[The camera on the comm device was on, and all there was was blue, a sea of blue hair all over the screen. After a few minutes, the image shifted after Minato lifted his head up from the table and rubbed his eyes with a hand, getting the sleep out of them. But judging from the background, he wasn't in his room. He was in the dining room instead

[All his protagonists falling asleep in weird places. How is he going to keep track of you? Being second banana is tough in a place like this.]

Minatoooooooo. Wake uuuuuuuuup.

[His voice is certainly irritating enough to work the first time.]

[jivitadana]

[H-he almost decided to go sleep under (or up in?) a tree somewhere, but the idea of food sort of won out. Minato had his head resting on his arms which were in turn resting on the table. Sort of reminiscent of dozing off in class.

But then again, no one ever woke him up in the middle of class either and not in that voice. Minato shut his eyes tightly then opened them again after blinking, and raised his head up to look over at the comm device which he shifted closer to himself. He smiled a little.]

Thanks, Yousuke.

[masukukunai]

[Minato please... Not in a tree. Or on the roof. Or in the middle of the hall, or whatever other strange and dangerous place. He has his hands full already making sure Souji doesn't eat what should rightly be in the garbage, he doesn't need anymore weird habits to dissuade.]

There're like, beds for that. Couches even. The only place you should have to sleep like that is school.

[jivitadana]

[The hallway, that almost happened once too, but he thought better of it. But the roof, he likes that spot... He promises not to sleep there when it's raining? And well, Messiah is Judgement Arcana, so it probably helps with being more discerning about food than Souji, but this issue of sleep is another story? Minato smiled again, giving Yousuke a nod.]

I've done that before. But okay. A bed or couch next time.

[But he was tired while at the dining room. ;o;]

[masukukunai]

[Then rouse thyself and move to an appropriate place to be tired please.]

Are you not sleeping at night or something?

[jivitadana]

[... Yes, Yousuke, will do. ;o; Minato thought about it for a moment then nodded slightly.]

Sort of. I've been trying to figure out what word or phrase I lost too.

[masukukunai]

...You lost a word? How do you lose a word?

[jivitadana]

From the event. It wasn't my memory that caused it, but it'd affect me too.

[It made him wonder if any of the IT members lost a word either, but he didn't think so. Hm. Something to think about though.]

[masukukunai]

...Yeah, you lost me. Can you start from the beginning?

[Nobody's explained the losing words thing to him before.]

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded. He hadn't minded explaining.]

Events are based on someone's memory. That person and everyone from their home has a word or phrase taken away from them by the Mansion. There isn't any way to recall it that I know of.

[masukukunai]

[He blinks for a few seconds while re processes that.]

So you don't remember a word... Could you still say it? Like, by accident?

[jivitadana]

[Minato shook his head.]

It's gone. You might know that you lost it, but if someone says it to you or you read it, you won't retain it.

[masukukunai]

[He frowns.]

Well now everything's gotten way more creepy...

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded slightly. He had to agree.]

Remembering for someone else is my only solution for now.

[Besides still trying to figure out how to get the words back in the first place, but that was going to be harder to do.]

[masukukunai]

Well, then we've got to figure it out.

[jivitadana]

[Minato smiled at that.]

I know we will if we're working together.
