[ Early in the evening there's a knock. ]

Kisumi-san. Are you there?

Comments

[kissyou]

[Opening the door!]

Yup-- Rei. Come on in. Don't mind the zombies.

[readingreinbow]

Thanks.

[ He doesn't have anything with him, not even a coat. ]

I'm sorry to intrude, I just would prefer not to go back to my cabin tonight.

[kissyou]

The Sano cabin is a sanctuary for all. We have enough extra beds around. If there's anything you need, just tell me.

[readingreinbow]

Thank you.

... I could use a pair of pajamas if you have some. I didn't really leave prepared for anything.

[kissyou]

Sure. I'll grab some for you.

[shuffling off to get some]

Do you want to talk about it or should we do something else?

[readingreinbow]

That depends, what have you heard?

[kissyou]

Not a thing.

[readingreinbow]

Then I should tell you something, at least, it's only fair if you're putting me up.

[ He fiddles with his clothes and won't meet Kisumi's eyes. ]

I destroyed a friendship. One I valued highly.

[kissyou]

...

[holds out the pajama's]

Start from the beginning.

[readingreinbow]

This morning I was out walking around and I heard something strange, and when Nagisa asked me about it I had no idea who he was and I treated him very badly. I thought he was stalking me, and I yelled at him when he tricked me into meeting him in the library.

[kissyou]

[That sounds really weird already, but let's chalk it up to weird camp shenanigans.]

What happened in the library?

[readingreinbow]

I called Nagisa-kun a creep and accused him of stalking me. I was really angry, and very rude.

[kissyou]

[This is terrible.]

Why were you being that way?

[highspeedo]

[LATER THAT NIGHT—another knock!! WHO COULD IT BE]

[readingreinbow]

[ For the sake of letting Kisumi rest, Rei is going to answer the door. ]

Who is it?

[highspeedo]

—There you are!

[readingreinbow]

Nagisa-kun...

[ Rei can't meet his eyes. ]

[highspeedo]

I looked everywhere! Here! We're going for a walk, okay?

[holds out Rei's coat, ignoring the pajamas]

[readingreinbow]

It's late... this can't wait until the morning?

[highspeedo]

[falters for a second, then shakes his head]

It's important. Please?

[readingreinbow]

Alright.

[ Putting his coat on and noticing his phone in the pocket. ]

Ah, so that's where I left it.

[highspeedo]

[sticks his hands in his pockets, rocking back on his heels]

Mm, I tried to send you a message, but...

[readingreinbow]

[ Reading it. ]

I see. I'm... not mad either.

[ Terrified, yes, but not mad. ]

[highspeedo]

Ready?

[readingreinbow]

Yes.

[ Putting his hands in his pockets and following Nagisa. He has an air of 'just getting it over with' ]
