Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my change of name: this is Cho Hakkai.

I appear to have reappeared. Although I don't want to give undue hope to anyone who's recently lost a god or shinki, I'd like to announce that my classes will be continuing as usual.

To those who were living upstairs at the school the past few days, I expect you to help me clean up the mess. You know who you are.

[There are animal cracker crumbs everywhere.

And apart from that he's just not going to mention the events of last few days. At least he wasn't an actual child, but....]

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused it? I'm certain I felt something in the air for a few hours before it happened.

Comments

[reformedsinner]

Yes, of course. Are you cooking? I'll leave the menu up to you.

[He'd been planning to make dinner after he got home from classes, but...]

[kagenonadeshiko]

not just yet
im out getting some fresh air at the moment
it is such a beautiful day

[reformedsinner]

It is very nice, isn't it?

I notice you're doing well with your phone already.

[Oh dear, what is she outside wearing....]

[kagenonadeshiko]

[Don't worry, Hakkai-sama. Your shinki was resourceful enough to find something to wear before going out.]

i think so too
been practicing a lot today
phones borderlines
i think i'm getting the hang of it now

[reformedsinner]

Let me know if you'd like any borderline advice?

I'm afraid I can't cast them anymore, but I flatter myself that I was well practiced as a shinki.

[kagenonadeshiko]

of course
i can use all the help i can get right now
by the way are you free tomorrow

[reformedsinner]

Yes, in the morning.

[kagenonadeshiko]

perfect
we could really stand to do some shopping
your shirts are comfy and all
but i can't go on wearing only them forever hakkaisama

[reformedsinner]

Of course. I apologize; I should have taken you today.

I wasn't paying proper attention this morning.

[Not after waking up with so many memories of Kanan fresh and raw in his mind. Ayumu is not much like her, except perhaps in her cheerful steel and her height, and her death. It's enough.

He'd barely greeted her when he'd gotten back to the temple from the school, swept up Jeep, and hidden in the garden until it was time for class. He probably, in retrospect, deserves this.]

[kagenonadeshiko]

its fine
its been a weird few days
just so long as we get it done tomorrow

[The past few days were probably rough on him, too. For all she knows, he could have been a lost child on his own, too. It's almost enough to make her feel remorse but not really. After prioritizing basic survival for the past couple of days, it's a little hard to shake that mindset.

That and she's really tired of being half-naked.]

[reformedsinner]

Yes, of course. First thing in the morning.

[kagenonadeshiko]

thank you hakkaisama
ill go get started on dinner now
