[He shakes his head with a somewhat apologetic smile appearing on his face.]
It's something from my world... something that is capable of granting wishes, but... Even if it will change something it will affect only in my world...
Ahhh, I don't know everything about it either, but from what I understood it's like- [Wait. Ruca is from a fantasy-RPG-like world. He probably won't get if he simply says 'it's like the code that makes up the world'.]
Yeah. Though, I have to admit we didn't have much knowledge regarding that back home, but I'm studying to become a doctor, so I've read about DNA a lot here. [He trails off.
...]
...A-anyway!... If you're asking that, I'm guessing this Numeron Code is kind of like DNA?
Oh, that's good. [He smiles in relief as he goes on to explain.]
From what I have heard, the Numeron Code is like the DNA sequence of the world! The one who has it can change everything in it, and I mean everything! You can make the world anew! You can make it so that there always have been three suns, or a green sky or that people won't get sick anymore either! You can even make somebody who doesn't love you!
...What I was talking about is a little different. It's called the Manifest and it's something that can make your wish come true. You could change the world, destroy it, create a completely new one... everything is possible with it. But it's only one wish and using it isn't easy.
Well, you can't use it alone. You need two people to stand before the Manifest, but only one will receive its power. [He lets a sigh.] There are two interpretations to this condition... One says that those two people have to wish for the same thing. The other one, though... is too cruel.
[After a moment of silence, he shakes his head lightly.]
No, it's... It's not just sacrificing the other person's ideals. That second way to get the Manifest's power requires you to actually sacrifice that person.
Especially that the person you have to sacrifice has to be someone you care about. [So, not as easy as you think.] It's hard to imagine anyone could do such a thing...
Mmh, thinking of it, wouldn't this be one of the cases where it'd be better if the knowledge about it got lost? I know that the knowledge about the Numeron Code is actually like really, really, really restricted in our world, and that's why the last war about it lies really long back.
Well, you're definitely not wrong on that, haha! It's nice to see that he has some new friends here.
[ At the same time Yuma's definitely worried. What is Vector planning here? While he knows that he's been 'saved', hoping he'll change immediately is something even Yuma knows is impossible within such a short time.
Man, he's going to have to keep an eye on Vector if he is even around this area... ]
[Jude was too busy pondering the power outage and wondering if there was a way to fix it to notice the cold. He looks up toward the sound of Ruca's voice.]
[Now that Jude's attention is diverted from his thoughts he notices it this time. The abrupt drop in temperature is alarming and it sends a different kind of chill down his spine.]
Wait... did it just get cold? [That wasn't just him that felt it, right... .... Oh.] Is that what you meant?

Vector
I do. [He makes a thoughtful look.] Remember how I told you there are monsters in my world? I had to fight them a lot during my travels.
Vector
no subject
Yeah. Exactly like that. [Likable monsters? There no such a thing.]
no subject
Well, I guess you have a good reason for that. Ruca doesn't look like a guy who'd go around harming things intentionally.
[Sprinklers aside.]
no subject
If I didn't do that they would kill me instead... so it's really not like I have much choice.
no subject
I wish there was a way to stop things from being like this. They souldn't be like that!
no subject
That's exactly what I think, too. Things shouldn't be like this... but sometimes we have no other choice.
But... there might be a way to change something... [He hesitates a little, then shakes his head.] Ah, no... never mind.
no subject
No no, keep talking!
no subject
It's something from my world... something that is capable of granting wishes, but... Even if it will change something it will affect only in my world...
no subject
no subject
no subject
Do you know what a code is? Or DNA?
no subject
Yeah. Though, I have to admit we didn't have much knowledge regarding that back home, but I'm studying to become a doctor, so I've read about DNA a lot here. [He trails off.
...]
...A-anyway!... If you're asking that, I'm guessing this Numeron Code is kind of like DNA?

no subject
Is it one of those things where you have to be very, very careful what you wish for too?
no subject
Yeah, it is. But there's another thing... [His expression saddens.] You can only use it under a certain condition.
no subject
[The way his expression changes shows that he has picked up on whatever it is most likely not being any good.]
no subject
no subject
...so it's basically that you have to sacrifice one person's idea of what the future should be like to empower the other.
no subject
No, it's... It's not just sacrificing the other person's ideals. That second way to get the Manifest's power requires you to actually sacrifice that person.
no subject
[A lot easier, actually.]
...worse. It's really bad, having to do that and having it done to you!
no subject
Especially that the person you have to sacrifice has to be someone you care about. [So, not as easy as you think.] It's hard to imagine anyone could do such a thing...
[And yet they do.]
no subject
I bet there are enough who can.
no subject
As much as he doesn't want it to be true, the other is right.]
...That's why it's best if it doesn't fall in wrong hands. [He mutters that more to himself than to the other.]
no subject
Mmh, thinking of it, wouldn't this be one of the cases where it'd be better if the knowledge about it got lost? I know that the knowledge about the Numeron Code is actually like really, really, really restricted in our world, and that's why the last war about it lies really long back.
no subject
[And one of them happens to be a woman, who wishes for world's destruction.]
no subject
[Or did he get that wrong?]
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
Ah, n-no. I... [He fails at this.] A-anyway! I just remembered something! I think I should be going now...
[Trying to escape now? Well, yes.]
no subject
[Note to self: most likely family or a lover.]
no subject
[Actually she's the other part of his soul. Literally. But why was that part reincarnated as a woman - don't ask him.]
Yuma
Er... [Ruca hesitates, remembering Rei's words.] That you're his friend and that... W-well...
[Yeah, he probably shouldn't tell you what he said.] A-anyway... It seemed to me like the two of you are good friends.
no subject
[ At the same time Yuma's definitely worried. What is Vector planning here? While he knows that he's been 'saved', hoping he'll change immediately is something even Yuma knows is impossible within such a short time.
Man, he's going to have to keep an eye on Vector if he is even around this area... ]
no subject
[When does he become friends with people.]
I mean... he is really friendly... but making friends isn't that easy, right?
[...It isn't, right?]
no subject
[ YUMA. YUMA NO. But too late he already considers you a friend now. ]
no subject
...I do?
[Who? Where?]
no subject
[ Points at himself.
Yeah. ]
no subject
...
......
..........]
A-are you sure you want to be friends with me...?
[He's glad, he really is, but are you sure?]
Jude
It looks like that...
[He lets a sigh. Hopefully the power won't be out for too long.
Suddenly, Ruca looks around visibly startled. He could've sworn he felt a cold breath on his neck just now!]
Was that... only my imagination?
no subject
Huh? Your imagination?
no subject
Ah, n-no, it's nothing! Don't worry about it...
[But suddenly it gets cold again. Ruca tries to ignore it, but he sill glances around uneasy.]
no subject
Wait... did it just get cold? [That wasn't just him that felt it, right... .... Oh.] Is that what you meant?
no subject
Y-yes, that's what I meant! [So it isn't only his imagination.]
