[Hifumi knows saying that won't change the guilt Doppo will feel, but it still needs to be said. Doppo simply isn't at fault for any of this and he will remind him every day if he has to. He hated that he even has to admit any of this, knowing that this will hurt Doppo to hear. Doppo wouldn't ever leave him alone for this long by choice. Best friends since they were kids, and always there for each other no matter what.]
It's this place... It does strange things with people. [More stuff he would rather not have to explain, but it was too important not to.] Sometimes people who know each other come from a different time, like their past or future. Sometimes people leave and return with memories of their time here, and sometimes without those memories.
[And it's clear as day which category Doppo falls into, but Hifumi didn't mind at all.]
Making chroma is also new and weird, but moonlacing isn't a bad concept. Making money from something as simple as patting someone's head... No one should ever have to be touch-starved. People as a whole learning to open themselves up to touch is really beautiful, I think. [He gives Doppo's arm a little squeeze.] And you might especially like it since it makes jobs unnecessary.
