Memory - All courts - Video
It was hard enough for him, knowing that his grandmother was aware that he would die in the absence of phantoms to eat... But when she offered herself up to be turned into one in order to ensure his ability to survive, it was even worse.
She knew she'd die. Haruto had given her the speech and everything. Gates turn into phantoms when they fall to despair. He had tried so hard to keep his secret from her, he'd known that she was just going to make things even harder... But he hadn't realized it would come to this. There she was... telling the phantom to kill her.
And then Shunpei was captured and held for ransom... With her as the payment. She wanted to go. She ordered him to take her. He'd never felt so miserable in his entire life. His chest hurt just thinking about it. She was always giving of herself to take care of him... And he'd only just realized.
In this memory, he stands in front of the door of the spare room in Remnants, knocks, and pushes it open, face drawn and serious.
"Kousuke..." She says.
"Gramma..." he answers. "Let's go back to Fukui right now, okay?"
"No, Kousuke!" she yells. He jumps, hands at his side like a child... Always like that with her.
She sighs. "How shameful... Yesterday, that's all I wanted to hear. But now, it's the last thing I want to hear!"
He turns, shouting back. "I finally figured it out! How you felt... You've been worried about me this whole time. I finally get it..." He feels his eyes filling with tears, his throat tightens. "But if I lost you now... I'd be the one to fall into despair."
She starts to cry, too. "You silly boy! I would despair if you sacrificed anyone else for my sake!"
"Gramma..." He sniffles back.
"You need to get ready, Kousuke!" She insists, shaking him. "You don't want to abandon Shunpei, either, do you?"
He shakes his head, tears beginning to fall, and then she offers something to him. He doesn't cry very often... He doesn't smile very often when he does. But seeing the origami lion she made him, the symbol of his identity as beast, he smiles even as the tears fall from his eyes.
"That's my gramma..." he whispers. "You saw right through me..."
She pats him gently, reminding him of all the times she took care of him over the years. And then the two of them come up with a plan, together.

[Thankfully this isn't video. He flushes hard and puts a hand over his mouth, swallowing. It takes him a long minute to get himself together to respond.]
Pffffff...! I don't think you know who you're dealing with!
[He coughs lightly.]
A-anyway, like... I'll see you later or whatever.
