#unsetter

Daichi ponders as to why during one of his morning walks around the city. Perhaps he hopes that sooner than later he will wake up back in his bed, return to Karasuno and it’ll seem like a bad dream, leaving him to ignore the need to adapt. It could also be that he simply doesn’t want to assimilate to the city life; his check list alone contains learn self-defense and find a job. He wishes he could compare this adjustment period to the transition of adulthood, but somehow it doesn’t seem to correlate.

He is completely occupied with his current dilemma that he doesn’t quite notice the familiar face a few feet ahead of him. Actually, he does notice the familiar face, he knows it’s Sugawara, his best friend and loyal vice captain; however, it simply doesn’t befall Daichi that Suga is in the city. It seems his fantasies of home have melded into reality, leaving him to be nonchalant with the meeting. The casual pace slows to a stop in front of Sugawara and he greets him in a calm manner. He blinks and a second goes by before it suddenly hits him.

His body jerks in shock and he lifts his hands to grip firmly on Sugawara’s shoulders to ensure that he is solid mass. “S-S-S-Suga!” he cries out, bewildered eyes staring intensely at his friend’s face. He takes in Sugawara’s features, unable to resist the thought that he is a vision of beauty. Daichi’s grip tightens and he proceeds to lightly  shake him, “It really is you, Suga, you don’t know how happy I am to see you.” The staggered look Daichi is sporting easily transitions to one of pure joy. His big, toothy smile is on display for the world to see and Sugawara has first row seats.

“Yamaguchi is here, did you know that?” he laughs, his hands clapping on top of Sugawara’s shoulders now, unable to resist from touching him. He didn’t believe he would see anyone else from his team here, let alone one of his best friends. This feeling has to be better than watching Kageyama and Hinata’s fast attack. “Come back to my apartment, we need to chat about what’s been going on. I haven’t been able to talk to anyone about what has happened.” 

play nice, child

Activity was still rife across stretching to every corner of the city; there was no one Sector that could be deemed ‘safe’ to converge within. Somehow, with much of it’s damage reversed, Sector 2 had become the choice, and close to the portal, Aichi stood in wait alongside Kai’s Alter.

They were to descend; the force whom had voiced their agreement to the plan,'s goal. The gathering provoked smiling momentarily from Aichi, and then resuming a bolder facade.

            “Before we go, I just want to say thank you for coming. It goes without saying the risks we’re facing, but having people from both sides... it’s got to say something for our chances.

Though the fighting the primarily how the war’s course has, and will, run; I’ve confidence that we can make a difference than allow total annihilation to happen”.

Kai’s dialogue was far less flowery, gazing at the vortex before them with a sort of wistfulness about him.             “I’ve got someone on the other side who might be able to lend a hand. If it means putting an end to this madness, I’ll do all that’s necessary”.

There was something indescribable about the concept of going home after the events of the past few weeks, but Kai wouldn’t hesitate. He’d lead the way in.

Lost and confused was really the only way to explain Eijun’s mindset. This place was enormous, confusing, much more overwhelming than being thrust from the middle of nowhere into Tokyo for school. Except in Tokyo the buildings didn’t move. Probably.

Familiarity was a comfort though, as Eijun found himself without equipment and running the bases at the baseball diamond in the park. It was just like training on his own, right? If only he could find a tire...
