@beyond-project liked for a starter with Yuu-kun!
The beach is quiet. The beach is nice. The ocean is one of the only sounds that’s still the same in every version of reality, fabricated or not. Easy to duplicate, they suppose.
Yuu-kun lays in the sand with their eyes closed, listening. The white noise calms them, lulling them further and further away from the world with the deep red sky and the feelings too big for them to handle right now. This was easier. Laying still in the light of the gradually setting sun and focusing on the ocean instead of anything else.
They wonder what Junko would say if she found them asleep on the beach. Probably kick them.
Their brow furrows and they huff out their nose. They aren’t supposed to think about that. They’re not supposed to think about her at all. Hinata said so. They still aren’t sure how to feel about his name change, but they’re smarter than to challenge the most talented person ever.
… With one exception, of course. Keiko counts as the most talented person, too. But she was still a kid. Just like them. So it was a little different. They knew Keiko better than they knew Hinata, so she was easier to be around.
As if she read their mind somehow, when they open their eyes they find her staring down at them, motionless. They hadn’t heard her approach, but that’s normal for her. They don’t startle, simply raising an eyebrow up at her. “Hey. Need something?”
