Date’s never had a cell phone before. ...For whatever reason, even the year before he got his left eye, he’d never really seen the need for one. But now that he has one, he can’t help but look through all the options. Is NILE on here? To-witter? Maybe he could try sending Mizuki a message, to see if she...

Everything stops when he sees that familiar headband that looks like cat ears. 

It’s her! It’s really her!

“Oh thank god.” 

He lets out a sigh of relief, and very barely restrains himself from running over and hugging her. Only because Mizuki’s been awkward about physical affection from him for the past four years and hugging someone out of nowhere is something Iris does, not him. 

“Iris! I’m glad to see you’re here--and doing okay. It’s nice to see you out of the hospital, too.”

Wait...considering he was somewhere else...with no idea how he got here, was it possible this was a parallel universe? How could he be sure this was...his Iris? 

...Maybe he’ll just worry about that later. A probably friendly face is better than nothing, after all. He just hopes she knows what he’s talking about.

“Have you seen Mizuki at all? I’m sure she’s going to be mad as hell at me, considering I was going to take her to dinner. Is your mom here? And before you even think about asking, I am not playing ShovelForge with you.”

Maybe this had been a bad idea. But it’s too cold to stay out for too long, and she doesn’t have much on her right now, so how else is she supposed to play any games outside of going to an arcade or something? Her options are limited, so she sucks it up and goes out— but it’s so crowded and noisy, she hardly gets a few steps in before she begins to freeze up. Oh no no no, that won’t do at all! C’mon, just a little more, you can do this! Think about how much fun it’ll be if she can just get going— they’d be so proud of her, right...? She’s doing this for her own sake too.

She takes another step forward, then another: when she really gets into the right mindset, it’s a lot easier to do, despite the fact that the noise is a little overwhelming on her senses. But she persists, nonetheless, though steps falter and pause in front of a game that catches her eye. An awed noise slips from her lips— maybe she’ll stop and play this one? Hm. She’s busy deliberating when she realizes she’s no longer alone, and starts a little. “Oh! S-Sorry, were you waiting for this? I’ll move out of your way!”

It’s been... an entire five minutes. That’s how long Mizuki’s been here for, Mimikyu curled up in her arms. 

The darkness around them does little to comfort her small partner Pokemon, who seems especially distraught by their circumstances. Mimikyu was a lonely sort of creature, after all, and to suddenly be apart from all of their friends and family save one... 

Well, even Mizuki with her unfaltering expression must admit to being put off by it all. Even if she were one of the strongest trainers around, someone who’s seen many strange things during her travels, she was still a child before those things.

Still, smile stays glued to her face with concerns buried deep in hopes that she can provide even a little comfort to her partner.
