let's go through your memories

“I’m sorry to say this,” Fukuzawa starts, “when it’s been so soon. But I discussed with Mori and we had an idea.”So they’re putting him back in the field already. Without his partner at that; they’ll try to find someone else he’s drift-compatible with and send him out again. Doppo reminds himself this isn’t them abandoning Osamu, that it’s just a necessity with how many Kaiju have been showing up recently and a precaution until his partner can get back on their feet. And they will get back up, be able to walk and stand and drift and fight and laugh and tease and annoy Doppo like usual.“I understand. Are we going to go through some sort of try-outs?”“Not exactly. Mori has someone in mind that we’d like you to drift with.”“One person? It can’t be that certain that we’ll be able to pilot together.... Who is this?”“You’ve heard of him: Nakahara Chuuya.”
