booby grab car and y'know what?
i should probably apologize, ahaha
since i was bein a teeeeeny tiny bit
redundant
with my wording, there, maestro
[THE WORST!!!! HE IS THE WORST!!!!!!]
so, who'd ya pork? oink oink lolol (🐷)
don't tell me it's the old man
[NOOOO!!!!!]
tho u do kinda strike me as someone who'd be ❤️🔥hot 4 teacher ❤️🔥
is that what he is 2 u?
i kno he's no spring 🐔
but he looks a lil 2 young 2 be ur real dad

[The message that comes in takes Anakin on a journey. A face journey. A mental journey. Jedi don't discuss matters of love or sexuality because they're irrelevant- things that they aren't supposed to engage in and as a result, never come up. The clone army he's stationed with call each other 'brother' so there's no casual dialogue there either. The closest it'd come was seeing the pinups painted on Republic ships and the one that was absolutely of Padme.
He tries to follow the train of thought but spends at least half of that time recoiling to a mental chorus of no no no. And then embarrassment slides into sputtering indignation that someone could possibly impinge Obi-Wan's virtue. Of all people.]
I don't have a father
[Unfortunately, George Lucas decided virgin births would be cool in his space epic]
And I wouldn't tell you anyway
Maybe they don't want to remember.
[They]
Maybe they're embarrassed
Or maybe they regret it

yeah? well
i had two and they both got me fucked me up
trust me, ur not missing out on much
[This may, hilariously, seem like Rex had two shitty gay dads who were a couple... But he had two separate father figures in succession, unrelated. One biological and the other a mentor.]
bro did u nut on a pic of "their" dead grandpa or what
look, man, shit happens! sometimes people are too damn sexy for their own good, ok
[??????????]
just take it in ur weird space culty stride and uh
don't ruin any family photos next time

Anakin
Did you see the conductor's messages? About the possibility of maintaining the bonds with people on the train?

[He's not sure what he's thinking, because yeah, the conductors said that. They also confirmed that they're passengers just like everyone else. Once again, Anakin's desire to trust wars with his ability to actually do so.]
I did
What do you think?
I did
What do you think?
Honestly I think they're incompetent cretins and there'll be some ridiculous side effect no matter what.
But with everything they've made possible so far, I don't want to dismiss the notion just yet.

So you
You want to remember me? Is that what you're saying?
You want to remember me? Is that what you're saying?
well
I'd like to do more than just remember. If there's a chance to.
[If he'd still have her. They had agreed to stay together while they could, but asking for more than that might encroach on borders best left untested.]

Are you seriously making me spell it out?
Do you want to spend more time together or not?

Of course I want that! I just thought
I thought you wanted to go back
[The unspoken hangs there: I thought I had to be ready to let you go.]

I do but
Listen if what they're implying is true, then maybe nothing is permanent. We might be able to come back.

[Might be able to come back she says, and Anakin, who always had to climb into a ship and go away, feels a fist wrap around his ribcage.]
You'd let us come with you?
You'd let us come with you?
[Frankly speaking, the idea that they might come with had never crossed her mind. She assume she'd dive back in, bury the dead and save who was left, then scramble to return to the train on her own. Her world, her mess. But then—]
Wait, you'd want to?
Sorry. I assumed you had Jedi matters that would take precedence, but if you're able and willing? We could use the help. Truly. You've seen it, it's a shitty situation.
And I would be grateful to have you at my side.

We do have things to do
[A beat, before he remembers again that 'we' is truly just he, this Obi-Wan is still from his future.]
That is, I do have Jedi matters, of course.
But I wouldn't leave you to face something like that alone.

Are you sure you can leave them for much longer?
[Written before she remembers. Toko swears out loud and types in a furious flurry.]
Forget I said that I forgot there's some weird time things going on. Maybe no time has passed at all at home. Some of the people here went back and returned to the train without issue, so maybe it'll be the same for the rest of us?
Sorry I'm just blabbering now but you really don't have to feel responsible or anything, I was facing it with a friend before so it's not alone. Not that I would say no if you wanted to come of course, I meant what I said.
[Oh my god just shut up put the phone down PUT IT DOWN.]

I want to come with you. I want to keep you safe.

[excuse her she had to go bury her reddening face in her hands for a moment]
This is so unfair
How is it that I'm only getting to meet you now?

I guess the galaxy's a bigger place than anyone thought.
So who are we going back for?
What do you want to do?

What an understatement.
It's going to sound so stupid but please bear with me.
The city I was in with Komaru has been under attack from Monokuma, which are those bear robot things, which were made to slaughter all the adults. [uuuuuuugh] There is a master controller that could be deactivated, but it's also a trigger that will set off bombs attached to every child in the city. It was a set up, we were being led to believe we'd save everyone getting rid of it but it would just make us the figureheads of a new wave of Despair. We need to find a way to disarm both the bombs and the robots safely.
And in the meantime, three of my classmates are trapped in another killing game in a separate location. One of them is being set up to die for certain, the rules are rigged because they survived the last game.
If I don't go back to the same point in time, it might be too late to save anyone. There's no way they'd last months alone.

[It was horrible enough to contemplate when she'd been sparse with details- long before he'd found himself in her memories, and long before he learned about the fate waiting at the end of the Clone War. Anakin nods as he reads along, grim with understanding- but instead of picturing it as an outside observer, he prepares now with the knowledge that they'll be leaping into the thick of it.]
So we'll need to negate the bombs and the robots before we go in for your friends? Or do you think we'll be able to pry them out first?

I'm honestly not sure which is the safest bet. But Towa City was already my responsibility, and Komaru is alone there.
Do you have some idea how to work with programming and robotics?
[She'd had a flash of something like it while drifting in his head. Just not enough to be sure.]

Sheesh you really are Mr. Perfect, huh?
