Who: Kyousuke Kamijou and The Tower of Despair
What: No one said that he'd still have his sanity after spending time in a ruined wasteland.
Where: All over the Stairs.
When: Whenever
Warning: Muteness, Insanity and other boatload of issues caused by a long alone time.

[He had not been expecting to be pulled back into the tower a few... months? Weeks? Days? of the time he spent in that ruined wasteland. Therefore, when the sleep paralysis subsided, the only thing he could notice apart from Ruana's voice in the intercom was the fact that he's now hungry again, and that things are sort of back to normal with his body.

It didn't take him long to reach the cafeteria, whereupon he had his oatmeal wordlessly, and even less time for him to actually get going to the stairs.

Which would be where you find him, always wandering around the different floors, and yet never stepping outside the boundary the stairs have.

In fact, you might probably mistake him for a ghost or something.]

[Tohko gave the boy a puzzled look in return. Why wasn't he replying? This seemed really similar to another situation she had run into in the Tower.]

If you can't talk, nod your head.

[verismo]

[There's a slow nod from him as he looked pretty passive right now, really.]

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko smiled.]

Alright then. I'll grab you some paper and a pen, alright? Just hang on a moment.

[Tohko, walking past the boy, ran down to the dorm rooms and came back with a sheet of paper that had been torn from her notebook and her pen.]

Sorry for making you wait! Here you go!

[She held the two objects out for him to take.]

[verismo]

[At that, he's going to smile a little, before taking both the paper and pen, before writing one single word.]

"Thanks."

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko would return the smile.]

Oh, you're welcome! I'm glad I could help you out. Now..what's your name? Are you a newcomer here?

[verismo]

[After a few seconds of scribbling.]

"It's Kyousuke Kamijou, and you are?"

[tohko_amano]

"It's nice to meet you, Kyousuke! I'm Tohko Amano, the book girl!"

[verismo]

"That's a really descriptive title, isn't it?"

[he'd laugh but he's not in the position to do that right now.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko did chuckle at that though.]

Well, it does fit me rather well. However..are you a newcomer here, Kyousuke?

[verismo]

"Sort of, I've been here before, once."

[tohko_amano]

[Oh..at that, Tohko sighed and..tried to pat Kyousuke on the head.]

I'm sorry..I guess you came back from your home world then..

[verismo]

"It's alright, I'm used to it."

[The silence, if it's not completely unsettling, was pretty much soothing for him

And also conducive for someone to go insane if exposed to it for a very long time.]

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko sighed.]

You're..used to seeing everyone around you dead?

[verismo]

"Staying in a dead world tends to do that to you."

[tohko_amano]

But you know..what you experienced might just be an illusion concocted by the Administrators!

[verismo]

"Illusions or not, it doesn't matter once you experienced it, right?"

[They all felt real to it, and he had memories of it, therefore it happened.]

[tohko_amano]

[At that, Tohko sighed and scratched her head.]

..I guess on some levels, it doesn't..but it doesn't mean you can't stop hoping that your universe is fine and that your family and friends are still alive.
