[ Rin, after bouncing off the barrier on the way back to a more reasonable location for curfew. ]

You've gotta be kidding me...

[foxicide]

This is your fault.

[damp]

How is it my fault?!

[foxicide]

You always yell at me when we're outside.

[they're always outside]

[damp]

We're always outside! You should've just told me if you were hurt if you didn't want me to yell!

[squirt]

[ GOD!!!! there's not even anything good to throw futilely at the barrier here. ]

Again?

[damp]

[ okay, he does feel guilty that haru is out here. ]

Should've expected this.

[squirt]

[ it's fine he just stood there and watched it happen ]

I didn't want to. [ would've been nice to assume thursday would be chill and cool ]

[damp]

... Yeah. [ huh, steadily becomes afraid ] Maybe we should move closer to the tower for cover.

[rewriter]

We really should have paid more attention to the time...

[foxicide]

Maybe another blimp will land on us.

[monika just

sighs

and takes a selfie with the boys frowning at the barrier in the background]

[damp]

[ blinks at her ]

You're pretty relaxed.

[rewriter]

Ahaha, not really... But if you set your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed.

[he can catch her trying to send a text just to make sure it's the same exact situation as last week, though.]

[damp]

Is that so...?

[ peeks at her phone ]

[foxicide]

[GRIMACES AT THE SELFIE]

[rewriter]

[takes another one with extra zoom on his face]

[foxicide]

You better hide your phone before you fall asleep.

[MONIKA!!!]

[squirt]

[ weakly throws a v sign ]

[rewriter]

[she changes her pose and takes another selfie with him

and then glances up, noticing the fish in the distance...]

... Who put a fish up there?

[squirt]

[ red string pair selfie hours ♥ ring could never

he looks up when she points it out, curious. it's cute... (no it isn't) ]

...How? [ he's gonna go look for stairs or an elevator ] Should we go up too...?

[squirt]

[ comes back here because our threads all became a mess

but eventually after they get their butts handed to them by this bird and they're just laying/sitting there in defeat, as the hour starts to wind down, he's going to find monika and rin's hands and squeeze them very tight. time to panic a little. ]

...Don't let anything happen to you. [ is he including rang in this? he's in earshot either way i guess ]

[rewriter]

[... ah.

she squeezes his hand back. i hope rin lets her take his hand too so they are basically in a circle of handholding without rang.]

... I won't. I promise. But you have to stay safe too, okay?

[damp]

[ HELP OUR RANG

He squeezes both their hands. ]

It'll be okay. [ He definitely does not feel okay, but only one of the frees can panic at a time. ] We've got the sight advantage and everything.

[ Wow! He's going for confident but he almost sounds scared.

To distract himself, he clears his throat. ]

That includes you, Rang!

[squirt]

[ JUST WITHOUT RANG

whether it's the red string or just having someone nearby, it does help. but the creeping anxiety is still there. is this how every thursday is going to be? until they— ]

...I'll try. [ is he ready to throw hands if he has to? ] We'll see each other tomorrow.
