[So Sannan is still figuring out this magical book business, something that becomes wholly evident when the video feed comes on to a full shot of his face. Thankfully, he's managed to find his clothes since his arrival...
Also, there may or may not be a Heisuke in the background talking to him just out of anyone else's earshot.]Oh, so it's this ( Read more... )

Kinda confusing, ain't it?

One hand covers his face as he smiles awkwardly.]
I think I made that pretty obvious.

Nah, you're doing okay. Took me awhile. Hell, I still don't got it.

Hopefully, it'll get easier over time. [He frowns as he notices the other little magical symbols on the side of the page. His finger hovers over them, but no touching because we all know how that turned out last time.]
What are these all for?
Reply
Yeah, probably.
Huh?
[He comes over and stares at the book. There are a lot of symbols.
...He has no idea wtf they are for.]
Uh........................................ I dunno. Let's hit one and find out.

Er...alright, then. [WHY ARE YOU SHOVING THIS RESPONSIBILITY ON HIM, HEISUKE? (And why are they such derps)
He pokes the triangle one tentatively and nearly jumps out of his skin when his newly recorded entry starts playing back. Time to hastily poke one of the other ones and hope it does something--!
--oh look it stopped. Cue sigh of relief.]
...I wasn't expecting that.

Whoa!!!
[Okay, triangle. No go. Heisuke jumps back and then leans over Yamanami's shoulder again, poking at the book.]
...Man, these things are weird.
Reply
[His eyes are more focused on Heisuke's finger than the screen - got to make sure he doesn't poke anything on accident, after all. They wouldn't be able to fix it...]
I guess we could always ask one of the others how to use it properly.

...Uh, yeah. I bet Shinpatsuan or someone knows how to work this thing.
[He flops back onto the floor and stares up at the ceiling.]
...Wonder how they're doing anyway. You been over to see them?
Reply
Not yet, no, although Ayu...[He hesitates for a split second.]...mu-san invited us over for dinner.
[He closes his book and swivels around so he's facing Heisuke.]
Why are you still here anyway? I would've thought you'd have wanted to stay with Nagakura-kun and Harada-kun.

We should go over then. Best food ever, right? Been awhile since...
[And he trails off, staring up at the ceiling a bit harder now that Yamanami is asking questions. It takes him a bit, but he eventually looks down with a grin on his face.]
Someone's gotta take care a' you! Who better than good old Heisuke, right?
Reply
...it's definitely been a while. [--and that ends that.]
And I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, but...thank you, Toudou-kun. Even after I...[He trails off, not really sure how to say it.]
Reply
...You aren't the only one. [He reaches up and scratches the scar on his forehead for a moment, then rolls forward and to his feet, dusting himself off.]
But I'm not leaving you, so you'll have to get used to it. Stuck with me forever. Whether you like it or not. Haha!
Reply
What do you mean, I'm not the--[...oh. But wait, Heisuke never left--]
...Toudou-kun, what happened?
Reply
[Heisuke rubs the back of his head and then looks out across the street.]
Wonder what she's cooking tonight.
Reply
Which means he's probably dead. No, he can't say for sure, but he knows. It's inevitable because he left, and the rules are absolute. And if not for the rules, then because he's not wanted by Hijikata and Kondou.]
No, I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
[He joins Heisuke in looking at the house across the way.]
Either way, it'll be delicious.
