[wow he's happy. simpleton. but he'll also get up]

Where should we go today?

[dotcom]

I don't know. You pick.

[ takeru chose last time. ]

[sengokus]

Hmm...

How about Shibuya...?

[closer to home, but not so much that it'd be too weird for them?]

[dotcom]

That's fine.

[ it may still be a little weird but ]

[sengokus]

[a little weird will have to do]

It can be aspirational for once lockdown's over.

[as if all of these visits haven't been aspirational]

[dotcom]

That's like all the other ones...

[ but onward to the simulation room ]

[sengokus]

[onward!! mineo will head over then and place his hand on a panel - it doesn't take long to summon up scramble crossing, bustling, full of random people, in a bright day

he just seems so happy about it, notes of nostalgia and longing popping up in his feelings]

Ooh.... Going home soon!

[even if this isn't exactly home]

[dotcom]

[ he looks around, taking the scenery. it really is so close, and yet... ]

I wonder what it's like, for them to be outside the quarantine.

[sengokus]

Probably still freaky - Adonis said they'd expand to the whole of Japan.

[and - well, there is a flare of spite there. fuck terrorists!]

I think whenever I conjure this place, it's just what I remember it looking like from the year before...

[dotcom]

Possibly. But it's still not quite like our situation.

[ the seclusion, the guns... shinjuku is in a rather unique position,.

he also makes no direct comment about adonis, because it will definitely lead to another argument/ ]

I'm surprised you would hang out here.

[ like... with who... mineo do you have friends ]

[sengokus]

[he nods in agreement with that - shibuya is probably freaked out but not... to the extent that everyone in shinjuku is.

there's a little pang of responsibility there. like maybe he really does have to do far more to stop it.

though he gets distracted by the suggestion and he frowns]

What's that supposed to mean? It's Shibuya! It's not that far and it's a perfectly normal place to hang out?!

[dotcom]

I see...

[ you don't even need emotionshare for this, because his tone is just one of disbelief. ]

[sengokus]

Don't say 'I see' when you clearly don't see anything?!

[he is so bullied]

[dotcom]

Oh, no.

I'm just sure you managed to enjoy yourself anyway.

[sengokus]

What does this mean?!

[HE'S SO FRUSTRATED]

.... just because I was getting a gift for my sister last time I was here doesn't mean I wouldn't come here normally....

[dotcom]

You just don't seem like you go out much...?

[ please stop. ]

[sengokus]

[well that manages to make him confused]

Don't mistake me for someone anti-social like you....?

[dotcom]

Who the hell would want to hang out with you?

[ PLEASE STOP BEING SO MEAN TO YOUR PARTNER ]

[sengokus]

[THE PAIN]

You know that I have friends from Field Ops and other departments, right?!

[MINEO IS SO LIKABLE]

And you! You're hanging out with me now!!

[dotcom]

Am I...?

[ he wanders away. ]

[sengokus]

Takeru...!!

[HE'S FOLLOWING AFTER HIM but also going to try to catch his hand. the vibes and the expression are both so much pouting]

[dotcom]

[ they can hold hands. ]

Yes?

[sengokus]

Don't just be so quick to ditch me in Shibuya!

[dotcom]

You said something that made me want to ditch you.

[sengokus]

That I have friends?!
