[ A shiver runs down Minato's spine, because while he can't imagine what Darkness looks like on its own, he had seen what it turns people into. If one of them four... ]
Will you tell me what happened? You all made it out, so... except...
[ Not Nana, but at least from that room, she did. Akane said it was Tuesday. Minato, having been in the same spot all weak, wouldn't be able to corroborate that, but Nana couldn't have died on Tuesday. And what of the other two? ]
We all made it out. I guess it just didn't count for as much as I thought.
[ She's quiet for a moment, trying to figure out how to articulate this in a way she doesn't hate. ]
There were typical puzzles. Buttons to press and hidden things to find. And...
[ She opens her mouth like there's more, but shuts it again without elaborating. She doesn't think she can convey how much she hated it, but she's worried if she just says what happened it'll sound like it was no big deal. She's too anxious about wanting him to understand how much she hated it to risk saying it in a way that doesn't reflect enough... ]
[ Minato nods slowly. It's fine. Some people just hate puzzles. There are elements that make it harder, he'll assume- confusion, time pressure, darkness looming over them- and frustration and helplessness can wear a person down. ]
...Must've been unfair. Taking something that's supposed to be fun, and making it not.
Part of it switched our vision. We were still in control of our own bodies, but looking out someone else's eyes.
[ She says this kind of like she's trying to lighten the mood? Like, this clearly wasn't the part she hated the most, so she's just complaining and telling him a Fun Fact about their miserable adventure. ]
[ He thinks he might have been startled, if he were to find himself in the same situation, especially looking up and seeing your own face staring back at you. ]
At first glance, it's like your body's been taken over. Scary.
It's not your fault. It's not like you can be by my side all the time...
[ Besides, she wouldn't want him to see her in such a sorry state. She hadn't exactly handled herself well. Not to mention clearly not getting along with the other girls. ]
[ Minato nods, taking out his notebook from inside his bag and flipping towards the front to a new page. On the top of it, he writes down "board games" to remember about later. ]
If we can't find any, we could probably make our own... Wish I had my music player with me, but it wouldn't last this long without a charger. You found something that'll work instead, though?
Ehehe. Lune-san said they'd help me charge my phone if I did them some favors.
... But even when it's charged, I don't think I can send you anything. There's no network, here. [ plus who knows what the interaction would be between her phone from one world and his from another, plus another factor that she is not keen to even bring up. ]

... Do you want to stay the night, sometime?
[ in a platonic way. probably? ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-14 11:58 pm (UTC)Okay.
[ It's a quick answer. ]
If your roommate's fine with it. Tonight... I'll probably stay with Kazuaki, make sure he's doing alright
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 01:27 am (UTC)[ Hmm. ]
That's probably for the best. Kazuaki-kun is pretty delicate, after all.
[ It was "Nanaki-kun" last time she said his name around Minato. Huh. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 03:10 am (UTC)Another one who doesn't need to sleep... I'd be jealous, but I like sleeping. You're getting along with Kazuaki? We could have a sleepover together.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 03:31 am (UTC)[ That's not healthy but okay!!!! ]
A sleepover with the three of us sounds fun. It's too bad we don't have video games or anything to play together.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 03:33 am (UTC)Lea mentioned having games on his gummiphone. We could invite him too.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 03:47 am (UTC)My phone is dead right now, but I should be able to charge it soon. Then I'll have a couple of games, too.
[ she thinks for a second. ]
Maybe we could get some board games, somehow...?

no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 04:27 am (UTC)I would offer to play music from my phone, but I don't know how much I have on there... Normally I'd just be able to stream it...

Date: 2019-06-15 04:53 am (UTC)[ Minato is desperate enough for music, he will take ringtones. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 04:59 am (UTC)[ what a bad idea!! but she laughs, at least. ]
I think I have a couple songs. I'll check when it's not dead...

Date: 2019-06-15 05:00 am (UTC)[ a pause, and then a more important question ]
Can you text me that photo you took before? With the "nya"? [ he does the nya pose, in case she needs to jog her memory ]

How about I give you my number? You can text me when we get you home.
