I think I missed a day. Did anything happen?

[action; park]

[After hearing the news, Minato can be found at the graveyard. And as expected (though he hoped otherwise), a number of names belong to his friends.

Sad as it is, this isn't anything new to him.]

[ This isn't new for Rika either. This isn't even her first time seeing some of these names on graves. She was about ready to stare sadly at the graves all day, but turns when she hears Minato's movements.

She stays quiet for a moment, then approaches him. ]

mi-. I'm sorry to see you here. Are you well?

[doudemoe]

[It's the girl you saved yester--two days ago.]

I should be asking you.

But you look okay. That's good.

[badend_replay]

I am fine. I'm still standing, aren't I?

[ The "not fine" people are supposedly under her feet. ]

You seem to being better than most...

[doudemoe]

Hn...this isn't anything new.

[Losing friends and loved ones...yeah, this shit has been happening long before Mayfield.]

[badend_replay]

I... see.

[ Same for her, but she doesn't say it. Minato's her concern, not herself. ]

... I was going to buy flowers. Would you like to help me to distribute them?

[doudemoe]

...

That would be nice.

[badend_replay]

... mi-. Then let us be off. Though I suppose, counting the graves may be a good start... to leave even one of them untended to would be far too sad.

[doudemoe]

...I'll count them.

[badend_replay]

I will help you. After all, we are doing this together.

[ She smiles as best she can. ]

[doudemoe]

[A slight smile back. She's taking this pretty well herself.]

[Let us begin the grave-counting.]
