[There's a really confused Zangyack soldier who has his hair down because there's mysterious bruises on his neck]

What just happened?

[blueondeck]

Who are they?

[pussyfortono]

Marvelous is your boyfriend. Chiaki is mine.

[blueondeck]

Why would your boyfriend be kissing my neck...

[pussyfortono]

It is a bit complicated.

[blueondeck]

I'm listening.

[pussyfortono]

There is impulse control and then there are the feelings you two have for each other.

[blueondeck]

I don't get it.

[pussyfortono]

There are feelings, that is all you need to understand really.

[blueondeck]

Okay. Who's Marvelous?

[pussyfortono]

Captain of the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaigers.

[blueondeck]

A captain... he's a pirate.

[pussyfortono]

He is also a person beyond being a pirate.

[blueondeck]

..... Is he the one in the red coat?

[pussyfortono]

Yes, that is him.

[blueondeck]

... and you're saying I'm in a relationship.... with him?

[pussyfortono]

Yes.

[blueondeck]

[..... you're obviously telling the truth but...]

I don't see how.

[pussyfortono]

Things change. People change. That is the nature of moving forward and living your life-- any life. There are roads that we go down that we never expected to travel upon. In the end, you are changed but you are still who you are.

In this future, in the here and now, you are still Joe Gibken.

[blueondeck]

A master swordsman who is friends with the enemies of the Zangyack. A man who can talk to women and have relationships with a lot of different people. That person doesn't sound like Joe Gibken.

[pussyfortono]

Because right now, the Joe Gibken that you are is very different from the present.

We take these steps, Joe. And when we look back we wonder how we got this far. For you, right now, it is different because you have no recollection of the steps you have already taken.

[blueondeck]

... Thanks for giving me a room.

[pussyfortono]

It is fine.
