[August 3 stars off. . . weird.]

[The morning bell chimes at 6 a.m., as it usually does! But there appears to be a very thin layer of fog settled against the ground outside. Some of it seeps into the school's hallways, before dissipating in a few wisps of haze. Weird??]

[As the day goes on, you feel like you can hear strange whispers echoing in the air-- a voice, hissing the word miiiiiiiine over and over again. Also weird!]

[And by the time the afternoon hits, you may find yourself running into some very unwanted guests. You've been here two weeks, and this is the first time you're seeing these guys?? Where have they been??]

[By the way, the nurse's office is unlocked!]

[ordimame]

Is it??

[a small sigh]

It's not like I asked for this. None of us did.

[isdf]

Correct. Wherever this is, we were all taken from our original locations and placed here against our wills. The majority of us are also strangers, which makes the formation of a united front even more important.

[ordimame]

[still spoken just like a soldier. . .]

I get the feeling arguing with you more won't get me anywhere. . .

[isdf]

[He chuckles.]

You said it yourself, didn't you? [That he might need assistance to get back.] Just as you are concerned about others, so, too, am I. That includes you.

[ordimame]

[. . . hah]

Has anyone told you that you're pretty hardheaded?

[MEAN]

[isdf]

[ . . . Probably in so many more words? He thinks.]

Is that a refusal?

[ordimame]

[a sharp exhale]

No.

It isn't.

[he caved. . .]

[isdf]

[Yay!]

Then I will speak with Styx first.

[And, once Ivan chooses to stay and recuperate, Yuma will make his way back to Edamura, so that they can head out together.]

[ordimame]

[mmmmmMMMMMMmmm. . . looking between Mamoru and Styx. . .]

. . . I don't want to leave him here.

[isdf]

[He also looks between them.]

Should we wait?

[ordimame]

[a slow nod]

Yeah. Until he's ready to make the trek home, too.

[isdf]

Very well. Please make yourself comfortable until then.

[ordimame]

[a long, long moment of silence, before. . .]

[quietly, sincerely]

. . . thanks.
