Seventh Punch

[For tonight's entertainment Maoh will be attempting to use Kanji's gear as a surf board! He toddles his way on over to the pool but before he's able to use the device as a floaty he slips on a tiny puddle and falls in instead. Unfortunately, as the gear is on the ground all the viewers can see is the sky above. Though-- if you listen carefully you can hear the Pichu's small, yet frantic splashing. However, as time goes on the splashing noises start to decrease.

A couple of minutes pass as a dark blur zooms by the gear and a big splash is heard a few seconds after. Up pops on the screen is a very wet, very out of breath, very disgruntled looking Kanji.]

D-Dammit Maoh. I--I told you to stay away from the pool.

[The small Pichu he has in his lap looks a bit lifeless. Though it may look bleak, Maoh is breathing. He pushes his damp bangs out of his face.]

S-Shit... I hope it's... not to late. I don't... I don't even know what to do. [by this point it looks like he's going to have a panic attack.] Those.... those c-centers would help, right? Shit why did this have to happen!?

[ ... she didn't expect that, and it's clear from her expression that she didn't. And what do you even say-- ]

It's... not as bad as it was when I was home, but there's still that worry-- and I just... don't wanna lose anyone, ever. [he finally tears his eyes away from the floor and looks at her.] That's why I freaked out at you and Yosuke-senpai when you guys... lost your souls.

[ a pause to think back to that-- and then to the last time they'd sat together in a hospital, except then her eyes darken. It had been painful enough worrying about Nanako, but what had it been like for Kanji, who had lost someone? And just how much worse had it been for him when a new loss had been added? ]

You were really hurting, huh...? And I had no idea...

[Kanji frowns slightly.]

Yeah. Not a lotta people know either. Well... Senpai does, but he was.... there the first time this happened. I thought... I thought somethin' happened to ma, but she was just helpin' a kid who had passed out, or somethin'

Well, now things make more sense... but geez, Kanji, that's not something you should keep to yourself! I'm worried about you too, you know!

Sorry! It's just... somethin' I don't know how to bring up.

... [ well, that's true. It's not the easiest thing to bring up, is it? ] I'll stay with you, okay? 'Til we've got Maoh back.

Th--Thanks Rise. So--uhhh... W-What have you been up to?

Getting used to that weird little owl Heather sent me.

Oh yeah-- have you picked a name for it yet?

Fukuro!

Is it named after somethin'?

He's named after his owlbag mother. [ 'fukurou' meaning 'owl' and 'fukuro' meaning 'bag', and Rise's first experience with Claudy was a memorable one. ]

[he quirks his brows.]

Uhh-- did somethin' happen?

No.

[ LINEFACE. ]

That doesn't look like the face of nothing happening.

[ DRAMATICALLY ] It's in the past!

Uhhh....huh

... If you saw big red eyes in a dark bag...

I would find out what it is.

It was creepy!!

I'm pretty sure it thought the same thing about you.

... [ le grump. ]

[he snickers.]

... Um, but not to change the subject or anything...

[ don't lie, Rise. ]
