Hah... It's alright. [He aims a bird-footed kick at the device, wondering at its apparent ability to catch the worst sort of dreams possible.]
Kiyoshi... got to him in time anyway, so it's not like he's... dead when he went back, or anything.
[Yeah, he wouldn't be seeing Keisuke again whenever he went back home. Trust this world to rub it in. He should've expected that though, really.]

So he'll just nod once in understanding, before he offers his arm for the bird to perch on.]
Would you like to go outside for a bit? I'll come with you.

[He'll be hopping onto your arm. It...looks comfortable, okay.]
Stretch my wings for a bit, huh? [A shake of his head.] Man, I probably look a little pathetic right now...

He'll keep talking as he makes his way to the lobby, and then into the living room by the exit doors.]
Not at all. You look like a tired bird, though that may just be because you're feeling under the weather. [/Very matter-of-factly.] A walk accompanied by a cool breeze always made me feel better, so maybe a few loops in the sky would help you too. I can also slice up another apple for you in the meanwhile, if you'd like. How about it?

[To be honest right now, he doesn't mind just listening to Minato talk.
His head's still reeling from the memories his own dream brought up, and an understanding that it's about time for him to come to grips with what had happened during that week.
...Which wasn't quite over, now that he thought about it. It just seemed so far away while he was...here.
He shakes himself slightly when he registers that Minato's asked him a question.]
Huh? Oh, uh, that's alright. I'm not hungry or anything, but some fresh air does sound good! [He's trying, okay, he's trying.]

He stays quiet, but speaks once he arrives to the park, which was a short walk of a few minutes long away.]
Do you think that Takagi-kun would have liked to know, what it's like to fly?
Reply
[He falls silent - silent and still.
Would have liked... The phrasing sounds so final, as if Keisuke would never know such things.
...It was somewhat true, of course. In his world, at least.
......
But... But...!]
I'm sure if he wants to, he'll be able to, right?
[He flies off now, hovering circles about Minato's head.]
I... miss him. But at the same time, it's not like he's gone for good - for him, at least. It's kinda strange to think about it, but... knowing that Yuuto made it on time makes me feel a little better.
Something like that, huh...

It's not the same, though. Flying via an airplane can't be compared to flying with actual wings of your own, I'd think. You're the one who would know this better, Kihara-kun. What do you think?
That's understandable. Still, if you won't be seeing Takagi-kun for a while more, then you should do as much as you can now, so that you can tell him about it later. Like flying with your own set of wings, for one. [He adds softly, with a small and encouraging smile.]
