[The rabbit will shuffle up to him with nose twitching and sniff at his fingers. He's friendly!]

So it happens a lot, then? You can take him out if you want.

[!! Friendly rabbit. Matt smiles and scratches the bunny's nose.]

I don't want to disorient him. It's the second time I've seen it happen. Ken got a hamster.

[Tono twitches that nose and shakes his head quickly! But he will continue to sniff at Matt's fingers.]

Lots of tiny animals for you to play with, then.

... If the rabbit's from the time in the memory I got, he's going to want food.

[Cute. Very cute.]

Do you have vegetables? Maybe lettuce or peppers?

Yeah. I've got plenty of lettuce. [He decides to just throw out the ruined papers, gathering them up and moving to the kitchen area where he shoves them into the trash and turns to open the fridge. Apparently he has lettuce but as can be expected of a guy who skips meals, there isn't much in there. He'll just take a few seconds to wash the vegetable and get some leaves and bring them over on some paper towels.] Here.

[.... Matt gestures to the rabbit. It's yours. Feed it.]

[You looked like you wanted to. He will do so though, tearing one of the leaves into smaller pieces and sticking them through the bars. Tono will chew on them contently.]

[It's still your rabbit.]

Agreeable, huh?

I guess so... [He will feed his new charge dutifully.] Tono though. The Lord, huh? what a rabbit.

He's a pretty nice rabbit. He's not really skittish or anything.

Mmm. [He has no idea but he likes the rabbit.] You know anything about caring for rabbits? I've never had a pet.

I can look it up. It can't be hard, right?

I don't think so. I can look stuff up, too.

[He sighs and shakes his head.] Geez, I'm lucky this apartment allows pets. Most of my family's got allergies so it's not like I would've been able to ask any of them. At least it's the rabbit instead of that weird girl he was talking to...

I've never heard of anyone echoing back a person... [A long, long beat.]

I sure as hell hope no one can echo a person.

I sure hope so too, but. It wasn't a person. She was like, living in his computer? He was talking to some girl floating inside his computer screen.

... Think that still counts as people? I remember a robot girl, too.

I hope so because I'd rather not echo back a girl who's going to start calling me "Master." I don't want that. I don't need that.

You led some strange sorta life, Shintaro Kisaragi. Computer servant girls...?

Computer servant girls, playing video games, rabbits, and cosplayers with guns.

[He opens his mouth.

Closes his mouth.

Pats Shin on the shoulder in solidarity.]

[Thanks friend. He nods his thanks and feeds more lettuce to the rabbit, but he looks like he's thinking.]

But it looks peaceful enough. Nothing so far's looked destroyed or messed up. Just the first one.

If there's anything that can get echoed back... a healthy body would be nice, for one of the guys I share memories with.

Be careful what you wish for. [What if the guy's body isn't human? What if he's sicker or younger or older?

Matt shakes his head.]

[He laughs a little. But he drops that subject and leans to peer at the rabbit instead, a hand on his cage.]

I wonder if he remembers the other Shintaro. He probably does, huh? Poor guy probably has no idea what's going on.

Maybe. I guess it depends on if he's got memories...

I think if I didn't have memories and suddenly appeared in a strange apartment with two humans staring at me I would still be scared.
