Ahh...uh...

[Miki is trying to keep a straight face but this is harder than she thought.]

...umm I think that Minami is gone. W-well no. Not 'I think'. I know she's gone since her room is occupied by someone else, so I guess she returned to our world...

[Her best friend is gone but she...she doesn't think she could leave herself just yet. Not with what she's gained here.]

I kinda need to clear my mind a bit...

Anyone want to do something?

"Something like watch anime or karaoke, or something like stay out in the park at night? If its the first one that could be interesting."

[video]

[helenchanted]

I apologize but I don't really watch anime...although we did do a lot of Karaoke...

"To be completely fair, I spent most all of my time working so I was really just guessing at leisure activities, but if you want someone to go along with something I'd be happy to do so."

[helenchanted]

[She smiles a little.]

It's alright! Hmmm...that could be a good weekend activity actually. Maybe we could get a few of us to go.

[ This surprises Minato, all the more so because he, Minako and Minami were just starting to really --

Well, he guesses that doesn't matter now, and he swallows down his own feelings before sending a message to Miki. ]

... I'm sure she'll be all right.

[ pause... ]

I don't have work today, if you want some company.

[This is a trap, isn't it.]

[helenchanted]

[Oh who is she kidding, of course it's not. She's just too still wrapped out on the fact he looks like the other Minato and that one would never offer something like this...]

S-sure. I think I'd like that.

[ No, Miki...

[ Er that is to say...

The slight awkwardness doesn't escape his attention, nor does the 'I think', but he ignores them because really... it's okay. He doesn't mind. ]

... is there someplace in particular you'd like to go?

LMAO THAT FIRST ONE

[helenchanted]

[Mother of hell, SHE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻]

I haven't been around in the city enough to know good places to go. I'm open to suggestions...[She stops, thinking as she she goes on.] ...or we could just sit around and watch TV.

[There's a small smile?]

I know I heard a joke somewhere about eating ice cream while your feeling sad...

[He grimaces when he watches her post, sighing as he prepares to respond. Though he's not sure how to. He hadn't really thought Minami would leave, but... well, maybe back home is where she needed to be. She can find her own happiness there.]

...She's gone, huh?

[He wishes again he could reach through the different strings of the varied universes and bring his other self here—the one who had grown up with her. Knows her better than he does. But since he can't, all he can provide is a familiar face.]

[Video]

[helenchanted]

Yeah.

I-it's alright. I know I'll see her again. It's just not going to be the same without her around, now that I got to see her again.

[So if either you or Akihiko disappear, she is going to throw the world's biggest fit.]

[Video]

[themortalhalf]

[He's not going anywhere. He has no reason to go home, and every reason to stay.]

She seemed like an interesting girl.

[Different from Minako, but with a few of the same traits.]

And... the apartment door's open if y'want.

[He knows he's not the best company, and other people are probably better distractions than he is.]

[ihaveanannouncement]

I'm sorry, Miki. But, I'm sure she's alright. She seems like a strong girl. [If she's similar to Minako, then Saori is sure of it.]

Um, but I'm afraid I have work tonight.

video

[helenchanted]

Yeah, she is...

That's alright. Work is pretty important. I should try getting a job again myself...

video

[ihaveanannouncement]

Good luck then! You're a nice hard-working girl, so I'm sure you can find one quick enough.

Just...watch out who you send your application to.

[Video]

[nofairy]

[There is a concerned-looking boy staring back at you. :<]

Are you gonna be okay?

[Video]

[helenchanted]

Yeah...it's just painful to know she left. Always sad to see a friend go, you know?

[Video]

[nofairy]

Yeah...

Um... would music help cheer you up?

[Video]

[risetocaesar]

I do. Let's meet somewhere.

[It's brief, but he trusts Miki to know there's more to his offer than just meeting up for lunch.

"I know this must be hard on you. Come talk to me."

They've been separated for a long time, but he likes to think that they're already beginning to understand each other rather well.]

[Video]

[helenchanted]

That would be nice. Um...Minato offered to come over, so how if the three of us watch a TV show or go karaoking?

[They could always just talk together after that too. And the offer means a lot to her.]

[Video]

[risetocaesar]

I'd like that. Maybe afterwards, you and I could hang out for awhile on our own, too?

[Because you read his mind, sis. The two of them have plenty of talking to do. Hanging out with Minato is fine by him, though.]

I'll be over shortly. Want me to bring anything?

[greatseal]

[Minako is in as much of a loss as Minato, right now. She hadn't expected the girl to disappear so suddenly, even though she really wasn't close to her, like Miki was. They'd barely started to get to know each other.

But at the same time...

Well, as Minato thought, it doesn't matter anymore.]

I'm available later today if your schedule isn't full already. [Not that she's probably the person Miki wants to see, but she still has to offer.]

[helenchanted]

Well actually it filled out pretty quickly but I was thinking about doing something tomorrow if that would be okay with you?

[Hey if she was like Minami's cousin or sister or...she wasn't sure anymore but they had to be related...Miki wasn't going to stop herself from interacting with her.

...a lesson she should be keeping in mind when it came to Minato, really.]

[greatseal]

Yes, that should be fine too... I'm free in the evening then.

[why wouldn't she want to interact with Minato, he's a cool guy!]
