[ As soon as Yuji had put two and two together he had been on the move; it would've been hard for anyone to stop him anyway, but with the motivation of seeing Kugisaki again, there was absolutely nothing that could stop him. His strange, inhuman speed carries him quickly through this strange place to find where she'd said she would be, and it doesn't take long for him to get there.

A part of him still doesn't believe it. It's been a few weeks since the Shibuya mission, and he's still haunted by the sound of her voice as she found him, his own desperation as he urged her to run, her last words; he hadn't been able to forget it, or forget her, for even a second. The notion that she might be back, that this might not be some kind of trick to get him to conform or work here (even though he would anyway!) propels him just as much as it frightens him.

Yuji is practically breathless by the time he gets back to the rooms, trying not to think too hard about him and Kugisaki being on the same team, whatever those assignments mean, and he hovers outside the door that's supposedly hers. What if he knocks and she isn't there? What if he knocks and it was all a lie? The fear is there, the prickle under his skin, but at the same time he can't help from hoping, desperately wanting to see her face again.

He knocks, a little louder than he means to, wincing. She might start shouting at him. ]

Hey, Kugisaki!

Comments

[kanzashi]

[Honestly, Nobara is fine with not talking about her too. If they did, she might honestly feel a little jealous that some other woman was there, doing things with them... almost as if they had taken her place...

...maybe the thought has her gripping his hands a little tighter.]

I'm sure you guys'll do it. Though I guess none of that matters here, right? So don't worry about it. This place has enough problems to deal with as it is.

[eyescar]

Yeah, with everything that's going on...

[ He sights, lifting his hand to stroke through his hair absently before he sighs softly. ]

Do you wanna go get something to eat? I can explain anything else then, and it might be nice to go for a walk.

[kanzashi]

[Perhaps taking a walk would be a good idea, allowing both of them to process all of this while getting some fresh air.]

Sure. We can see if the cafeteria's got anything edible in it today. Then you can tell me again, so everything makes sense! Alright?

[And with that decided, she'll take a moment to slip on some shoes and a jacket, so they can make their way.]
