I don't care whether I live or die
Characters: Chidori Yoshino, OPEN
Setting: Outside of Minato's old room, but feel free to run into her wandering the tower.
Format: Action, but I can match if prose is easier.
Summary: Chidori can't sense Minato in the tower, so she's checking everywhere herself to make sure Medea isn't messing with her.
Warnings: Stregafeels, likely murderous impulses, possible mentions of self-harming tendencies later.
[Some days, Chidori wakes in a panic from dreams she doesn't like to think about and has to scan the tower to make sure the boys are alright. It feels silly after the first few times, how she worries that they might not 'feel' right when she seeks them out. She'd never anticipated not sensing one of them at all. Of course, she knew it was a possibility- after all, she'd disappeared from the tower before herself, left the boys behind entirely without wanting to. She'd never considered that one of them could be taken away too. Or rather, she'd always preferred to think it wouldn't happen, especially given how long they'd all been there.
Even if she had considered it, she never would have thought it would be Minato.
So when she wakes, a little frantic and still not entirely lucid and searches for them- finds Jin, finds Ken, but feels nothing of Minato nearby, she expands her search as far as she can. Considering her range, it's not too difficult to expand it, to scan the majority of the tower in either direction. In the back of her mind, Medea's amusement about the situation is obvious, and Chidori gets up and dresses in a rush, running her fingers nervously through her hair as she makes her way out her door and out to explore as much of the tower she can herself.
She has to be absolutely sure.
She makes her way upward first, venturing out into the newer floors cautiously. Some she rules out immediately, knowing Minato wouldn't be on them unless he absolutely has to. Partway up, she starts worrying in earnest, and Medea gets even more smug. By the time she starts making her way to the lower floors, 'worry' is becoming a quiet, desperate 'panic'. When she hits the cafeteria and there's still no sign of him, she starts scanning the tower again, breathing picking up speed. She stops by his room last, and his name is gone from the door.
In the back of her mind, Medea laughs and laughs while Chidori's legs give out from under her, quickened breaths becoming full-blown hyperventilation.]

I... [Dave doesn't know what to say to her. The Tower had taken away Jade, but he won't say that. He needs to figure out how to calm Chidori down.] Yeah. The Tower does that. It's possible he'll come back though. [He's not sure if that's good or bad.] Shit. What are you supposed to say in these situations? [At least he can say he tried?]
no subject
It speaks volumes of how important Minato is that she's reacting like this.]
One can hope- though I'm not sure what I prefer... him on our dead world, or him stuck here with us.
[Both are terrible fates, and she's not sure which is worse than the other.]
Things people usually say in times like this are... trivial at best. Sometimes it's best not to say anything at all.
no subject
You want to maybe do something? Like...it's probably bad to sit by yourself and think about it. Get your mind off things for a bit. [That's really hard to do here, he's found.]
They're both pretty terrible fates.
