003 — handwritten [graph paper]
[ July 1st.
This time, Banagher's number is copied down on graph paper. What appears isn't anything handwritten, but a rough technical sketch. An empty jumpseat of some kind, crowned by three screens and what looks like an impossibly advanced panoramic HUD. The rest is left sparsely detailed — no buttons, concrete controls, or clues as to what this cockpit (what else could it be?) belongs to. Save for the odd one-on-one occasion, he's been tight-lipped about what exactly has splashed itself uninvited across his memories, never knowing for sure what to trust when it came to himself. Never quite believing he could have been this... thing's pilot.
Off to the side, around some messy notes, is a scrawled out line of text in another language: À mon seul désir. There's a poetic ring to it, nearly romantic.
It's odd, placed next to a piece of technology so futuristic. ]
It's weird. I had to wrack my brain to remember this thing enough to put it on paper, even if I can't forget it. [ A pause, possibly to tap his pencil. ] If you asked any kid when they were younger what they wanted for their birthday, a giant robot probably ranked pretty high, right? Not so much when you're 18, though. When things like this aren't even supposed to be real...
[ Let alone crazy brain powers. At least he was getting used to those. And more importantly: ]
...it could have come with a better name.
[ Which he is hoping like hell wasn't his doing. ]

[how very concise of you, haruka]
I didn't say anything about hope, though. What are you withholding, Banagher?
no subject
Withholding? Nothing! I can't withhold something I don't even know anything about.
no subject
It's okay to have thoughts, you know.
And it's okay to share them. [-with her]

Banagher. You're being extra touchy; that's how know I'm right, so just tell me what's going on already? I won't tell anyone else, if that's your issue.

That thing wasn't my desire. Someone else made it. I was supposed to be its hope.
[ Shouldering a desire was easy. Shouldering a hope, on the other hand... ]
