[The day seemed like any other normal day. And the evening seemed like any other normal evening. For the first time in a while, Minato had gone to bed before midnight. He liked to sleep, maybe a little more than others. But he woke up much earlier than he expected. Much earlier. Around 2 in the morning. Not anyone's normal waking time.

Minato?! Are you okay?
Reply
[It took a few moments before Minato could respond. Ow, hitting the floor was not what he wanted. He could hear Yuu's voice coming from the comm on the desk. Slowly after opening his eyes, he pushed himself up off the floor to at least sit up.
But not before hissing in pain as he cut his hand on the broken glass vase he had knocked over.]
... Yuu....... ?

[Minato raised his head up and took in more deep breaths just to tell himself that he needed to calm down despite the fact that he couldn't grasp why he felt so panicked in the first place.
After he felt like he could breathe again, he looked down at his bleeding hand, fascinated by the claret oozing from it.
Wait, WHAT. Minato gasped again, now thinking he had to get up to at least communicate properly with someone, anyone right now. Someone had to know why he was not feeling anywhere near normal.]
... I think.... where...... where are you....?

Hey...Kid.
[ He bluntly called through the device. This is troublesome to be waking up to this. ]

[Another familiar voice. What was going on? Minato took in a few deep breaths, telling himself to calm down. He couldn't have more people worry about him.
His voice was distant since he was farther away from his communicating device than he would like.]
... I'm.... okay, Duzell-san...

Do you make it a habit to fall off your bed making choking sounds, then?

[Minato was so trying his hardest not to panic. It was taking way more effort than he would like, but he still did it. He couldn't even explain why he felt so panicked.]
...... No.
[Easier answer right now. As long as he didn't have to say anymore for the next few seconds, he thought he could be okay until he had to speak again.]

Minato was sitting up by now, holding his right hand in his left after getting cut by the broken glass vase. The crimson flowing from the minor wound actually looked pretty, and should taste just as nice---WHAT was he thinking. He quickly shook his head and he could feel another bout of panic rising within him.
But he couldn't just leave Akihiko waiting. Could he? No, he couldn't. He shook as he got to his feet and made his way to the door, opening it juuuust a bit to peek outside.]
S-senpai......?

Everything okay?

[That was probably the worst question to ask him only because he didn't want to lie to his senpai. His friends were there to help him and he knew that and knew he could rely on them...
The gleam of the Evoker caught his eye, and he remembered his own Evoker was on his person since he just fell into bed that night, school uniform and all.
Minato opened the door up a little more, his right hand holding onto the doorknob so Akihiko couldn't see it bleeding. His senpai was always in good shape, wasn't he? Minato could tell by the sound of Akihiko's heart beat pounding in his head-----
---And he just as quickly SLAMMED the door shut after realizing what it was he was hearing.]

J-japan-san........? I'm..... I'm okay... I'm sorry...

You do not have to apologize, Arisato-san, but...you do not sound well.

[Japan's normally soft-spoken voice was so much louder now as he was hearing everything amplified. Everything was amplified.]
... I'll... I'll be okay. A-are you...?
Reply
Arisato? Are you alright? Please respond.

And probably hiding forever due to the massive amount of guilt.]
........... Mitsuru-senpai....?
Reply
Yes, it's me... Are you in your room , Arisato?

And he shook his head again to answer her question. He couldn't have her worry about him, he had done that enough times already to her, he really didn't want to hurt her if he saw her.]
... No... not... right now... A-are you all right?
