[Souji's sporting some ugly bruises along with a few suspicious ones, but he ignores them completely as he addresses the camera. He is all business at first.]

Yukiko, Kanji. I need to talk to you both about something.

[Then his expression softens and he smiles.]

You too, Yousuke.

[Rise of all people should know about privacy and how to keep things private, hence why this entry has an effective filter. She has been... worried, to say the least. When Souji decided to talk to Yukiko and Kanji, it could only be about one thing. But why did he ask for Yousuke too... and in that way? Her red quadrants are getting all messed up because of you, man.]

Souji-senpai! Oh, did you forget about me? How could you do that to me, huh?

... But what happened to you? [She pointed at the camera now, indicating the bruises.]

[eatsyourscience]

Adachi's here.

[And that's all he'll say about that. :|]

I didn't address you because you already know what he did. But I should talk to you about it anyway.

[Rise threw one of her mini-tantrums, but it wasn't entirely directed at Souji. A lot of it was venting and out of frustration.]

I know that, Senpai! So what're we gonna do about it?! I thought we'd never see him again. I thought we were done with him!

[She sighed and shook her head.]

Senpai, let's talk about it. You don't look so great either... Let me help you take care of it!

[He can't help smiling. Oh Rise. So cute.] Okay.

[At that, Rise had to stop being so angry. She gave him the brightest smile she could despite how worried she had been.]

Really, Senpai? Thank you!

Where are you? I'll come right over and help you feel better! You know I'm good at that kinda thing!

I'm in my room. The door's unlocked.

[Inviting you to his room? So desu scandalous!]

[video | private -> action]

[like_tofu]

[YES! One way ticket to Souji's room and Rise is so going to take it.]

Oooh, then I'll see you soon, Senpai! Just sit tight and don't go anywhere!

[And with epic speed Rise will be at Souji's room busting down that door but not really since it's unlocked. She actually turned the knob carefully and peeked her head inside. Self-restraint, she knows it. Sort of.]

Senpai? Are you in here?

[eatsyourscience]

I'm here.

[His room is pretty much a replica of his room at Dojima's. He's sitting on the couch, trying to smooth out some gauze that's sloppily wrapped around his knuckles.]

[like_tofu]

[Rise quickly entered the room once she had gotten permission of sorts from him, closing the door behind her. Her smile changed into a frown once she said him fiddling with that gauze.]

Senpai, how could this have happened to you? C'mon, here, let me help you with that! Sit still, I'll handle this!

[Rise wasn't entirely skilled at bandaging someone up, but this should've been easy since it was simply rewrapping the gauze.]

[eatsyourscience]

[He's got a first aid kit sitting on the table in front of the couch, so there's plenty of supplies. The skin on his knuckles is split. Because Adachi needed to be punched.

He moves over so she can sit down and holds his hand out to her.]

[like_tofu]

[First aid kit get! Rise sat down on the couch, and frowned again upon closer inspection of the injury. She got a cotton ball and dabbed some disinfectant on it.]

This is gonna sting, okay, Senpai? But don't worry, if it hurts, then I'll be here with you so you're not gonna go through it alone!

[She cleaned the wound as best she could and rewrapped the gauze around his hand.]

Is that better? Don't tell me that you... You already saw him in person, didn't you?

[eatsyourscience]

[He doesn't bother to point out that he's had worse injuries from shadows. He nods.]

Yes.

[like_tofu]

[Rise continued to hold onto Souji's hand, checking it over to make sure the bandages were secure and also as an excuse just to hold his hand. She sighed, sad that she couldn't have been there to also punch or kick Adachi either. It felt so... sickening to have to be nice to him.]

Senpai, what're we gonna do? What can we do? He's here now, we can't just get rid of him like we did last time!

[eatsyourscience]

We beat him before. We can do it here too, if we have to.

[like_tofu]

[That was true. They beat a goddess after beating him too! Rise nodded once, more confident now. Souji might've been the quiet type, but he was an excellent leader and had the right words or actions for every occasion.]

If we're going after him, I'll support you with all I got, Senpai! I've been wanting to have Kanzeon scan this place! Now I got more of a reason to if we gotta keep an eye on him.

[eatsyourscience]

I think keeping an eye on him is all we should do for now.
