Is that so... ? Did you just find out?

[ because it sounds like his friend just attacked him... of course in the circumstances they're in, nanami doesn't really know what to make of this. she can't understand why people would work for the corporation willingly either.

but if he's calling now, then he should be safe and — ]

..... I'll come find you, okay? Maybe we should stay in doors for a while.

Yeah. [Hinata's voice hitches in a raw and rueful laugh, not at all happy, more worn a sound than he's probably ever made. But then his tone switches to something more serious.] Just a little while ago.

You should be careful, Nanami. It's...no good if something happens to you. I'm inside now and mostly okay, but...

[I'd be relieved if she was here with me and Komaeda.] If you come over, be on your guard, yeah? [I... want her to be here, too. It makes him feel almost like a kid to think such a thing.]

Alright... I'm already outside, so it shouldn't take too long.

[ she tries her best to sound calm as a foil to hinata's own voice. she doesn't hang up either, as if she doesn't want to because she's worried. yeah, she'll just keep talking like this. ]

Have you talked to Komaeda-kun, Sonia-san, or Owari-san yet? [ either for a group meet or to just know they're okay too. haven is... a hard place. ] I could call them later, if you haven't heard from them.

Komaeda's okay, but--

[Hinata hesitates for a long moment.] I called Sonia and she hasn't gotten back to me yet. I hope she's just left her phone and is inside somewhere safe, so I'm trying not to jump to a conclusion, but...

[It's very hard not to jump to the worst case scenario sometimes.]

What? Sonia-san isn't answering?

[ ... alarms are ringing inside of nanami, but she doesn't want to jump to conclusions either. what if... ]

We'll try again later... I'm almost there. [ please be okay, sonia. ]

Aa... Just let yourself in, okay?

[He'd er get up to let her in properly but that'd involve stumbling his way blindly to the door and it might just be quicker for her to let herself in.]

Okay...

[ hinata...

she quickly makes her way to his block, letting herself in as she has been told. as she opens the door, she speaks into the phone even if it's clear he's probably going to hear double.

yeah she should probably hang up now. ]

Hinata-kun? I'm here.

In here--

C'mon in, Nanami.

[He's calling from one of the apartment rooms, quirking a smile at hearing double of her voice. Nanami pls... He's sitting on the edge of his bed with a basin of water propped nearby, a cloth sitting in it. He's been using it on his eyes, and it helps to a degree.]

[ gosh, hanging up now once she makes it to his room!!!

happy to finally make it to him, she sees the cloth first before looking toward hinata. something is wrong with... his eyes? ]

What? ... What happened?

[ with some hesitation she waves a hand in front of him, just to test it. ]

[Hinata's mouth twists as he hears her footsteps coming closer, his smile disappearing. He opens his eyes, squinting, seeing her hand move in front of his eyes. Blurry.]

There was-- tear gas. [He pauses a moment, prepared to explain if she needs to know.]

It messes up your sight, so a lot of things are blurry for me, but... It won't last.

Your friend... did this?

[ okay, at least it's temporary. that's something she needed to know.

picking up the cloth to wring it dry, she folds it somewhat neatly and presses it on the side of his left eye. ]

... I'll stay with you, until you can see again... A lot seems to be happening today...

...Yeah.

[Hinata's voice drops, quiet now, as he recalls it. He leans his face into the cloth as she presses it to his eye like that, shoulders slumping in relief. It feels better and the cool eases the pain pounding at his temples.]

I'm glad nothing happened to you. Though I'm not sure what to do now... It'd probably be better to stay inside until it's safer.

[ she won't press it any further, although having friends attack friends is a scary thought... she hopes he'll be more careful from now on. ]

Yeah, let's do that... The others should come too. Mmm, that way it would be safety in numbers, right?

[ i mean, if sonia is okay... ] I'll try giving Sonia-san a call.

[Oh, he will... usually he is careful, just. Well. Yeah. Things.]

Right. And I'd feel more reassured if we were all in one place.

[He bites his lip at Sonia's name, but nods firmly.] Please do.

[ setting down the cloth, she picks up her phone and calls their beloved classmate. she could feel her heart pumping fast, and she wonders if hinata could hear it too. all she could hear now is her pulse and the ringing of the device. sonia-san... please answer.

ring, ring. but no answer.

nanami doesn't leave a voice mail but instead disconnects it quickly and calls again. maybe she just didn't have time to reach it the first time.

it rings but again, no answer.

....... she doesn't want to assume the worst, but that's all they've been telling themselves not to do. ]

[Hinata sits and listens, quietly, as she calls. He can't hear Nanami's heart pounding, but maybe that's because his own is thumping hard in his chest, anxiety swirling in him, worsening when he hears no answer.

He hears her try again and then he leans a little to lean his head on her shoulder. It's both to put his ear closer to that phone, listening desperately and, well...

Taking comfort. A little. And maybe giving it back.]

[ with a deep breathe she also takes some comfort in his actions, and this prompts nanami to try one last time, hoping that the 3rd time would be the charm.

however, again there isn't an answer. they're going to have to face the facts. ]

She's... not answering.

[Hinata's eyes shut tight. He doesn't want to face facts. He doesn't want to believe she's been taken to Kite, not after what he saw that bastard to do people like Morgan and Maizono and Fujisaki...]

We...

[What do we do?]

...when I can see properly, I'm going to go and look for her. And I'll keep trying to contact her.

[He won't give up. That, at least, he will never do.]

Yeah... we'll keep trying, until Sonia-san comes back to us.

[ that's the only thing they can do, because she wouldn't give up either. to give up is out of the question. ]

But right now you should rest. [ ... ] Does it hurt?

[That's one thing that he learned from Nanami, especially-- giving up is no good. No matter what happens. And he really cherishes having learned that... and wouldn't want to disappoint her, or the others.]

Hurt... Yeah. My head, and my arm... [Where he had been shot, but his head especially draws his immediate focus.]

But I think it bothers me less when there's someone else here.

[Or something like that.]

[ silly boy. ]

Is that so...? Then do you want... to take a nap?

[ BECAUSE NAPS ARE GREAT, Y'KNOW. THEY CAN HEAL YOU. ]

[s-shh.]

Would it be okay...? I mean, you came over here and everything, so...

[Is it cool to sleep like that... Shouldn't they stay up and chat about stuff or so on?]

Edited 2014-04-23 17:50 (UTC)

Only if you're sure you'll be okay...

[ she's just worried, okay! but since that appears to be an invitation to keep talking, she looks down at her lap, soothing down her skirt. ]

Mmm, since I arrived... a lot of the students from the school had been spend back... [ she was hoping to be able to talk to them too. ] That's probably a good thing, right?

I'm sure.

[He makes his voice softer, reassuring, though that subject has him stilling. He sighs softly.]

...I dunno. I-- well. With this sort of stuff happening, I'd want to keep them away and protected from it. But I do wish we'd gotten more of a chance to talk.

Yeah. But... I'm really happy that father is here, and I think you should get to know him more too.

[ although she's sure he's had such a chance. these words are not only for him, but for herself! ]

Mm, what do you think... of father?
