Characters: Saki and YOU
Setting: All around the tower! Starting in Room 2-05
Format: I'll match you!
Summary: Saki has woken up in the tower, and she is relieved to be alive.
Warnings: There will probably be Adachi in here, being a creeper

[When Saki wakes up in the bed, it's like everything before with the other her, in that hell that resembled her own liquor store--the incident with the detective--everything--it's all just a bad dream. After lying there for a few good minutes, even after the sleep paralysis wears off, she sits up and looks around. And then she cries for a few more minutes, pure relief washing over her. She's alive. She's alive and safe, even if she doesn't recognize here. And that's what matters.

After a good cry, she changes into her casual clothing and starts to explore. The cafeteria for her oatmeal, the meadow, anywhere. Anything to learn what this place is and maybe find a familiar face.]

Comments

[pitiedthefool]

[It seemed like a more neutral topic than others, especially considering he saw enough of the others' Shadows to know better.]

Yeah. [...] King Moron signed me up to help with the student health association.

[magiciansempress]

...Was he doing okay?

[She's perfectly aware that she dies. Died. Whatever. Naoki must have... Taken it pretty hard, and now she's worried about him.]

[pitiedthefool]

[He had taken it hard, and he can't sugarcoat that fact. But one thing he could say? Was the truth, and it was good...despite what caused it to happen in the first place.]

...He took it hard, but yes. When I left Inaba, he was able to look forward with his head held high. [Though, there was something else to ask...] Are you alright, though?

[magiciansempress]

...

[She can't sugarcoat, either. She's not alright. She probably won't be for a good, long while.]

...Not really.

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu nods faintly in understanding. He doesn't personally know what it's like, but he will remain silent. If Saki wants to talk, he will listen.]

[magiciansempress]

I think I'd be doing better if...

[...If Adachi wasn't here.

It's really simple. She could probably accept she's going to die if she ever returns. But that Adachi is here and loose and he could kill or hurt other people? That's hard to swallow.]

[pitiedthefool]

...I know what you mean.

[It's easy to figure out with the tone and trailing off. So he had run into her first... Dammit. He frowns at the very thought, and the same silent anger is bubbling up at the thought. Especially with Yosuke being such a mess lately. He's worried for everyone again.]

I ran into him not long ago, but try not to worry too much alright? [He manages the faintest hint of a smile, trying to reassure her.] There are many others who can stop him if he tries anything.

[Like Yosuke, like the others on the team, like the one sitting across from you that scared him senseless with a single laugh and invading his personal space. The katana beside him wasn't just for decoration.]

I kind of scared him when we crossed paths, and I doubt Yosuke wouldn't get him riled up, Konishi-senpai. [He doomed.]
