Bakura had said there had been another Mu in this world. Not the ones that he had seen in those borrowed memories, though; a stranger. Mu nonetheless--Bakura called him a friend at that. As far as Soldier Blue was concerned, all Mu were friends. If not friends, at least worthy of reaching out to and protecting. Back in that far-flung future, nobody else was going to.

His mind was elsewhere when Jonah Matsuka made his arrival; another faint pulse of power with a familiar tone, much like the handful of psychics he'd encountered or sensed before. Only when that person came close--in the same building, no less--did Blue realize. He'd wanted to rush over right away, but...there was a now too-familiar cloud of cold silence accompanying him.

Why was Keith Anyan herding a Mu around-?

Floors below, Blue watched and listened. His strength and experience gave him the means to be undetected--for the most part. He had to take care not to be led in by those welcoming thoughts that would lead him to notice. It was a double-edged sword. In doing so, he was guarded, but learned nothing in exchange. Only the exterior. He could do little but speculate.

In his room as the sky grew dark, Soldier Blue sat in silence, taking a moment's pause before exhaling and sending his mind outside of himself, looking.

I-- Matsuka very nearly held his breath, trapped by sudden uncertainty. ...I don't know how much it would help. There's not much that I understand myself. But...

He bit his lip, torn between what felt like a betrayal and the small kindling of hope - Keith would hate it, if he knew, but if there were a chance for Blue to really understand, then maybe it would be worth it...

We don't have to be enemies here, right? he wondered, mental voice small and hopeful.

Matsuka wanted to believe. Perhaps it was a bad idea, a dangerous idea, a betrayal of the brittle and sharp-edged trust that Keith had given him. But even so, he wanted to believe that understanding could bring with it resolution. He'd thought, earlier, that this place was a chance - now it seemed the chance was presenting itself, and for all his misgivings, Matsuka couldn't bring himself to turn away from it.

All right, he whispered. I'll try. But-- He turned an anxious glance toward the wall, and the next room beyond it. Keith was still nowhere in evidence, but if he were to somehow get wind of this... The thought was a cold chill through Matsuka's veins.

Not - not right now. Sometime soon. Is that all right?

It was enough to have Matsuka ducking his head in vague embarrassment; he wasn't really used to being thanked.

If more people could understand each other, then maybe things wouldn't have to be... He let the thought trail off with a wistful half-smile, one that soon faded away into misgivings.

But... you might wish you hadn't asked.

The offer actually seemed to startle Matsuka a little - something else he wasn't used to. It gave him pause for a moment.

Thank you, he said presently, and smiled a little. I think... things will be all right. It was more of a wish than an assurance, really, but at least it was a start.
