[He actually is a fan of poetry, but... That's strange.]

Why are you giving me this?

[tigerpoet]

If you don't want it, you can return it and I won't be offended?

[indensity]

I'm just asking why.

[tigerpoet]

If you knew that another 'you' was a writer, wouldn't you be at least a little curious?

[indensity]

He's not me. Besides, why would you want to give me anything?

[tigerpoet]

A loan then.

Thinking you might be interested isn't reason enough?

[indensity]

Sure, that works.

Usually people have more of a reason than that.

[tigerpoet]

Well, this whole situation is unusual to begin with, so it's only fitting.

[indensity]

I guess that's true. Did you read it?

[tigerpoet]

This and his other volume of poetry. I picked this one because it made me cry a little less.

[indensity]

You cried?

[tigerpoet]

I have never claimed to be a stoic.

[indensity]

Obviously not. Guess whoever this guy is writes your kind of poetry.

[tigerpoet]

He's Chuuya. I don't think even his memorial museum calls him by his last name.

He's not you, even if your Ability's name is in here.

[Which it is, though Atsushi can't be sure if it's here or in Chuuya's other collection.]

[indensity]

So he has that in common with me, too.

You seem to know a lot about both of us.

[tigerpoet]

I know about the Ability names from Atsushi and other people from your world. I don't know what yours is or what it does, just that it probably shares a name with a poem of his.

And my world's Chuuya is my coworker. He has a way of making himself known, so even if I didn't read his poetry, I'd know a few things about him.

[Loud, angry drunk.]

[indensity]

So the guy who wrote this was your coworker?

[He's flipping through to see if he can find his ability name in there, though he won't mention it when he does.]

[tigerpoet]

We work at the same library now.

[They won't coworkers in life, but they were alive at the same time, which is more than he can say for some of the other authors.]

[indensity]

Huh. The poems are not bad.

[tigerpoet]

He's considered one of the greatest poets of modern Japan for a reason.

[As he never stops reminding people.]

[indensity]

If he's sharing my name, he should at least be that good.

[tigerpoet]

I promise you wouldn't be disappointed in his skill.

[Disappointed in other things? Probably.]

[indensity]

So far I'm not. He's got a lot of talent.

[tigerpoet]

He's a prodigy. I can't even imagine how much he'd have shaped the face of Japanese poetry if he lived past 30.

[indensity]

He died that young?
