And he’s alive.

All that and more yet he feels stuck ─ little explanation, little feeling of control. Thoughts and feelings chaotic, and while he’s mostly been able to keep his head on straight . . . 

                           Even the best of heros need a break sometimes,                                                                                                  ... right ?

Perhaps that’s why he found himself wandering away from the bustling city and away from city lights, hoping to find solace in a brilliant night sky and constellations and finally clear his head a little. Take a breather and slow down, even if he feel ashamed of such actions. He should be thrilled, right? And that’s how he’s happened upon a small pond. His shoulders slouch, hands hanging limply at his side as he gazes into it’s reflection─ expression somber, quite literally the opposite of his usual poise. He’s not sure how many moments pass as he tries to collect his thoughts and organize his memories.                                  ( memories of his final moments )

Fists clench at his sides, body tense once more. The more he tries to make sense of things, the less he feels a grasp on reality.

Before he can linger in such thoughts any longer, a noise catches his attention. It takes seconds for Kaito to become dangerously aware of how alone he is, very deep in a park in the middle of the night. He swallows, trying to quell his now-trembling figure as he turns to the source.

“ Wh - Who’s ─ ” he tries to sound tough but can’t quite keep the shaking out of his voice. But he stops, eyes widening and frame relaxing immediately as he sees the source manifesting from darkness.

“ Harumaki ... ? ”

As much as Akamatsu would love to run on her own energy, even she has her limits. Tiredness catches up to her faster than she’d like to admit it. With the weight of her past on her shoulders, exhaustion is inescapable. But she refuses to let that stop her, even if it means getting some caffeinated assistance. After all, there’s far too much she wants to know about this city. And she doesn’t know where to start.

“Hm...the air tastes like Earth, but at the same time...” The Doctor mused once he tasted the air,

Hello, Maki Harukawa and welcome back to Terra! You will be housed in Twin Apartments M3, where you will find everything is the same as it was upon your leaving.

You will retain everything that you previously had.

What’s that look for? She was willing to ignore the staring initially because, heh, when aren’t people watching her movements? Ugly. Annoying. Killer. The forgettable black sheep— even after all this time...you might be in a new place, but you’ll never be rid of those ghosts. So it’s hard to not take offense to being looked at like...that. Of course, to most people, that’s just a pretty blank stare, so whether there’s another layer to that expression, or if Toko’s just overthinking things is unclear.

Ever since had arrived in this strange place, one of her main priorities had been trying to find any of her friends. It had been a concern of hers, as well as something that could help her figure out what kind of place this was... granted, this could very well be the afterlife and she just had a very bad awareness of that fact. Regardless, if there were anyone she recognised here, it would definitely reassure her a fair bit. The last thing Kaede wanted was to be here alone.

...Hopefully, she wasn’t alone.

Trying to look for a hint of familiarity in an unknown place was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and she was beginning to doubt that she’d find someone simply by looking for them. Eventually, she might just need to ask someone... her descriptions might not be the best, but it would be better than nothing, right? Her running around had depleted to a simple walk, but her eyes kept on glancing around. There was still some hope that if she looked close enough at her surroundings, she see something familiar. And after some time? She did.

Feet had paused in their movement by instinct, staying like that for a few seconds before logic began running through her head again instead of disbelief. “ Harukawa-san?! “ Raising her voice considerably, her legs finally brought her back into a jog as she had been a little further than she thought she would be. As soon as she caught up, a smile forming on her face as her eyes only expressed concern. Her hands had slightly raised up too, perhaps suggesting that she had intended to do something else... people weren’t always as affectionate as her, however, so she had decided against it last minute. The other didn’t seem like she was clueless like Kaede currently was, or not as clueless... how long has she been here? “ You’re here too? Have things been alright? Do you know if any of the others are here too? Or where we are? “
