8/10, after the first objective has been completed

[adoringpast]

[ sena is so fucking tired but even so he still has one more place to go before going home and rest. he hasn't seen takumi ever since the con and the pit of his stomach is growing bigger and bigger the more he thinks about his friend's fate. so as soon as he's free from the catacombs he trots off to SOYOKAZE atop his slow but trusty steed.

but yeah, how's the sushi restaurant though? is it still in one piece? is takumi and his family okay? ]

[botamochi]

[ Takumi's restaurant is holding up fine, it looks fine, though it seems like he has barricaded the windows and doors (though one can hear the sound of people inside chatting normally, goddamn these NPCS), but when Sena steps onto the porch of the restaurant, the door does crack open.

This should be a time of joy because he is deeply worried about his friends, but he found little time to check up on them when his restaurant is under attack, ReVa keeps moving on despite the monsters around... So he's defending that, too. Then there's his house, escorting his family—an arrow grazes by Sena's head, leaving a a shallow cut on his cheek. There's an intense gaze, one filled with scorn, but he drops it when he finally parses who it is.

Whoops. ]

... Mizuki?

[ oh shit. Takumi is standing there with his bow, a quicker attached to his leg, and actual pointed arrows. Uh. ]

[adoringpast]

[ sena has little time to react, and while he's dodged out of the way, the arrow still leaves a cut on his cheek and -

you know? this has been one fucking hell of a week. sena almost died, had gotten his ass kicked by the only girl who has struck complete fear in him, and slowly developing feelings for some guy he's only recently acquainted to. sena should've gone home instead and recuperate and think of his life choices but no. he chose to look for takumi as soon as he got out of there, one of the few people he can really call as a close friend...

only to have this kind of welcome wagon.

this time, sena's anger isn't as explosive as the bombs he's carrying in his fannypack, he's too tired to fly off the handle. instead it's cold and piercing as he icily stares at takumi, a bit of blood streaking from his cheek. ]

... I guess I didn't have to check up on you after all.

[botamochi]

[ Takumi's complexion pales even more when he sees the blood trickle down. Even though his eyes want to rest, dark circles waning under, they strain to widen as it dawns on him that he could have easily killed his friend. Slowly his shoulders drop as he tries to find the words, but only self-loathing and exhaustion show on his face.

Despite that, he's inwardly frantic, only pushing the lightheadedness he feels from the workload. ]

I'm sorry—I... [ His mother's voice can be heard inside the restaurant, asking why is Takumi taking so long at the front? Is there another monster? She doesn't seem surprised because they've always had monster problems. ] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have—

I can treat you, so please... [ Desperate. ] Come in.

[ He can't just start sobbing over Sena in front of the customers and the storefront. ]

9/16 ilu hei

[adoringpast]

--pissed off that he's gone
i still don't get how the app just disappeared like that
or that it's even possible to get rid of it in the first place

don't tell anyone but
i really did appreciate him
and tbh ive always felt like i took his friendship for granted
i mooch off homework and free food from him every time
but idk ever since we got the app we've become closer and
i guess im just frustrated that i can never connect w him again the way i used to

but that's ok
ill find a way to get him back here
or even if i can't
ill wish him the best in his life
bc honestly he deserves this
not knowing what we went through in his past
he's happier that way and i should respect that
