[Hey guys, remember that kid with blue emo haircut? Remember how he has a dead younger twin sister? She's on the screen with a smile that totally tells you nothing is wrong. And if you think that there's something wrong, it's obviously just your imagination. It seems like Minami's conveniently reappeared in the room she claimed as her own at Hotel

[penitenza]

[Because Shinjiro has no idea how she's going to react once she finds out he's alive-- he'll just be doing text for now. he told you not to cry]

So you remember your time from before?

video.

[letalis_anima]

[Don't worry, she already flipped when she found out shortly before kicking the bucket. Still, doesn't stop her from being super-excited to see him and pretending that nothing weird is going on. She stays on video mode and waves.]

SHINJIRO-SENPAAAAI~! You're back! I missed you! But then again, I was gone so I can't really be one to talk! This is totally starting to look a lot like Christmas! It is December, right? It's not some silly prank to make it look like winter, is it?

[Totally not dodging questions. Really.]

text > voice.

[penitenza]

[..how did she know? ..oh, caller i.d stupid phones. The reply takes a long time because he's very confused by her reply. However, he's remembering what Akihiko has talked to him about. ..Was she from before he died then? Ugh, this is so god damn confusing.

He switches to voice.]

I-Idiot! ..How long has it been since you last saw me? [you're not dodging this one, missy.]

..Yes, it's December. [you're as energetic as always.]

[...] Where are you?

video,

[letalis_anima]

[She's so happy to hear his voice! :D!!!! ... but the questions are getting harder to dodge. D:]

Well, like, it's really hard to say. You were here for a bit, and I was totally happy because you were the only one that remembered me! But then after a week or so you left and we were all really sad. Then I fell asleep and I left for a bit too.

[She looks slightly pained for a moment...]

... It's really nice to see you again...

[... but quickly re-plasters on her smile.]

Oh! I'm in my room right now! At least, the room I claimed when I first stayed in Somarium. You did move in with us, right?

[POUTY FACE. :c HOW CAN YOU RESIST?]

voice,

[penitenza]

.....

[You're not fooling him. He can tell something is wrong, and the thought is probably leading towards that she is aware of his death.

and of course he can't resist that pouty face. cheater.]

I did. ..What room is it?

video.

[letalis_anima]

[A winner is me.]

Yaaaay! This is so great! My room's on the third floor, room 314! It's almost directly above my brother's room!

voice.

[penitenza]

[ :| ]

..I'll be there in a few.

video→action.

[letalis_anima]

'kay, I'll be waiting.

[So she ended the call with a cheerful tone. However, her smile quickly faded into a melancholic expression as she turned to open her room's door.]

action.

[penitenza]

[Just as he had said, he's there within a few minutes. He spots her and stops just a bit before her door, not intent on entering her room.]

.. Hey.

action.

[letalis_anima]

[Well, that's just fine and dandy, because Minami just stares right at him for a bit, and then responds with...

... throwing herself at him with an uber-tight hug. DELICIOUS MEALS I MISSED YOU ;A;]

action.

[penitenza]

[the moment she throws herself at him, arms lift awkwardly with a blush quickly reaching his face. rather, the arms stay there, uncertain of what he should do as he sputtered incoherently for a moment.

by now though, he's sure something is wrong. slowly, he sets a hand on the top of her head] .. Don't cry.

action.

[letalis_anima]

[The pat on her head was reassuring, and she found it easier to fight back her tears of joy.]

... I just wanted to make sure you were real.

action.

[penitenza]

[he's quiet for a moment, before he hugs her tightly.]

Yeah.. I know how you feel.

action.

[letalis_anima]

[She stays silently like that for a few minutes, before pulling back.]

... Are you still in the hospital? Back home, I mean.

action.

[penitenza]

[..In the hospital?]

Can't say for sure, last I remember is what happened that day.
