[ As the fog begins retreating, Minato debates following. He's tired, but that isn't the point here. No, the point here is that there is a little boy whom has decided to briefly manifest near him, giving him a nudge.
You should go see them. ... You could find out something interesting, don't you think?
Minato is silent for a moment and gives Pharos a sort of glance (he knows only he can see him, unfortunately), watching the fog go down the stairs. ... Eventually, with a resigned sigh, he nods, and Pharos gives a small giggle to him.
... I wonder what sort of things you will find out... I DID tell you you can't escape the mirror of yourself, you know. Good luck. ... And be careful.
With that, the little boy disappears and Minato is left alone. He decides to follow the fog until he reaches the source: the cafeteria, and a woman in a burial kimono. He's surprised, slightly; he hadn't expected her. Thanatos is... what is Thanatos doing, he wonders? What is this weird... feeling...? He can't place it, but it almost feels like Thanatos is... something beyond hateful and spiteful for once. This must not be a regular human at all, she's probably something else. Thanatos--well, HIS, anyway--hated humans and mortals in general; they were never very forgiving and he had come to hate his job, AND them. Thus it's surprising whenever Thanatos quiets down and seems to be in a somewhat... not quite good, but less angry mood.
Minato hesitates slightly, if only because he isn't sure how to properly go about this.
He isn't angry with her. Instead, he merely watches for a moment and then quietly comes toward the table she's at, decision made. ]
... Do you mind if I sit here?
[ Well, it's only polite to ask, Source of Shadow Problem or not. ]
