[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 ]

[rewriter]

[it's

not going through! she frowns but does not seem surprised by this.]

Mhmm... So we might as well settle down for the night and hope we fall asleep just like everyone else.

[damp]

[ closes his eyes ]

Let's at least go up the tower so we're not just out here in the open.

[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!!!]

[rewriter]

Oh, please. You think I'd leave my phone where you could find it?

[damp]

[ flashback to kyoko using nature's pocket ]

[foxicide]

[rang is a gentleman and is not thinking of nature's pocket,]

I'd be less worried about me and more about whoever's going to be awake tonight.

[ 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...?

[rewriter]

Did they use their psychs...? I don't see a way to get up there normally.

[squirt]

Eh... I guess...

[ that's one use of a psych. he's thinking of ways to get it down so he can get a better look at it. ]

We don't need to get that high.

[damp]

[ shaking in haru being heterosexual ]

[rewriter]

[stop doing this on pride month]

[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!

[rewriter]

We're going to be okay. We're a lot stronger than we might think, you know.

[



and then she sighs and lets go of one of their hands to hold her hand out to rang, too. join the circle, binch.]

Don't let your pride, or whatever's your deal, get the best of you tonight.

[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.

[rewriter]

We will.

[does she believe this, or is she just saying this to soothe their anxieties? she will never tell.]

Just... whatever happens, don't hesitate. Keep your eyes on the goal.
