Me neither! Do you think they'll let Koro-chan in?
We should offer to let him stay with us, maybe. If he doesn't want the key to the dojo, maybe staying at home is really lonely, too. There's my room in Scott's house, or maybe you have a place?
Mmhm! It's really nice to sit and just get to listen to everyone having a good time. (˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)
But yeah, I think so. I talked to him while Scott was gone, so I'm pretty sure he'll know what we're doing. You don't think it'll bother him that we're putting effort into something like this...?
[She hadn't known what to do when people were checking on her after Scott had disappeared, but it's still the right thing to do, isn't it? Remind him that he isn't alone, as much as he might feel like it?]
Yeah. Same for me. He can tell us to go away if he reeeeeeally doesn't want to be bothered.
[Not that she thinks he'd do that, honestly, but he could if he wanted to!]
I think we should hang out at the inn together with him, too. Maybe we could have a sleepover! It's hard to sleep by yourself when you're used to having other people around, after all.
[If she's not confident about anything else, she is confident about "every single boy she's ever met is in desperate need of a hug, he just doesn't know it yet."
Could just be the boys she hangs out with, though.]
Next time you see him, ask Scott for a hug. Don't tell him why, just tell him I said so. o( ❛ᴗ❛ )o Scott's probably the best hugger in Aldrip, but I bet with practice, you could be good at it, too!
[ Okay. Okay, well, Scott could probably use a hug or two as well now that he's back. And if he tells Scott that Kotone's the one who sent him on this sidequest, what's he going to say? No? ]
Okay. I can do that.
[ A hug for Yu. A hug for Scott. Hugs make the world go around?? ]
Should we ask Yu about the sleepover together? Or maybe just one of us?
[ He'll... take Kotone's lead on this one. This is out of his wheelhouse but firmly in hers, probably. ]
Oh, thanks! I can bring snacks, and maybe ask at the inn if they'll let me borrow some extra blankets, too.
[Considering her plan is to have them drag all the bedding onto the floor so they can sleep next to Yu, the futon would be a big help! This is starting to seem like a proper plan!]
text, after mikey & yosuke's disappearance
[ It's dire if Minato's the one reaching out instead of the other way around. ]
I'm worried about Yu.
no subject
Me, too. Yosuke and Mikey have been gone too long, so...
[If they come back, and there's no guarantee of that, they almost certainly won't remember their time here in Aldrip. At least, nobody she's met has.]
no subject
I asked if I could borrow the key to the dojo.
He gave it to me instead.
[ Guess he didn't want any reminders of those two. ]
no subject
So we're gonna do something with him, right? I don't think he likes doing nothing.
...Oh!! He likes cats, right? We could go to a cat café, maybe!
no subject
Yeah. Good idea. I've never been there before.
[ The perfect excuse to drag Yu there, right? ]

no subject
He asked about the inn. I think he might stay there for a bit. It's lively so that could help.
no subject
It's too bad we can't go beat stuff up in Tartarus. What else can we do instead... (๑•́ -•̀)
no subject
Yeah. It feels like the dorm sometimes.
Do you think he'll notice?
[ Wild cards have a knack for noticing things... Would Yu notice that they've realized he's been down? ]
no subject
But yeah, I think so. I talked to him while Scott was gone, so I'm pretty sure he'll know what we're doing. You don't think it'll bother him that we're putting effort into something like this...?
[She hadn't known what to do when people were checking on her after Scott had disappeared, but it's still the right thing to do, isn't it? Remind him that he isn't alone, as much as he might feel like it?]
no subject
I think it's better to try.
[ Better to try, to show that they care as opposed to doing nothing at all.
... ]
I don't want to regret not trying.
no subject
[Not that she thinks he'd do that, honestly, but he could if he wanted to!]
I think we should hang out at the inn together with him, too. Maybe we could have a sleepover! It's hard to sleep by yourself when you're used to having other people around, after all.
no subject
A sleepover?
[ Hm. ...yeah, that could work. ]
It might be a little small. But maybe that'll make it cozy?
no subject
no subject
[ ... ]
Do you think that'd make him feel better?
[ If so, maybe it's worth a shot?? ]
no subject
[If she's not confident about anything else, she is confident about "every single boy she's ever met is in desperate need of a hug, he just doesn't know it yet."
Could just be the boys she hangs out with, though.]
You feel better when someone hugs you, right?
no subject
Anyways, he takes way too long at sending his message. ]
I think so.
[ Yes. This seems like the correct response. ]
no subject
[Buddy it is ON SIGHT (the hug).]

no subject
Oh, I thought we could just show up at his room and then not leave! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
[Is it... is it really in her wheelhouse... is he sure about that...]
But I don't mind asking him first, either. Or at least telling him we're coming. Maybe he'll want us to invite some of his other friends, too!
no subject
As long as everyone fits in the room.
[ Like, they can't be squishing Too many people in there... ]
I have an extra futon you can borrow. We'll bring everything to Yu's room.
[ Flawless plan 10/10. ]

Okay I'll let him know. <( ̄︶ ̄)>
