[They actually don't talk that much. Smoker and Ikki can go weeks without saying much of anything, and like it that way. But they talk here and there and a little more now that Ikki is (basically, however much he denies it) dating Kotomi. Still, it's been nearly over a year that they've been roommates and close friends, a few conversations happened.]

A couple days before I got switched into another person's body I was 12 for a week. And kidnapped for a week before that. They do that sometimes. Kidnap people and then put a shift on them when they return. But I guess they decided kidnapping takes too long and just shifted everyone in the village this time.
