Shit.

[The feed is a little muffled and moves around, showing a particular empty room. The man in bed raises a hand to press against his face, looking either as if he hasn't slept in days or has been doing nothing but sleeping. The latter is the actual story here. He winces as he sits up, staring intently at the phone soon after, almost as if

Hey, senpai. Did you sleep well?

[Minami was smiling and seemed to be okay, though her greeting was calm and less energetic than usual. Her red headphones have been replaced by silver ones, and an MP3 player hung around her neck by a navy blue lanyard.]

[penitenza]

.. More or less. [rubbing at the back of his neck, eyes closing briefly before eying her headphones and taking notice of the new MP3 as well.]

You're handling this a lot better than me, but I guess that's no surprise. [still eying them, they look familiar... ah-] ..Aren't those Arisato's?

[Unlike you Minako, he refers to your brother by last name.]

[letalis_anima]

[Oh, he noticed... Minami sighs, her expression becoming more sullen.]

Yeah... Nii-chan left them behind when he disappeared, so I've been holding onto them for safe-keeping.

[penitenza]

Disappeared? [This is serious- wait.] ..You mean, went back home or?

[If people start going missing from something else here, there's gonna be a problem.]

Morning, Sleepyhead. Finally decided to get up, huh?

[He's just teasing but really, he's elated that Shinji's finally woken up.]

[If you were here he'd shove you. You'll get some grumbling and grogginess as he continues to shake at his disheveled hair.]

Ha ha.

[Though once he's more awake, he'll stare for a moment.]

What's been going on? Anything happen?

[rise_to_caesar]

Oh, not much out of the ordinary. Captured by aliens, attacked by sea monsters... [His tone implies he's teasing, the laugh he lets out in the end only cementing this fact.

He sighs and shakes his head, the mirth falling from his tone.]

Minato's gone home. Minami's pretty down about it.

[penitenza]

I hope you don't intend on becoming a comedian, you're not really good at it. [Though smiling a bit despite that.

However at the mention of Minato and Minami.. He gives a nod.]

I heard. She's trying really hard to be strong about it.
