Urufu leaned over on his side . "So, what are your plans?"

'Plans? I wouldn't call them plans . ' "Dunno, man," Yukio said . "We don't know what it's like in the downstream world . Going to school I guess . "

Advertis.e.m.e.nt "If Nakagawa listened at all, yeah, you're going to school al-right . Different schools for a year . If Himekaizen is still there in that world they should group you together there for high school . "

She smiled . "I'm having kids . " Then she sat upright . "Not at once! Yukio, I didn't mean it that way . "

"Ten years or so . Then if he still wants . . . "

"I do," Yukio interrupted . "I'll look like fourteen, but I'm your husband since long enough for you to know . " Kyoko's words had hurt a little, but he knew how much she longed, and he also knew her fears of restarting their lives . "Urufu, what do you do when you're scared?" he asked to change the topic .
